Intercontinental Bali Resort Proud to Present Internationally-Acclaimed, Michelin Star Chef Fabio Ciervo in a Series Of Exclusive Events

February 13, 2015 - InterContinental Bali Resort is proud to present the celebrated Italian Chef, Fabio Ciervo. Executive Chef of the Michelin starred La Terrazza Restaurant at the Hotel Eden in Rome.

Fabio studied and practised at one of the world's leading Haute Cuisine institutions –Ecole Lenôtre, French school of gastronomy, and then further enhanced his knowledge and experience in some of the world's most prestigious restaurants. These have included the Grosvenor House Restaurant at the Grosvenor Hotel in London, the two-star Michelin Cracco in Milan, Chez Nico in Innsbruck, and at Martin Berastegui's three-Star Michelin Restaurant in the Spanish city of San Sebastian. This brilliant young chef then perfected his trade in the UK as Michel Roux's Sous Chef at the Waterside Inn in Bray, which is famous for achieving three stars in the Michelin Guide for 25 straight years. Chef Fabio's philosophy is to explore the world of Haute Cuisine to create dishes that combine ingredients in an unusual but harmonious way, while also seeking inspiration from all cultures. Early on, in his native Italy, he learned the virtues of Italian food. From the Orient, he learned how to pay special attention to the choice of spices and the importance of delicate cooking, and France taught him the art of making wonderful sauces. He then explored futuristic developments in Haute Cuisine, and now this passionate professional combines all this into the unique blend of gastronomy that has become his signature.
