Head Chef

Marc-Alexandre Rouaud

From the French city of Nantes, Marc-Alexandre brings over 16 years of experience shaped by Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe and the Pacific. His journey began in hospitality management before taking him to the Four Seasons in Bora Bora, where he cooked for international celebrities and honed his refined, detail-driven approach. At NOUR, Marc-Alexandre works alongside Executive Chef Ibrahim Kasif to lead the kitchen with quiet precision and care. For him, hospitality is about creating joy — found in the sparkle of a guest's first bite or the warmth of a family gathered around the table.

Restaurant Manager

Jiwoon Woo

With more than ten years of hospitality experience, Jiwoon brings a blend of precision, empathy, and drive to her role as Restaurant Manager at NOUR. Her career began in 2011 in South Korea and has since evolved across cafés, gelaterias, and some of Sydney's busiest fine dining venues. Joining NOUR in 2023, Jiwoon quickly became an integral part of the leadership team, overseeing operations, service excellence, and staff development alongside the General Manager. She is admired for her supportive leadership style and her belief that true hospitality lies in the simple, human moments — a returning guest's smile, a team member's success, or the buzz of a full dining room.
