Latin flavours are finding a place in Perth, and Chef Luis Vergara is helping lead the way. Raised in South America and trained internationally, Luis brings a distinctive perspective to every dish.

“My father was born in Spain and my grandmother in Italy, and they always cooked from scratch,” says Luis. “My grandmother gave me the foundation for my love of cooking and the skills I still draw on every day. Cooking from scratch remains at the heart of everything I do.”

Luis graduated from the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu (Académie d’Art Culinaire, Perú). He has also worked as head chef at White Salt Restaurant at Sorrento Beach and Public House Kitchen and Bar in Perth’s CBD.
