Matteo Ferrantino leaves Bianc: A culinary farewell in Hamburg!

In Hamburg's vibrant HafenCity, there will soon be a change in leadership at one of the city's most sought-after restaurants. Matteo Ferrantino, who has been running the renowned two-star restaurant Bianc since 2017, has decided to pack his bags at the end of the year. He announced this in an emotional Instagram post and newsletter. Ferrantino describes this step as one of the most difficult of his life, as he not only wants to take a short break, but also explore new culinary horizons. Whether he will return to Hamburg, Portugal or somewhere else remains uncertain. However, special planning is important to him - his guests can look forward to a new project once he is ready to get back into the restaurant business.

With Ferrantino's departure, Marvin Böhm, an experienced chef who previously worked as sous chef at the three-star Aqua restaurant in Wolfsburg, will take over the kitchen management of Bianc. Böhm, who was named Chef of the Year in 2022, brings a lot of experience and a breath of fresh air. Many are already looking forward to what new creations he will present at Bianc.

A new chapter for the Bianc

The Bianc restaurant will continue to be open to its lovers in 2026. This commitment shows the stability of the restaurant, even in times of change. In the Hamburg gastronomy scene it is always clear how important it is to promote fresh talent and offer guests an unforgettable experience. The award of two Michelin stars is not only a sign of quality, but also represents a high standard for the kitchen crew, who will continue to meet the high expectations of the guests in the future.

For Ferrantino, this period will not only be a break, but also an opportunity to develop his creative potential and gather new inspiration. The restaurant industry is a dynamic environment, and so he uses the time to develop innovative ideas that will define his next step.

The movements in the gastronomy scene are always exciting, and every change creates new stories that want to be told. We are excited to see where Ferrantino's culinary path will lead and what culinary masterpieces Marvin Böhm will create at Bianc. Stay tuned for more news about these significant developments in the heart of Hamburg.
