Rongorri opened in March 2024, fulfilling a dream that Yirong had pursued for years: to open his own restaurant in Bilbao and create a place where he could express his personal approach to cooking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its name brings together the two roots of this story:\u00a0Rong (\u5d58)<\/strong>\u00a0It is part of Yirong\u2019s name and, in Chinese, refers to a chain of towering, majestic mountains, evoking a sense of grandeur, elevation, and steadfastness.\u00a0Gorri<\/strong>\u00a0It means \u201cred\u201d in Basque, a color associated with fire, iron, and Basque identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the same syllable, rong, written with a different Chinese character (\u878d), means \u201cfusion\u201d or \u201ccoming together,\u201d perfectly reflecting the essence of our cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Born in Fujian and raised in Bilbao, Yirong grew up in a family with close ties to gastronomy. His father, a Chinese chef specializing in Fujian cuisine, introduced him from an early age to the aromas, techniques, and discipline of the profession. Those experiences sparked a curiosity that would eventually become his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He developed his culinary training in the Basque Country, gaining experience in traditional Basque cuisine in Getaria. There, he deepened his knowledge of Basque culinary traditions, ingredient-led cooking, and the precision required in a professional kitchen. He later expanded his expertise with a master\u2019s degree in restaurant management and innovation and took part in the organisation of large-scale events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the opening of Rongorri, Yirong brought to life a personal project that combines his professional journey with the culinary memories of his family. A dream transformed into a restaurant that continues to evolve with every season, every service, and every dish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
