Oleg Perfilov is a renowned chef and co-creator of Bergamot and the bistro Crevettes, a graduate of the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu Paris culinary school.
His resume includes internships and work at the three-star Pierre Garnier restaurant, a stint at the legendary Les Airelles hotel in Courchevel, the successful launch of projects in Rostov-on-Don, and kitchen management at The Repa, the official restaurant of the Mariinsky Theatre, as well as collaborations with global luxury brands Cartier and Veuve Clicquot.
The French school laid a solid foundation, and his extensive international experience has given him freedom of expression. His cuisine is a discreet blend of classic and Asian influences: the techniques and flavors of Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, and India are reimagined in a contemporary form.
The chef’s hallmark is artisanal precision and attention to detail: fermentation, extraction, oils, textures, and acid balance. Citrus is his signature theme, used in a wide variety of forms: from thin slices to dry extracts and essential oils.
Chef Oleg Perfilov personally selects suppliers, develops unique recipes, and oversees every aspect of presentation to ensure every detail is impeccable. He is convinced that fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced in flavor, are the foundation of a successful restaurant.
