Raphaël 

Raphaël Barras was born and raised in France, instilling in him a natural love for conviviality - good food, good wine (make it a rosé) and good company.

 

Passionate about food, he attended one of the top catering schools in the country. At 19, he moved to the UK, working his way up to Head Chef and General Manager of fine dining restaurants, one of which obtained three rosettes. He has extensive experience in setting up restaurants, menu design and kitchen management, having catered for very large events. Working both in India and on the African continent, Raphaël widened his knowledge of ingredients and methods but also producing beautiful dishes sustainably.

​

When cooking, his main goal is to create the very best experience for guests and maintaining a high quality of service and delivery at every point of contact. He finds great satisfaction in paying homage to Classic French Cuisine while creating innovative and exciting seasonal dishes, pleasing to the eye, palate and environment.
