Our Story
About Us
At the heart of Aioli’s identity lies a profound passion for food, fostered by culinary mastermind Chef John Aboud. Inspired by the richness of global culinary traditions, Chef John curated a menu and crafted a philosophy that blends classic techniques with innovative flair, with a special focus on Mediterranean influences.
​
The word “Aioli” itself is derived from two words: “ail,” which is French for garlic, and “oli,” which is Catalan for oil. This simple yet essential combination is at the core of Mediterranean cooking, reflecting the heart of our culinary ethos—flavorful, authentic, and rooted in tradition.
Aioli Marketplace continues this legacy by offering a thoughtfully curated selection of gourmet ingredients, freshly prepared meals, and artisanal products. Our daily buffet and chilled selections feature an array of hot and cold dishes, crafted with the finest ingredients and ready to enjoy.

The Chef
John Aboud
Our Chef is more than just a master of the kitchen, he is an artist with a palette of flavors. Chef John first fell in love with the alchemy of flavors at a young age in his grandmother's kitchen. At only 12 years old, he started experimenting in his very own backyard with food.
Following his university studies in Economics and Management, Chef John pursued an education in the culinary arts, where he quickly excelled to the top of his class. Following this, he seized an opportunity to travel to Paris where he practiced his passion in a three Michelin star restaurant for many years, further developing his culinary expertise and of course fostering his love for all things food.
With his passion for food, he traveled the world and immersed himself in diverse cultures and cuisines, gathering inspiration from bustling markets, street food vendors, and Michelin-starred restaurants alike.
Drawing from his diverse background and global travels, Chef John transforms his personal experiences, memories and visions into culinary artistry that leave a lasting impression. Every dish is thoughtfully composed and reflects the essence of his formal training and travels.
