After graduating HRC Culinary Academy, Alexandru Dumitru entered in 2014 the fascinating world of the Michelin starred restaurants. His first experience with a top rated kitchen was at Les Solistes – Waldorf Astoria, the Berlin based restaurant of Pierre Gagnaire, the iconoclastic 3 Michelin stars Chef that introduced the concept of fusion cuisine. In 2015, Alex moved to California to work in the 1 Michelin star kitchen of Chef Robert Curry, at Auberge du Soleil. California also offered him the opportunity of an internship at the famous 3 Michelin stars restaurant – Saison. The professional experience formed in Napa Valley, an area renowned for it’s wines and gastronomy, marked the culinary style of Alex, growing his interest for seasonality and local ingredients. His dishes are simple, yet sophisticated – traditional recipes are being reinvented through modern techniques and top quality ingredients.
