LANGTRY’S IN KNIGHTSBRIDGE APPOINTS NEW HEAD CHEF

Langtry’s Restaurant in Knightsbridge has appointed Oliver Lesnik as the new Head Chef.

Oliver has a wealth of experience having worked at the Connaught Hotel for seven years. Six of these years were under Dr Michael Bourdin, with the latter year as Chef de Partie during the opening of MENU at the Connaught under Angela Hartnett.

Following the Connaught Hotel, Oliver became a Junior Sous Chef at Auberge du Lac under Jean-Christophe Novelli, before joining White's as a Senior Sous.

Oliver has also gained experience in other top London restaurants, such as Petrus, Gordon Ramsay at Hospital Road, and Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's.

Cooking has been in Oliver's blood from an early age as his renowned father, Mario Lesnik, was the Maitre Chef de Cuisine at Claridge's for eleven years, before becoming the Executive Chef at Harrods.

At Langtry's, Oliver is responsible for a kitchen brigade of 12 staff. His menu will offer modern British dishes in this elegant and sophisticated dining room.
