Hey there,
I'm Anton Abrezov
Chef, Restaurateur and Consultant
with 14 years of global experience
I studied in Paris and New York, trained in Michelin-starred kitchens, hold a degree in economics and marketing, was twice named “Chef of the Year” by TimeOut and opened 3 of my own restaurants in two countries.

I think like an entrepreneur – not just a chef.
What I do & When to Reach Out?
For over 14 years, I’ve been helping restaurateurs launch successful projects and solve problems in existing businesses.
  • Opening a new restaurant?
    50% of restaurants close in the first 3 years because of the wrong concept and unstable systems. I launch restaurants that run smoothly — from concept development to consistent performance and loyal guests.
  • Thinking about refreshing your menu?
    Chefs often miscalculate food costs or can’t create new dishes, which leads to losses. I design unique, profitable menus that are easy for staff to execute and that turn guests into regulars.
  • Struggling with performance?
    When a restaurant runs inconsistently, guests wait too long and reviews go negative. I solve these issues fast — optimizing processes, cutting waste, and making your team efficient.
My services
You’ll get my personal attention on each project: a bespoke offer that fits your objectives and budget.
  • Concept Development
    I analyse your location, target audience, competitive landscape, and financial goals to design a restaurant concept with a clear positioning and strong economic foundation.

  • Personal Advisory
    Work with me directly as your personal launch advisor. You get expert support, structured strategy sessions, clear action plans, performance diagnostics, and direct access to my experience
  • End-to-End Kitchen Setup
    You’ll get a fully ready-to-run kitchen: design and layout, team training, and a modern, cost-optimized menu – all built to match your long-term goals, with ongoing support to ensure everything works smoothly
Portfolio
Throughout my career, I’ve created hundreds of dishes for more than 30 restaurant projects in a wide range of styles – from brunches and fast casual concepts to fine dining tasting menus.
