Mercedes Noam Kostucki
I love to try new experiences, and create amazing adventures in which I can guide others.
In everything I am and do, I'm naturally drawn to bringing together things that normally are not supposed to fit with each other.
I have no formal culinary training and never worked in a restaurant before starting HiR Fine Dining. I have worn a lot of different hats, and my main professional background is in business coaching. My first call of fame was at the age of 23 for a TED talk about "selfishness is the best reason to cooperate".
I cook with the freshest produce I can find, and I create dinner based on seasons, my inspiration, and dietary restrictions. Each dinner is a full adventure for guests, and as well as for me.
If you make a reservation at HiR Fine Dining, you're invited to take a journey into my world, life and food. HiR Fine Dining is an intimate adventure.
If you are an adventurer and a foodie, I look forward to welcoming you to my culinary home.
