hef Jean-Christophe was born in Northeast France and has over 35 years of experience working in famous Michelin star restaurants in France. After a short visit in the U.S. and one night in Scottsdale in 2007, Jean-Christophe Gros and Ségolène Gros fell in love with the city. Their family decided to move to Scottsdale in 2015 to share their passion. Voila French Bistro serves traditional French cuisine with a modern and elegant style. Chef is running the kitchen and his wife, Ségolène, with 25 years in the industry, runs the front of the restaurant. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “The simplicity and authenticity of our cuisine. We treat our guests like family and hope that while they visit and enjoy our food they might close their eyes and feel like they are in France.” STRENGTH OF STAFF: “We take pride in providing the best service to our guests. We train our staff to be attentive and pay attention to the smallest details. We are passionate about serving the best food and we love to share our culinary traditions from France.” OUTLOOK FOR 2021: “We recently hired a new chef, who also moved here from France, Thomas Potier. Thomas worked with Chef Jean-Christophe for many years in France. He specializes in pastries, so we hope to offer new desserts. We are also considering serving breakfast.”
