Chef Chris Coombs launched his culinary career with remarkable momentum, opening Deuxave at just 26 years old.

Today, Deuxave stands as one of Boston’s most acclaimed fine-dining destinations, earning the prestigious Forbes 4-Star Award, a 2-glass Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and being named Best French Restaurant in Boston (2025) by Boston Magazine. Known for its refined French-American cuisine, exceptional wine program, and consistently elevated service, Deuxave has become a benchmark for modern luxury dining in New England.

Chris has also redefined the steakhouse experience with Boston Chops, an urban bistro concept that has earned critical acclaim for its bold menu and polished design. His most ambitious and innovative project is Bosse — a luxury sports and wellness club where he oversees all culinary operations. Within Bosse, the full-service Bosse Enoteca received a 1-glass Wine Spectator Award, and the property itself was honored as Best of Boston in 2025, further reinforcing Chris’s reputation for building exceptional hospitality experiences from the ground up.

Throughout his career, Chris has been recognized as one of the most influential chefs in America. His accolades include Forbes 30 Under 30, StarChefs Rising Star Chef, and national television appearances on Food Network’s Chopped and CBS’s The Dish. He has also been featured by Food & Wine Magazine for his contributions to the culinary world.
