Chef de cuisine, Ossiano, Atlantis, The Palm
Berger’s many achievements are all the more impressive when you consider his age. The 30-year-old chef, who oversees acclaimed seafood restaurant Ossiano at Atlantis, The Palm, saw off stiff competition to win the chance to be one of 20 chefs from around the world competing in the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Awards 2016 finals (representing Africa & the Middle East region) and he was also crowned Young Hotelier of the Year at the Hotelier Middle East Awards 2016. Under his leadership, Ossiano has continued to win awards, including with sister title Time Out Dubai, which has recognised the restaurant for four consecutive years; previously a hotel restaurant hasn’t achieved a Time Out Restaurant Award more than twice. Prior to joining Atlantis, The Palm, Berger had roles as chef de cuisine of Reign in DIFC, La Grande Cascade in Paris, Club 20-1 in Casablanca, Le Bistro de Paris in Florida, and various other culinary roles in France. He is a graduate of CFA, in Vannes, Brittany, a prestigious culinary institute and the founder of The French Chefs of Dubai.
