VINU RAVEENDERAN

CARNIVAL BY TRÈSIND

Passionate about art since a young age, Vinu Raveendran always knew that being a chef was his calling. Having trained at one of the finest hospitality institutions in India, Vinu started his culinary journey at age of 19 from the Oberoi Centre for Learning & Development (OCLD). Lauded for his creativity and talent, at a fairly young age, he led the pre-opening team of Le Cirque at the Leela Palace in Mumbai. His passion to explore cuisines and study the mixology of flavours allowed him to travel to work with some of the best chefs, including Mugaritz in Spain and Otto e Mezzo in Hong Kong. He then moved to Dubai, leading the pre-opening team for TRE. Having dabbled in various cuisines and cooking styles, he decided to use his experience and knowledge to create unique experiences with Indian cuisine of his homeland which led to his move to Passion F&B in 2016 to create a unique concept serving post-modern Indian cuisine - Carnival By Trèsind.
