How far in advance should I get in touch?+
Ideally 2 to 3 weeks ahead, more for a weekend or high season. For a closer date, reach out anyway — depending on the schedule, a project can sometimes be arranged within a few days.
Do you work on weddings?+
Yes. From the rehearsal dinner to the main reception, Rhonel creates bespoke culinary experiences for your wedding, on his own or in coordination with your other vendors.
Do you work with companies and event agencies?+
Yes. Seminars, product launches, brand receptions: RhonCooking designs formats scaled to your guest count and to your company's or agency's identity.
Can you build a menu that's entirely Beninese?+
Yes, and it's one of the most requested experiences. Rhonel can build a menu rooted in Benin's produce and flavours, from the most traditional to the most contemporary.
Can you build a menu around a product or a territory?+
Yes. Every menu can be conceived as a journey around a product (a fish, a spice, a fruit) or a specific territory — Cotonou, Paris, Geneva, Osaka or anywhere else that inspires you.
Do you work internationally?+
Yes. Cotonou, Paris, Geneva and Osaka are his territories of reference, but Rhonel travels across France, Benin and internationally depending on your project.
Can you work alongside an existing kitchen team?+
Yes. Rhonel can design a menu and lead a team already in place — at a reception venue, a restaurant or a residence — rather than bringing his own brigade.
Do you offer menu creation for restaurants?+
Yes, as part of the Consulting & Creation offering: menu development, concept creation, support for an opening or a repositioning.
Can drinks and pairings be included?+
Yes, on request. Food and wine pairings, signature cocktails or non-alcoholic drinks can be designed alongside the menu, depending on your wishes and your vendors.
Do you accommodate allergies and dietary requirements?+
Yes, every menu is bespoke. Mention any allergies, intolerances or religious dietary restrictions in the contact form — they're built into the menu from the start.
How does the quote process work?+
Since every project is bespoke, rates are set case by case based on the project type, location, guest count, number of courses and your specific needs. A personalised quote follows your request.
