Born in April 1993 in Lower Austria, Stefan Doubek grew up in a family with a rich culinary tradition. From an early age, he discovered his love for cooking and attended one of the most prestigious culinary schools. At just 18, he became the youngest GMC in Austria, launching a remarkable career in Vienna. During this time, he met his partner Nora Pein, and together they earned two Michelin stars and five toques in leadership positions. To broaden his horizons, Stefan gained valuable experience with some of the most renowned chefs in Belgium, Denmark, and London. The pandemic forced him to return to Austria, where he quickly attracted attention with the Fish Bar at the Naschmarkt. His desire for a place where he could pursue his own vision of dishes, guest experiences, and quality grew stronger. In 2023, the couple fulfilled their dream by opening Restaurant DOUBEK in the vibrant 8th district of Vienna, specifically in Kochgasse. Within months, he ranked among the top 10 chefs in Austria and was honored as Newcomer of the Year.
