Get To Know Basque Cuisine

The Basque Country is situated in the southwest of Europe, lying between the Aturri River to the north and the Ebro River to the south. It is one of the oldest and strongest cultures in Europe, encompassing the region located in northern Spain on the Bay of Biscay. The area straddles the frontier between southern France and Spain. Culture and origins are distinct from those of the rest of Spain in many ways, which include the Spanish way of life.

Meet The Chef

Fernando Tabernero

With over 20 years in the culinary industry, Fernando Tabernero brings a wealth of experience to Makila Restaurant. His career has taken him across the globe, including stints in London, Germany, Malaysia, and China. He embraces new concepts, excelling in everything from steakhouses and fine dining to casual eateries. His cooking is uniquely influenced by Spanish cuisine and Asian flavors.

Fernando arrived in Cambodia three years ago, where he has immersed himself in the local culinary scene, tasting and researching local dishes and products. His extensive experience in both restaurants and hotels has taught him the importance of using the right cooking methods with the right ingredients. He is dedicated to sourcing the best products, emphasizing sustainability and supporting local farmers.

Fernando’s passion for cooking began at a young age, helping his mother prepare special meals. He cherishes the entire culinary process, from market to kitchen to table, and has learned traditional techniques passed down through his family.

A pivotal moment in Fernando’s career was meeting his mentor, Martin Berasategui, in Lasarte, Basque Country. Martin, the owner of a three-star Michelin restaurant, inspired Fernando to elevate his culinary skills to the next level.

At Makila, Chef Fernando is committed to bringing you exceptional dishes crafted with passion and expertise.
