NEW CHALLENGE FOR CHEF CRISTIAN LISCI, FOUR SEASONS CAIRO

“Cooking has been a part of my life for the last 25 years. Like art, cooking provides me with a blank canvas to draw on and gain inspiration from,” said Chef Cristian Lisci. Speaking ahead of his new adventure at Bullona Cairo, he also highlighted the importance of all things nautical, saying, “I was born on an island and grew up in a port city, therefore I’m a lover of the sea and all its mysteries.” Chef Cristian brings more than 25 years of culinary experience to his new role as head chef at the restaurant, which is located in Four Seasons Hotel Cairo Nile Plaza. By the age of 14, already aware that his purpose in life was to become a chef, he moved to Genova to embark on his studies at Hotelier Institute ‘Marco Polo’. Aged just 19, he achieved the impressive feat of becoming sous chef at Michelin Star restaurant Edilio in Genoa, after which he gained the position of Chef de Cuisine at

Il Mirtillo restaurant, Megeve, voted best Italian Restaurant in France in 2000 by the Pudlo Guide. In 2015, the opportunity came along for Chef Christian to move to the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay’s Vento Restaurant as Italian sous chef, marking the launch of his career at the Four Seasons Hotels. In 2018, he embarked on the next chapter of his journey with the Four Seasons Hotels by joining the Cairo branch of Nile Plaza, taking the reins at Bella. With the launch of Bullona Cairo, Chef Cristian will be overseeing the culinary operations at the restaurant, working alongside master artisans to create an exquisite menu, while maintaining the traditional style and flavors of the venue. Chef Cristian’s culinary heritage, based on fish, seafood, pasta, fresh herbs and vegetables, is set to make him a perfect match for Bullona Cairo.
