Jorge was born in Colombia, in a small town nestled in the heart of the Colombian coffee mountains. From a young age, with a bag full of dreams and a passion for cooking, he made his way to Europe. His culinary journey began in the south of Spain, where he gained valuable experience, learned about different cultures, and discovered what people truly enjoy when it comes to food.

Over the years, Jorge has worked in kitchens all over the world, from multinational companies and luxury cruise ships to prestigious resorts and Michelin-starred restaurants. These experiences helped him perfect his craft and deepen his love for food, while also learning new techniques and embracing global culinary trends.

When Jorge arrived in Iceland, he was a bit surprised to see horse meat on the menus. But after a little hesitation, he decided to give it a try—and to his surprise, it was absolutely delicious. He now believes that Iceland’s free-range lamb, the delicate fish from crystal-clear waters, and other local specialties are some of the best you’ll find anywhere in the world.

At Hygge Restaurant and Bar, we are fortunate to have a team of passionate and dedicated professionals who are committed to delivering excellent service and working with the finest Icelandic ingredients. Our goal is to make sure every guest has a memorable dining experience and leaves with a little piece of Iceland in their hearts.
