About Chef Marouane Rahali

Chef Marouane Rahali is the Italian head chef of Alto Vino at the Bangalore Marriott Hotel, Whitefield and Alba at the JW Marriott Hotel, Bengaluru. Being the youngest of four brothers, it usually fell on him to help his mother with the cooking and cleaning, and he credits most of what he has learnt to this phase. His father always joked that he cannot really cook so at 13, he took it as a challenge. He went, and met the chef at a famous restaurant in his hometown where his parents dined regularly. The chef there handed him a big basket of onions and knife saying that the knife is going to be his best friend if hewants to become a chef. He worked there without pay, picking up the basics, and eventually learning to make good sauces and handmade pasta. His father was a food lover and dreamt of opening his own restaurant someday. With that in mind, he went to culinary school, and later worked in Sweden and Brussels where he trained under a Michelin star chef. Before coming to Bengaluru, he worked in Muscat for four years and learnt a lot about Thai, Indian, Indonesian and Arabic cuisine there. At a very young age, Chef Marou is already heading one of the best Italian restaurants in town!
