I wasn\u2019t expecting it. And yet, when you think about it, it makes so much sense. Valentin Pouzet, whom we\u2019ve come to know well in the kitchen at Coin Coin, is reigniting the flame at the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.odeongeneve.ch\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Od\u00e9on<\/strong><\/a>. And it\u2019s reassuring news. Because, first of all, it confirms that youth and talent still have a place in Geneva. But also because we have this mission\u2014admittedly a bit self-serving\u2014to keep our talent right here in Geneva. To see them grow here rather than watch them leave for elsewhere.       <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portugal, Greece, and Marseille&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the end of his stint on Rue des Bains, however, Valentin Pouzet has not been sitting still. From Portugal to Greece, with stops in the south of France\u2014a region he loves so much for its culture and marine treasures\u2014he has traveled, tasted, and observed. Travels, encounters, and, inevitably, a few more ideas packed in his luggage. And then the stars aligned. Benjamin Garin is now passing the torch and handing over the Od\u00e9on to the young chef. It\u2019s a handover that\u2019s taking shape gradually, with kindness, respect, and wisdom.     <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s another thing we love about this story. In a profession that\u2019s more demanding than ever, it\u2019s heartening to see a transition take place with such humility and trust. So, congratulations. To Benjamin Garin for passing the torch, to Valentin Pouzet for this new chapter, and long live the Od\u00e9on. Now there\u2019s only one thing left for us to do: discover the new menu from this incredibly talented chef.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is news we didn&#8217;t see coming, but which, in the end, makes so much sense.
