A Belgrade native, Stefan is a chef whose culinary instincts stem from his diverse experience not only in gastronomy and hospitality but also in art, sports, and adventure. As a former competitive rower, he developed a strong sense of focus, endurance, and precision - qualities that now define his approach to cooking. During his formative years living and working in Rome, Stefan immersed himself in Italian culinary culture, bolstering his professional training. This experience left a lasting influence on his cooking style centered on freshness, seasonality, and high-quality ingredients as the main pillars of Mediterranean cuisine. At Salon 1905, Stefan is committed to these same principles, interpreting Serbian culinary heritage through a contemporary lens, focusing on balance, depth and the natural character of each product.
