(1754-1817)

Beauvilliers is credited with having the first real restaurant in Paris; grande Taverne de Londres on the Rue de Richelieu. Having been a Chef of the Count of Provence, he would greet his guests in his official uniform (officier de bouche de reserve) complete with a sword.

On the eve of the French Revolution, he opened a restaurant under his own name, that reigned supreme for many years, despite the Revolution. The doors to this establishment; Beauvilliers, were finally closed 8 years after his death in 1828. In 1814 he wrote, "L'art de cuisiner" and also collaborated with Careme on La Cuisine
ordinair.
