Get to know me better

Passionate about all things food

With extensive experience in private catering and fine dining establishments, I bring a passion for exceptional cuisine to every table. My culinary journey has taken me across Europe, where I immersed myself in diverse culinary traditions, discovering and falling in love with an array of flavors and techniques. In recent years, I’ve channeled this passion into running a small, independent restaurant dedicated to celebrating local, seasonal produce. From mastering whole-animal butchery to sourcing fresh, foraged ingredients, my approach centers on sustainability, craftsmanship, and creating unforgettable dining experiences that honor the beauty of quality ingredients.

When you dine with me, you can expect a bespoke experience tailored to your tastes, featuring vibrant, thoughtfully crafted dishes that showcase the best of what nature has to offer. Every plate tells a story, combining my dedication to culinary excellence with a warm, personalized touch that ensures every meal feels special, memorable, and entirely unique.
