Born and raised in France, Executive Chef Gaetan Biesuz learned his passion for cooking from his grandmother, a professional chef. As soon as he left school, he followed in her footsteps, training in his hometown of Lyon at bistros and brasseries – one of which was awarded two Michelin stars. His love of travel came at a later stage, when he joined the culinary team of a promiment luxury hotel group and discovered the world while working at restaurants in the United States, Dubai, Thailand, Malaysia and eventually, Indonesia.

South East Asia and the incredible diversity of its people, cultures and cuisines soon captivated Gaetan, and he spent the next decade learning how to present the region’s exotic ingredients and flavours using the western techniques of his upbringing. Today, this fascinating duality is the inspiration behind the menu at Rumari Restaurant. Chef Gaetan, together with Chef Eka maintains his creativity with regular visits to Bali’s vibrant markets and local restaurants, and is passionate about making every dish a memorable gastronomic experience.
