Tibor Valincic

Seasonal Croatian cooking, led by technique

Chef Tibor Valinčić began cooking young and entered professional kitchens at 16, spending five years at Boškinec while adding internships across Europe. He later trained in restaurant management at the Intecci Academy in Italy, then brought that discipline and curiosity to Dubravkin Put in Zagreb. His cooking starts with seasonality and ingredient quality, sourced as locally as possible, often from markets and small suppliers. He also draws on the flavours of his family table in Bjelovar, using familiar dishes as a starting point for refined plates.

“In the kitchen, precision, care for the ingredients and team cohesion are paramount to me. With the right team, anything is possible.”
