Piero Silvani 9–13 June 2026
Piero Silvani is Finland’s Chef of the Year 2025 and Culinary Lead at Bistro Ego. He has built his career over nearly 16 years, from Michelin-starred restaurants in Helsinki and Stockholm to large-scale catering events. Piero’s passion is to create a truly memorable dining experience, where even the smallest details are carefully considered.
His culinary philosophy combines classic and modern cuisine with a strong focus on high-quality ingredients. At Bistro Ego, this is reflected, for example, in the fusion of French bistro classics with Japanese flavours.
According to Piero, the restaurant industry is the best and most inspiring field in the world. His mission is to encourage Finns to leave their homes, dine out more often, and increase appreciation for the restaurant industry across the country.
