Ramzi Saade, Founder Atica, Paris, France

In today’s episode, Antoine Abou-Samra welcomes Ramzi Saade, Founder of Atica, Paris, France SPECIAL GUEST BIO Creating unforgettable moments that make people happy is Ramzi’s raison d’être. Ramzi is the founder of Atica, an immersive restaurant opening soon in Paris. Atica creates multisensory gastronomic experiences by mixing cuisine, music, digital art, filmmaking, and perfumery to put forward a different culture of the world every season. Atica is the first restaurant in the world to have sold tables for its “experience” a year before the opening. New tickets will be soon made available for people on the website’s waitlist. Prior to Atica, Ramzi led a dual career in hospitality (the Yin to develop the right brain) and engineering (the Yang to develop the left brain). On one hand, he worked as a server and a chef at avant-garde multi-cultural gastronomic restaurants in Canada and Denmark to bring smiles to people around the table. On the other hand, he managed architecture and construction projects, building hospitals, airports, museums, highways, and towers in Canada, Lebanon, and Qatar. Ramzi holds an MBA from INSEAD, a Diplome de Cuisine from Le Cordon Bleu, a Master of Engineering from the University of Toronto, and a Bachelor of Engineer from the American University of Beirut. Ramzi is a Lebanese Canadian living in Paris. When not in the kitchen or dining room, he is outdoors hiking, diving, skiing, foraging, fishing, to take in nature through the five senses.
