GINA POPA

The PASTRY CHEF of the French Restaurant CANTA CUISINE, at Cantacuzino Castle, Bușteni

After 36 years dedicated to the culinary confectionery production, GINA POPA is today highly entitled to share with us her personal culinary conviction: “The only limitation is the imagination“.

After working in different high-end confectioneries of well-known restaurants, Gina garnered the most beautiful and representative experience during her time at the 3 Michelin stars Hotel & Restaurant “Traube – Tonbach”, Baiersbronn, Germany. Here, her time spent alongside Harald Wohlfahrt had a tremendous impact over her professional life, culminating with her formation as a complete, highest standards Confectioner.

Harald Wohlfart is one of the best-known Chefs in Germany and was awarded with three Michelin stars for 25 times (!) in a row – being the only one in Germany – during his time as head of “Traube – Tonbach”. Furthermore, he was also repeatedly considered as being “the No. 1” among all 3-Star Chefs in Germany.
