Proud Potato Peeler

Born from a dream
and a potato — a story
of passion, travel,
and the love of bringing
people together.

When Alberto announced to his parents that he wanted to be a chef, his father sent him to peel potatoes at a friend's tavern. His goal was to discourage him. The result was Alberto proving to both himself and others that he was born to be a chef. And this is how Proud Potato Peeler was born — a brand that, rather than denouncing Alberto's origins, actually honours the moment that shaped him, the moment that affirmed his dream.

It is thanks to this dream that Alberto Simillides is a talented chef with a globe-trotting career through award-winning restaurants, which has taken him all the way from Cyprus, Athens, and Berlin to cosmopolitan Singapore.

Bigger Place, Biggest Passion

When someone is passionate about something, they always want to feed that passion through evolution. And what truly defines Proud Potato Peeler is his passion for providing dining experiences of furthering and broadening horizons; experiences of yet another level. The very steps which 14-year-old Alberto took when he found his calling have led him to his true destination.

This is where he delivers the promise that he has made to himself and his guests: that the food he prepares will always be a novel experience imbued in the same passion. Proud Potato Peeler takes the next step: relocating to a new, larger space, where guests can still enjoy communal dining, a shared experience in a welcoming environment, and where the chef himself cooks the dishes in plain sight. Although the canvas may have grown larger, accommodating all sorts of events, the ambience remains homey and intimate with the signature style of Proud Potato Peeler. Alberto is omnipresent, and his guests enjoy the same loving care as the food that he serves.

Dedicated to Bringing
People Together

The kitchen is Alberto's natural habitat. It is where he sets loose and creates whatever he has envisioned — any idea that has inspired him and any gustatory experience he wishes to give according his hands.

However, his extroverted personality craves companionship, sharing, and connection. Alberto's cooking is an act of giving, of bringing people closer to himself and others. The ambience he creates is reminiscent of a spontaneous family gathering, with the typical intimacy between people sharing a common, pleasant and impromptu experience.

That is because food has brought people together from the beginning of time, satisfying not just the basic need for survival, but also the need for connection.
