CHEF ERAN GEFFEN

Born and raised in Jerusalem, Eran was exposed to the diversity of the Mediterranean cuisine. The sights and smells of the international city intrigued him at an early age and drew him in to explore and experiment with the plethora of flavors. For Eran, food isn’t merely a passion but a language, a way to express life.

Eran began his career at Arcadia, one of the most creative and prestigious chef restaurants in Israel. His passion to explore new cuisines, learn cutting edge techniques and experience new cultures, drew him to relocate to Barcelona, Spain, where he worked at Enoteca a two Michelin star restaurant. Returning to Israel, Eran spearheaded the creation of an up and coming Asian-fusion restaurant, RYU. As Head Chef he was able to implement his culinary vision and create the unique palette that drew in the crowds.

Eran was known in Jerusalem for his distinct Israeli Fusion style utilizing fresh and local ingredients, and was recruited by the finest hotels in the country. Eran spent several years as executive sous chef at King David a 5-star Deluxe Hotel in Jerusalem and later as Executive Chef in Dan Carmel Haifa, also a 5-star Deluxe Hotel.
