RICARDO CHANETON

A pentalingual native of Venezuela, Ricardo Chaneton grew up amongst a mixture of European and South American cooking. After graduating from culinary school and following a short stint at Le Gourmet at InterContinental Tamanaco Hotel in Caracas, Venezuela, Ricardo embarked upon a year-long apprenticeship at the 3-Michelin-starred Quique Dacosta in Denia, Spain. These were his first forays into the world of fine dining, which opened the doors to his next career-defining moments in Menton, France.

After joining the 3-Michelin-starred Mirazur, the current no.1 restaurant from The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2019, Ricardo became the Executive Chef of 1-Michelin-starred, Petrus at Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, where he spent almost 4 years leading an award-winning team from the young age of 28. At ​MONO​, Chef Ricardo combines his modern French training from 3-Michelin-starred kitchens around the world with his personal nuances, introducing a single tasting menu centred around seasonal ingredients. Each course is a reflection of his curious nature, expertly executed with creative flair and by way of untrodden ground. Not only is ​MONO​ a culmination of his years of wisdom gained within fine dining, but a novelty playground where experiments of past, present, future and everything in-between come together.
