Chef John

I’m a 27-year-old chef and I’ve been cooking professionally since I was 17. Cooking is the only path I’ve chosen, and I’ve dedicated myself fully to improving my craft through real kitchen experience in Cres, Split, Zagreb, and Hvar.

I’m a cheerful and positive person, and I bring that energy into every service. I approach each meal with focus on the guest, the ingredients, and the small details that turn a dinner into a memorable experience—if my profile matches what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you.
