Vin Mon Lapin. Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

“I love working with RATIONAL. I don't think I could ever go back.”

Marc Oliver Frappier, Executive Chef.

The RATIONAL Solution.

When opening Vin Mon Lapin, Chef Frappier wanted to maximize the available space for guests. This created a a very small footprint for the kitchen, which limited the equipment that they could install. When drafting their foodservice equipment list, it became clear that they needed to find multifunctional equipment. “It just made sense to find a one unit that could do all of the above. Purchasing a RATIONAL for this kitchen was the perfect solution,” shares Frappier.

Chef Frappier first discovered RATIONAL when working at restaurants in Europe. “It blew my mind working with this oven. I had never worked with anything like it, and I couldn't believe how well it worked,” remarked Chef Frappier.

Being able to save particular cooking programs is another reason that Chef Frappier loves having a RATIONAL in his kitchen. He adds, “Being able to save the program for our buckwheat and honey cake was a major time saver. It is a very difficult process to follow, so once we got the result we wanted we simply saved the program. Now we get the same consistency time after time."
