At Mia Nha Trang, we believe that every dish tells a story—one of passion, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of excellence. It is with great pleasure that we welcome Executive Chef Ivan Tarrago Sole, a culinary virtuoso whose nearly 30-year journey has taken him across the globe, refining his skills in some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens.
Hailing from Spain, Chef Ivan is a master of Mediterranean cuisine, bringing with him the warmth and authenticity of Spanish, French, Italian, and Moroccan flavors. His culinary journey has also led him to explore and perfect Asian gastronomy, weaving together the bold, intricate flavors of Thai, Japanese, Indian, and Middle Eastern cuisine with finesse. His expertise extends even further to Nikkei, Peruvian, Mexican, and Pan-Asian influences, making him a true ambassador of global flavors.
Having led the kitchens of luxury hotels, fine dining establishments, and international culinary ventures, Chef Ivan has built a reputation for not only his artistry on the plate but also his ability to inspire and mentor teams, crafting unforgettable dining experiences that go beyond taste—they are journeys of the senses. His philosophy is deeply rooted in honoring local ingredients, embracing the seasons, and infusing traditional techniques with modern innovation.
“Cooking is more than creating a dish; it is about evoking emotions, telling stories, and connecting people through flavors. At Mia Nha Trang, my vision is to bring a sense of place to every plate, where each ingredient speaks of its origin, and every meal becomes a cherished memory.” — Chef Ivan Tarrago Sole
