Svetlin Chernev
Executive chef
With a quarter-century of experience in the culinary profession, I have endeavoured on a consistent basis to develop personally in this culinary realm.
Over the course of my career, I have amassed an extensive repertoire of work experience at a variety of establishments that specialise in Mediterranean, European, and national gastronomy. Significantly, I have been honoured to provide service at renowned restaurants situated in Sofia, including establishments that are widely acknowledged for their outstanding gastronomy.
The aforementioned prestigious establishments encompassed a three-year commitment to the Villa Marciana restaurant, a four-year tenure as the chef at Satori, and a specialised position held at the St Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort. Additionally, I have spent considerable time as a chef aboard several luxury cruise ships.
In recent years, I have been employed as the executive chef of El Kapan and more recently Monkey’s on the waterfront.
