About Chef Ryan
Food that brings people together.
I’m Ryan Padda, a Michelin-trained chef with a passion for creating food that brings people together.
My experience includes time in the kitchens at OMA, Smokestak, Agora and Manteca, shaping an approach built around exceptional ingredients, bold flavour and serious technique.
After years working in professional kitchens, I’ve taken that restaurant experience outside the restaurant — creating private dining where exceptional food, hospitality and atmosphere come together around your table.
My philosophy is simple: Great ingredients. Serious cooking. No unnecessary fuss.
