Matej vocation arose at a very early age, helping his mother and grandmother in the kitchen. One day he dared to make the dessert that his mother did not want to: an apple cake.
He studies to become a professional Chef and gained experience in various types of establishments. From cafes and bistros, to haute cuisine restaurants.
He takes his first steps in England where he settled from his native Slovakia and then lands in Barcelona at the end of 2016 where he works in two of the most renowned restaurants in the city, Alkimia* and Via Veneto*, both Michelin starred restaurants.
From his time at Alkimia*, he brought a gastronomic vision that extols, above all, the value of the product.
Matej prepares Mediterranean cuisine with local and seasonal products. He likes to experiment, looking for new flavours and textures, but in the end it's all in the ingredients, he says.
