My approach

Minimal,
Local,
Flavorful

I am passionate, creative and hard-working chef who loves to cook modern dishes. I have got 10 years of a professional cooking experience and love to work in a small but busy kitchens that value the team work, creativity and presentation, where I will be able to fully utilize my talent and abilities.

During the years I've spent collecting experiences and skills in the kitchens around the world I got a chance to work with numerous Michelin star chefs and at Reykjavík's Michelin star restaurant Dill. That and working in the rich and beautiful nature of French mountains and Iceland's countryside formed my cooking style combining the classic French cuisine with the modern Nordic approach.
