Learn to Cook. Learn the World.
Every workshop is a chance to learn something new, meet ESCP students from across programs and cook together inside real Parisian restaurant kitchens.
At Ratatopia Club, ESCP students cook, connect and discover new flavours right in the kitchens of Parisian restaurants. Each session is led by a professional chef and gives you the chance to explore a different cuisine in an authentic, hands-on way.
Ratatopia is made for everyone on campus. If you usually fall back on pasta or the same three meals, this is your chance to finally learn real dishes you can be proud of. And if you already love cooking, you will get the rare opportunity to try advanced techniques and exclusive recipes straight from restaurant chefs.
What makes Ratatopia unique is the mix of people it brings together. Students from different ESCP programs meet, cook together and share a meal in a relaxed, open environment that feels nothing like a typical student event.
It is about good food, genuine conversations and discovering new cultures with people you might not meet otherwise. That is the Ratatopia experience.
