"Coming home to Scotland to open my own restaurant was a lifelong dream."

Brian Maule left his Ayrshire home town to train in the culinary capital of France, Lyon. He worked with some of the country’s most respected chefs.

His potential was spotted by the Roux brothers of Le Gavroche fame and at the age of only 24, he was appointed head chef at their world famous Michelin star London Restaurant, in charge of a select brigade of 18 chefs.

Brian opened the doors of his Glasgow, fine dining restaurant, Chardon D`or in 2001, bringing his international reputation for preparing some of Europe`s best food with him. Since then the business has grown and now includes private dining facilities, three event rooms and the Chardon d`Or bars.
