Benjamin Chmura, who graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in International Culinary Arts Management from Institut Lyfe, has built his career at leading establishments recognised by the Michelin Guide. In 2021, he joined Tantris Maison Culinaire, a leading institution of French gastronomy in Germany, and was tasked with completely rethinking the restaurant’s culinary offering. A few months after opening, the restaurant was awarded two Michelin stars for Tantris and one star for Tantris DNA: a fine recognition of the successful work achieved.
A look back at a career in which encounters and people have been at the heart of all his experiences and learning.
💬 ”Work placements played a huge role in my training. Thanks to Institut Lyfe, I had the opportunity to join prestigious establishments such as Guy Savoy and the Auberge de l’Ill. These are very demanding experiences, where you have to prove yourself quickly. Coming from a recognised school opens doors, but once you’re there, you have to show what you’re capable of. “
