Chef Igor has more than fifty years of experience in the kitchen – not including the years he spent learning the basics of cooking with his grandmother. He first ran his own restaurant at the age of 23 – Melbourne’s renowned Bullfrog – before going on to take the helm at Bellingen’s La Boheme French restaurant. His last venture, The Petit Snail in Byron Bay, won him an award for Best French Restaurant in NSW.

As a result, he is recognised for his refined French cooking and ability to deliver authentic, convivial cooking that is easily adapted to a client’s palate. With extensive travel history in North and West Africa, Chef Igor is also well-versed in cuisines from those regions. To Chef Igor, food is a story that brings people together and he is simply the narrator.
