The Chef

The Story

I'm a private chef with over 20 years of experience spanning private dining, catering, and international travel cooking for clients around the world. As owner and executive chef of Omars Kitchen & Rum Bar, and formerly Chez Omars French Bistro, I've built menus rooted in French technique, confit, braises, pan sauces, and pastry, while staying fluent in Mediterranean, Caribbean, Italian, Asian, and Greek flavors. My work has been featured on A&E, in the New York Times, and named among Eater New York's Top New Restaurants, and I've been invited to lecture at the Culinary Institute of America. Whether it's an intimate dinner or a large celebration, I adapt fully to your needs, sourcing thoughtfully and cooking with precision so every guest leaves the table talking about the meal.”
