For this new chef's residence, Bánh Mì founders Vanessa and Pierre invite chef Fede Iwakawa, who promises a cosmopolitan gastronomic touch.

Blending Japanese, Argentinean, Italian and Peruvian origins, chef Fede Iwakawa arrives at the Bánh Mì from May 6 to 24 for a new chef residency. After studying cooking in Cordoba, Chef Iwakawa worked and traveled in Australia, New Zealand and Asia, before arriving in Paris. Guided by his travels in Southeast Asia and his multicultural heritage, he offers a Latin-Asian cuisine, where these two cultures meet with character and elegance. Why not let yourself be tempted by calamaretti yakitori, marinated cucumbers and peas, wakame cream and praline, or barbecued octopus, beurre blanc and chimichurri, and to finish off, rice pudding, burnt rice siphon, tuile and black sesame praline. Quite a program…
