Chef Bernhard Mairinger
Chef At Home In Los Angeles
Get to know me better
Worldly trained chef with background in fine dining, grew up in Austria and started my cooking career at the age of 15.
Two times James Beard Award nominee and semi-finalist (Best New Restaurant and Rising
Star Chef), Chef Bernhard Mairinger brought Los Angeles its first taste of authentic Austrian
cuisine with BierBeisl Restaurant. The Austrian born chef who started his career in Los
Angeles as Chef de Cuisine with the renowned Patina Group - which earned 4* stars by the
LA Times during his time there - was quickly recognized as one of the Top 30Under30 young
talents within LA’s hospitality scene.
Critical acclaim followed, naming BierBeisl one of the Best New Restaurants on the lists of
Gayot, Zagat, LA Magazine and Angeleno Magazine. After earning raving reviews from the
LA Times and LA Weekly, BierBeisl was included in their 101 Best Restaurants and 99
Essential Restaurants list in LA.
National recognition arrived when Esquire Magazine named BierBeisl one of the Hottest
New Restaurants in America and shortly after Chef Mairinger competed against Michael
Simon and Jeffrey Zakarian on Food Networks popular show, Iron Chef America.
Other important stops of Chef Mairingers young and successful career include, Hotel Alex
(Zermatt, Switzerland), Ashdown Park Hotel (UK), Schloss Fuschl Resort and Spa (Austria),
Hotel Zuerserhof (Austria), Restaurant Neichel (Barcelona, Spain), Ristorante Da Gianni
(Mannheim, Germany), Restaurant Vendome (Cologne, Germany), Grande Sheraton
Sukhumvit (Bangkok, Thailand).
