2023 Winner

Yassine Tahri

Yassine Tahri, 23 years old, in his final year of a culinary arts bachelor at FERRANDI Paris, Bordeaux campus, trained by Damien Thurin, wins the 13th edition of the Trophée Jean Rougié.

He impressed the jury with the consistency of flavors and technical skill demonstrated by both his cold dish – Layered piece, pike and foie gras, vegetable base – and his hot dish.

Being his first competition, he chose the Jean Rougié Trophy for its renown. A happy decision that led him to victory with Damien Thurin, his teacher, with whom he shared undeniable work chemistry.

Yassine, motivated and determined, already has precise ideas about his professional project. He wishes to continue training in prestigious establishments and eventually open a gourmet restaurant in Morocco, his home country. His ambition? To obtain the first Michelin star in Morocco!
