About Ooway Events
My name is Theo. I'm a chef that mostly worked at Michelin Star Gastronomic restaurants.

I wanted to give back to others all I received throughout my life.
Ooway is my personal experience and opportunities in the form of a challenge.

Through my journey around Europe, I was lucky enough to meet people and professionals. With them, I worked at culinary events and underwent formative collaborations.

Ooway is the opportunity to show your skills, build connections, challenge yourself and grow from it.

we been inviting two chefs from around the world to work together for the first time. They will bring their own concept of food to the Ooway events .

Ooway, it's Today

What does 'Ooway' mean, and what does it stand for?


Ooway's literal meaning is 'Today'. It comes from the phonetic of the word 'Uèi' of the french dialect called Provençal.
Ooway, it's my way to give back what has been provided to me in the past. It is my experiences and opportunities received and all that helped me grow to where I am now.

I want to give peer chefs the opportunity to create the food they want, put their expertise into play, to challenge them.
I want to give them connections and the ability to create their growth.

Ooway, it's Gastronomie.
Ooway, it's Opportunities.
Ooway, it's Challenges.
Ooway, it's Creation.

Ooway, it's Today.
What is next ?
After two years, we are putting Ooway on pause until we find the right place to restart the event.
