The story
A signature built step by step.
01
Benin
The transmission
It was in Benin, in the family kitchen and especially alongside his grandmother Agui, that Rhonel's first relationship with cooking was born. Before technique, there were tastes, gestures, produce and memory.
02
Institut Paul Bocuse
The technique
Training at Institut Paul Bocuse gave him the fundamentals of French gastronomy: precision, technique, organisation and rigour. A training that didn't replace his roots, but gave him new tools to express them.
03
The world
The encounter
Travel then became a laboratory. In every territory, Rhonel observes, tastes, exchanges and learns. From the Jordanian desert to Japanese kitchens, these encounters nourish the way he cooks.
04
RhonCooking
The creation
RhonCooking was born from this meeting of roots, technique and exploration. A free cuisine that can tell the story of Benin in Paris, bring Africa and Japan into dialogue in Osaka, or turn an event into a true experience.
Why RhonCooking?
A signature in three dimensions.
Roots
A cuisine deeply inspired by Benin and African cultures, without trying to freeze them into a fixed tradition.
Gastronomic rigour
French training and a contemporary approach to produce, technique and plating.
A curiosity for the world
Travel and encounters that constantly enrich Rhonel's cuisine.
The result: a cuisine that tells where it comes from without ever refusing to go elsewhere.
