Chef Luan Nguyen

Founding Chef of Confluence , Hung Luan Nguyen was born in Saigon, Vietnam.

​

At the age of ten, history brought him to France, a country he embraced and where he has lived ever since. With the richness and creativity of this dual culture, the Chef gradually developed a unique, sophisticated culinary language, which can be described as a subtle amalgam of French gastronomy and Asian flavors.

​

After a career as an engineer, then professional training in the restaurant industry, he founded a catering business and worked as a private chef.

An inveterate traveler and confirmed art enthusiast, he naturally pursued experiences and developed collaborations in these two worlds : with The Peninsula Hotels, the 5-star Maison Bréguet, the contemporary drawing fair Drawing Now, the community of Les Amis du Palais de Tokyo, Galerie Jeanne Bucher Jaeger, Christian Berst art gallery, and Galerie Sator, among others.

​

Born out of a journey of heart and soul, at the crossroads of multiple worlds, Chef Hung Luan Nguyen’s first restaurant, Confluence, opened in 2024 as a culinary delight of French cuisine with Asian influences.
