Racines Celebrates Two Years in Hong Kong

Racines welcomes Chef Vincent Thierry for a special one-night collaboration

In celebration of its two-year anniversary, Racines welcomes Chef Vincent Thierry of Chef’s Table—a two MICHELIN-starred restaurant in lebua at State Tower in Bangkok—to their kitchen for one night only on Tuesday 5 November, 2024. Chef Vincent played a pivotal role in shaping the career of Racines’ chef-founder, Romain Dupeyre, mentoring him when he first arrived in Bangkok. Together, they crafted the opening menus for Sirocco, lebua’s award-winning Mediterranean concept. For this special anniversary event, guests can look forward to an unforgettable evening of elevated, contemporary French cuisine as the two chefs reunite to blend their unique styles in an intimate, casual fine dining setting.

“Having this chance to work with Chef Vincent again is a true full-circle moment for me. His mentorship shaped my approach to technique, precision, and creativity in the kitchen. I’m excited to bring our shared love for French gastronomy and celebrate Racines and how far we’ve come in this special night,” says Chef Romain. “It makes me proud to see what Chef Romain has done with Racines, and it’s a joy to come together again for this special occasion. I’m honoured to be part of this journey, and look forward to celebrating with him in Racines,” says Chef Vincent.

As Racines celebrates its 2-year anniversary, this collaboration dinner is a testament to the restaurant’s rise as a sought-after destination for fine casual French fare in Hong Kong’s vibrant dining scene. While Racines has quickly become known for elevated Southern French cuisine, this special evening also welcomes the return of Chef Vincent Thierry to Hong Kong, whose former leadership at Caprice led the restaurant to earn its coveted Michelin stars, helping to shape the city’s fine dining landscape. Together, they will craft a memorable dining experience that reflects the spirit of Racines—blending tradition with innovation, and offering guests a one-of-a-kind experience that reflects the restaurant’s commitment to excellence and its continuing evolution in Hong Kong’s culinary landscape.

With an open kitchen layout, guests are treated to an immersive dining experience, as Chef Vincent and his team craft beautifully plated dishes with refined techniques, celebrating the natural flavors of every element.
