Experience
20 years

Executive Chef at Swissôtel The Bosphorus since December 2021, responsible for every kitchen in the hotel — 16 Roof, Chalet, Gabbro Maçka and Madhu's among them. A Mengen graduate who cooked across the United States, Jordan, Egypt, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and India before returning to İstanbul, most recently as Head Chef at Fairmont Quasar. His menus move with the season rather than the calendar: seafood at 16 Roof, Alpine cooking at Chalet.

Food is a powerful thing. It brings different cultures and different nations to the same table.
