Dinner in the Sky® Riga 2025
Kristaps Sīlis
“No one is born a great cook, you learn by doing. Becoming a chef is a day-by-day process of working hard, spending long hours in the kitchen and developing your skills. It takes a lot of perseverance and a desire to get better every day. I have been part of this journey. I try to create something new based on myself, my impressions, my tastes and my experiences, so that the food reflects who I am and who I am as a person.”
Story
JOHN CHEF'S HALL RESTAURANT
JOHN Chef’s Hall
offers more than just great food – it’s an experience that shows guests the true value of the best Latvian products. Based on the professionalism, experience and unique culinary vision of Chef Kristaps Silišs and his team, each carefully selected ingredient is highlighted on the tasting menu, transforming it into unique and unforgettable flavours.
Kristaps Silis grew up in the countryside, where his culinary journey began without a specific plan, open to new possibilities. After leaving school, his path took him to the capital, where his true gastronomic development began. At the age of 21, he became a chef, which became the basis for his long quest for perfection and innovation.
By learning through experimentation, trial and error, Kristaps has gained a deep understanding of the world of cuisine – from the preparation of ingredients to the creative process of creating each dish.
Kristaps Silis has interned in several Michelin-starred restaurants, gaining valuable experience and inspiration.
Step by step, he moved closer to his ultimate goal and last year opened JOHN Chef’s Hall, a restaurant that reflects his taste, vision and passion. Here he has the freedom to create and share what he truly believes in, offering guests a dining experience that embodies his passion and essence.
“I try to create something new based on myself, my impressions, tastes and experiences, so that the food reflects my personality and character. Every day I try to make the food look great, taste even better and create a real treat.”
