Christelle Vougo-Anet
She is the co-founder of three of the most luxurious restaurants in the city of Abidjan with her husband and partner Frank Anet. The Ivorian, who is always ready to dare new flavours, brings originality to the table when designing dishes.
“I think I understand the science behind cooking. And I do not have a comfort zone, I am open to all cultures and all ingredients. From caviar to caviar, the pleasure is the same when it comes to highlighting certain ingredients,” she said.
Vougo, who moved from waitress to manager after more than 15 years in the United States, has won several awards including Restaurant of the Year at the Abidjan Restaurant Awards, Best Service and Best African Restaurant.
