The teams behind Hestia and Kalimotxo are excited to announce that the restaurants will be hosting Atli Mar Ynngvason of Katla and Halaigh Whelan McManus of Bar Amour from Oslo, Norway this month. The chefs will be at Kalimotxo on January 15th for a fun and casual a la carte menu and will be at Hestia on January 16th for a ticketed dinner. More details on the chefs and events below.

Atli Mar Yngvason has had amazing success with his new restaurant Katla in Oslo. The native Icelander has worked under famed chefs Eyvind Hellstrøm (Bagatell) and Even Ramsvik (Ylajali) before taking a full year of inspiration and traveling around Asia in 2009. He is known for his seamless use of Nordic ingredients mixed with flavors and techniques we know from Asia and Latin America.

Halaigh Whelan McManus worked at iconic Noma for years before being named one of Ireland’s next generation of star chefs. He brought his iconic cooking style to Maemo in Oslo where he led the kitchen and then later took lead of their Research and Development kitchen. Halaigh’s style is fun and beautiful with flavor being the driving force of each dish.
