The Staff Canteen

TSC Member of the Year 2021 Burim Asllanaj is Head Chef at The London Cabaret Club, Holborn, London.

Burim was born and raised in Kosovo and has been cooking professionally since the age of 16. 

His favourite food to cook is French classic cuisine, in particular one post dishes with lots of flavoured dark, rich

sauces, like Beef Bourguignons or Coq Au Vin.

Looking to the future, Burim wants to keep challenging himself, with the dream of owning a restaurant either in the countryside or by the sea.
