Michal Kordoš

Michal Kordoš is a renowned Slovak chef who has gained international recognition for his culinary skills. Starting his career at a young age, he became the first Slovak to intern at the prestigious Michelin-starred restaurant Noma at just 18 years old. Kordoš has worked in Michelin-rated establishments and even cooked for notable figures such as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Dutch royal family. He is an advocate for the improvement of Slovakia's gastronomic scene and believes that while the Michelin guide can boost tourism and local produce, it may not fundamentally change the quality of Slovak cuisine. Kordoš emphasizes the need for a cultural shift in how Slovaks value food and dining experiences.
