S.Pellegrino Young Chef Award

Now in its third edition, S.Pellegrino Young Chef Award is an opportunity for rising culinary talent to demonstrate and strengthen their skills.

Each young chef’s application and signature dish was evaluated by experts at the World’s Leading International Educational and Training Centre for Italian Cuisine, ALMA, in charge of the local finalist selection. ALMA’s experts evaluated the applications in adherence to the five “Golden Rules”: ingredients, skill, genius, beauty and message.

Aditya Kumar Jha from Tamba Abu Dhabi, Mario Christianto from The Exchange Grill Restaurant in Dubai and Nigel Lobo at The Eloquent Elephant in Dubai are among the top 10 MEA semi-finalists set to compete at a local challenge that will take place in Dubai this year. They have been selected from thousands of applications submitted by young chefs from over 90 different countries, all of them looking for their chance to be part of S.Pellegrino’s global talent search for the world’s best young chef.
