Chef Martin Bergstrand’s culinary journey began in 1992 in Småland, Southern Sweden, igniting his passion at just 16 years old. He then took to Stockholm, where he co-founded the renowned restaurant, “Farang.” After an inspiring 8-month pilgrimage in India and Indonesia helping to launch a restaurant, Chef Martin returned to Stockholm and discovered his love for desserts, prompting rigorous pastry training over 18 months. In 2018, he ventured to London, honing his craft at Michelin-starred establishments, before the COVID-19 lockdown which led him back to Stockholm for a pit stop at restaurant Frantzén. Now, as Executive Sous Chef at the Michelin-starred Nordic fine-dining restaurant Villa Frantzén, the brainchild of former footballer and world-renowned Michelin-starred chef Björn Frantzén, Chef Martin continues to craft culinary excellence, blending his global adventures with a passion for creating unforgettable dining experiences.
