About Chef Marc de Passorio:

Born in Cameroon and raised on Reunion Island, Marc de Passorio only had one goal as a young chef – to go to France, train at the highest level and come back and open the first Michelin-starred restaurant in the Indian Ocean. And that’s exactly what he did, achieving that much-lauded star not once, but multiple times.

Having opened restaurants internationally and consulted in places like Singapore, Israel and Russia (where he cooked for Vladimir Putin) he fell head over heels in love with New Zealand on a trip in 2012. When the opportunity presented itself to live here and set up the kitchen at Harbour Society the new SO/ Auckland hotel, he didn’t hesitate, and now happily calls Auckland home. New fine dining restaurant “Harbour society” by Marc de Passorio at So/ Auckland reached top 5 restaurants in Auckland in five months’ time. Just recently in October 2020 Chef Marc opened a new fine dining sea food focused restaurant “La maree by Marc de Passorio” at new-look Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour.

Marc’s passion for only using the best products available is unsurpassed, and he’s bringing 38 years of international knowledge and combining it with stunning local ingredients to create unforgettable experience for guests. In 2009 with Michelin guide support Chef Marc organized Auckland French Cuisine Festival bringing five Michelin starred Chefs together in one kitchen to share their knowledge and experience with local culinary students and guests.

His cooking philosophy is to harness the culinary traditions of France, together with NZ’s finest products, and transform them into culinary masterpieces to create a world-class Michelin-worthy experience for New Zealanders.
