The story of our head chef Jib began in 2012, when, at the age of eighteen, he came to Prague to study business management. However, instead of textbooks, he soon discovered his passion in the kitchen. While working at an international restaurant during his studies, he became fully immersed in cooking. He was fascinated by how cultures, flavors, and the joy that food can bring all come together in the kitchen.
After a year and a half, he set off in search of new experiences in Italy — specifically to Sardinia, in the city of Olbia. He started from the bottom but worked his way up to the position of grill chef in a prestigious restaurant. It was there that he fell in love with Italian cuisine, fresh seafood, and the focus on seasonal ingredients.
After returning to the Czech Republic, he completed his studies and continued his culinary journey — this time in Malmö, Sweden, and later in Düsseldorf, Germany. Over several years, he gained extensive experience in various international restaurants, which allowed him to develop a unique style based on the contrast of flavors, vibrant colors, and a keen eye for detail.
Since 2016, he has been permanently back in the Czech Republic. He cooked at restaurants in Brno, Pardubice, and Plzeň, where he served as head chef. In 2025, he settled once again for fine dining in Brno. We are delighted to have him leading the team at Jazzmin, where he brings his passion for Italian and international cuisine straight to your table.
Today, Jib creates a culinary experience that connects the world — with an emphasis on seasonality, modern trends, bold flavors, and a distinctive dining experience. As he himself says: 'The greatest joy is seeing someone smile when they taste a dish I've prepared.'
