Romain Mariani, private chef on the French Riviera

The Chef

Romain Mariani

It all began with sharing knowledge. In China, I led cookery and pastry masterclasses. I shared the kitchen with Alain Passard and cooked for Charles Leclerc and Laurent Baffie. These encounters inspired a book, Les desserts de Romain Mariani (Éditions Clémentine).

Today, this journey shapes a cuisine guided by produce, precision and the embers. Crisp and melting textures play off one another; simplicity conceals technique.

Based in Beausoleil, I cook in your home, in Monaco and in private villas along the French Riviera.

The signature

Crispness as a signature.

Crisp, crunchy, melting, airy. Texture gives each dish its character; the embers leave their signature.

Crispy textures first brought my cuisine to attention on social media. This taste for contrast guides my dishes, from the first bite to dessert.

Binchotan, a Japanese charcoal with an intense, steady heat, takes this exploration further: precise cooking, a delicate crust and a smoky note that complements the produce.

My binchotan grill travels with me, wherever the table is set.
