Romy Prasad, Executive Chef

Chef Romy Prasad is one of the most respected chefs in British Columbia. Growing up in Guyana, Romy Prasad's early appreciation of fine food was nurtured by his mother's passion for grinding spices by hand and preparing the family meals on a wood-fired stove.

His work background includes an extensive working tour (stages) of Europe that took him to the stoves of several Michelin-starred kitchens in France, Spain, and Italy including Pierre Gagnaire in St. Etienne, Arzak in San Sebastian, and Al Cantuccio in Arona. At Il Naturlista in Vicenza, Prasad studied the serious intricacies of vegetarian fine dining. He later joined the well known Umberto Menghi group of restaurants before accepting the Executive Chef position at CinCin Ristorante in Vancouver. Read more...
