Romain

Welcome to Racines! I would like to share with you my love for Provençal cuisine, which has been a part of my life since childhood in Nice, in the South

of France, on the Mediterranean coast.

My earliest kitchen memories revolve around my

grandmother’s dishes — especially her aioli, ratatouille, and pissaladière—which have deeply influenced my culinary journey.

I’ve always wanted to be a chef. My career began at the renowned La Chèvre d'Or, and

my journey has taken me around the world, from Ireland to Paris, Melbourne, and Bangkok.

Here at Racines, I invite you to let your palate explore and savour unique flavours, where Southern French and Mediterranean traditions meet globally inspired ingredients.
