Radu Ionescu
Chef Radu Ionescu-Feher was born in 1991 in Bucharest, Romania into a family that has always been his cornerstone through life, shaping his vision, his work ethics and distinct mentality along the way. Radu’s career in the culinary underbelly started back in 2015 in London. After his undergraduate studies in Global Business Management at Regent’s University and a Masters Degree in Marketing Communications at Westminster University, his business path has shifted to cooking and the world of gastronomy. He became a certified Chef by graduating from Le Cordon Bleu with a Grand Diplôme de Cuisine et Pâtisserie, followed by a Diploma in Culinary Management, becoming an Alumni of this iconic culinary institute. The young Chef has worked in London in small neighborhood restaurants, 5 star hotels before ending up in the kitchen of the notorious Ollie Dabbous, one of Britain’s most iconic and popular Chefs in his 1 Michelin Star establishment in Fitzrovia. From there, the dream which is now known as “Κaiamo” has been taking shape on paper and then built from dust to gold since September 2018 up until today.
“As any kid that steps into a kitchen the first time, was wishing for the stars and dreaming about achievements and the history in the process''
Kaiamo
BucharestShaking up Bucharest’s dining scene is Kaiamo, a youthful gem near Herãstrãu Park. To step within is to enter a world of contrast: traditional/modern, familiar/surprising, neon/neutral, understated/over-the-top. Chef Radu Ionescu spent seven years in London, working at the likes of Dabbous, and it shows. His goal: to flaunt the edible riches of the region, through high-end incarnations of classic, internationally influenced recipes. Swerving mediocrity, an exciting new menu is rolled out every quarter. Playful dishes, or ‘icons’ as they’re called here, might include rosy sausage and mash, edible stones from the Luncavăț river or duck with popcorn and elderflower. Presentation is up there with the best.
