Meet the team
Two Chefs, One Shared Vision of Hospitality
Bienvanui is, above all, a meeting of minds: that of a chef and a pastry chef, each drawing on different culinary traditions but united by a shared commitment to authenticity in the kitchen.
Antonin, Chef
Of Vietnamese origin, the chef draws on his childhood and his roots to create a generous Asian cuisine built around slowly infused broths, fresh herbs, and spices used in just the right proportions. His Mediterranean cuisine, meanwhile, draws inspiration from the southern coastlines and their bountiful sunshine.
At Bienvanui, he crafts a dual menu faithful to his two passions, without ever seeking to blend them: each culture retains its identity, its techniques, and its authenticity.
Marine, Pastry Chef
Of Réunionese and Sicilian descent, the pastry chef serves as the bridge between the restaurant’s two culinary worlds. Her journey through the flavors of the Indian Ocean and Sicily allows her to create desserts that naturally harmonize with both Asian and Mediterranean traditions.
Each sweet creation rounds out the meal like a signature: diverse in its influences, yet always true to its roots.
An Intimate Team
With just 4 tables and 12 seats, the duo at Bienvanui fosters a rare sense of closeness with their guests. Both in the kitchen and in the dining room, everyone makes it a point of honor to ensure that every meal is a moment of sincere hospitality, true to the restaurant’s name.
