Mory Sacko Biography
Mory Sacko is a Paris-based Michelin-starred chef recognized for his contributions to contemporary French gastronomy. Born in Paris to Malian parents, Sacko gained experience in several of the city's prominent kitchens, including Le Meurice with Alain Ducasse. He also worked at Royal Monceau and Shangri-La before joining Mandarin Oriental, where he became sous-chef under Thierry Marx. During these years, Sacko developed a strong interest in Japanese culinary techniques and philosophy, which later influenced his culinary approach.
Sacko's appreciation for Japanese cuisine and culture led to the opening of his first restaurant, MoSuke, in Paris. The 35-seat restaurant blends French, West African, and Japanese cuisine. The name MoSuke combines Sacko's first name and Yasuke, a 16th-century African man who became a samurai in Japan, symbolizing the connection between African and Japanese cultures. Signature dishes include beef filet cured in shea butter with mafé and Breton lobster with tomato miso, lacto-fermented chilies, and charred watermelon. MoSuke is among the few restaurants using West African ingredients to receive a Michelin star and is one of a small number of Michelin-starred establishments led by a Black executive chef.
MoSuke's Michelin star established the restaurant as a culinary destination in Paris. Sacko has received several distinctions, including the Dotation Jeunes Talents Gault et Millau, the Young Chef Award from the Michelin Guide, Nouveau Talent from La Liste, and recognition as a Next Generation Leader by Time Magazine. He became the third French chef to appear on the cover of Time as part of the magazine's Next Generation Leaders feature. Sacko was also selected to cook for President Emmanuel Macron at an Africa-France summit.
Sacko appeared as a contestant on the French edition of Top Chef and has hosted his own cooking program, "Cuisine Ouverte," on French television. He has collaborated with fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, and GOAT, and expanded into fast-casual dining with MoSugo restaurants, including a location inside Galeries Lafayette's Boulevard Haussmann store. Sacko became the first Michelin-starred chef to create menus for Air France flights departing from several sub-Saharan African destinations, with his cuisine served in La Première and Business cabins on flights from Abidjan to Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
As part of a new generation promoting cultural diversity in French gastronomy, Sacko is among the few chefs of color in the French culinary spotlight. He has spoken about the lack of Black chef role models early in his career, and his visibility has contributed to greater representation in the industry. Named one of the top five most promising chefs in the world by La Liste, Sacko emphasizes a "dialogue between cultures" in his cooking, positioning him as a significant figure in the global culinary community.
