New head chef appointed at Ormer Mayfair

Sofian Msetfi, executive chef of Ormer Mayfair by Sofian, has promoted Kyle Lynch to head chef at his Michelin-starred, four AA Rosette restaurant at the luxury hotel, Flemings Mayfair. 

Lynch brings more than a decade of industry experience to the role. After several chef internships in the US, including Massachusetts and Florida, Lynch's gastronomic journey progressed to Ireland. There, he met Msetfi, working with him at Adare Manor's Michelin-starred Oak Room for three years. In 2020, he joined starred Japanese restaurant, Ichigo Ichie in Cork, before returning to work with Msetfi as sous chef at Ormer Mayfair in 2021. 

Leading Ormer's kitchen

As head chef, Lynch is responsible for the development and implementation of the restaurant's seasonally led British tasting menus, as well as the day-to-day running of the kitchen. 

"I'm delighted to step up in this new role and oversee the talented kitchen team at the restaurant while continuing to learn and be inspired by Sofian, who is a great talent," says Lynch. "I look forward to continuing to provide exciting and creative culinary experiences for our diners."
