The kitchen behind YouBeChef
Restaurant food, made for home.
YouBeChef is the meal kit side of RT Café Grill in Ryde, on the Isle of Wight: the restaurant of Chef Robert Thompson MBE.
A great restaurant night, in your own kitchen.
YouBeChef was created to bring the feeling of a great restaurant night into your own home. Not as a replacement for going out, but as a way to enjoy the same care, balance and flavour somewhere more relaxed.
It's about slowing down, sharing a meal and enjoying the moment together, without pressure or performance.
Chef Robert Thompson MBE.
Robert has cooked professionally since his early twenties. He is the chef who brought the Isle of Wight its first Michelin star, and was appointed MBE for services to hospitality.
Today he runs RT Café Grill in Ryde: a relaxed restaurant cooking to restaurant standards, in a dining room people want to spend an evening in. YouBeChef is what happens when that same kitchen sends its menus across the country.
The hard work, done.
This isn't about learning to be a chef. It's about having a great evening at home.
