Some people run great venues.
Some people build great teams.
Alex Ghalleb has spent his career doing both.
From Soho House and Grind to Charlotte’s Group, Ennismore and now Five Graces Hospitality, he’s worked across openings, operations and growth at scale — helping build restaurants that succeed beyond the launch moment.
More recently, that includes projects like Dorian in Notting Hill and Julie’s in Holland Park.

How culture holds under pressure.
And what it takes to build restaurants that actually last.
