Chef Michael Kukula

I’m a Berlin-based chef with a background that spans professional kitchens, my own pop-up concept, and 15 years as an Art Director for global brands. That last part matters more than it sounds — it means I think about the full experience, not just what’s on the plate.

My kitchen experience includes Chef de Partie roles at Nomad Berlin and Criss Studio in Hamburg, a Polish-Jamaican fusion concept awarded Falstaff Discovery of the Year 2026. Outside of that, I run Likkle More, my own elevated Caribbean pop-up in Berlin, where I handle everything from menu development and sourcing to service and presentation.

I cook across a wide range: Caribbean, modern European, Indian, Mexican, Italian, French, and I’m most at home creating menus that feel personal and considered. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a larger gathering, I bring the same attention to detail I’d bring to any creative project: nothing left to chance.
