Born and raised here in Lebanon, Chef Mojo (Joe Akel) didn’t take a moments break after finishing his bachelor’s degree in Hotel management, before pursuing his sushi career. Rooting from his childhood passion to warm people’s heart and feed them with his humbleness, or as the Lebanese would say, “Men 2ido”, he performs and serves his meals to you with precision and delicacy. Starting out as a Sushi Chef, Mojo directed his career to become his true act of heart, a piece of art. No longer limited by only the satisfaction of a meal, Chef Mojo gives you the opportunity to be part of a performance, with live cooking shows and a masterpiece that your involvement and spirit are equally needed to achieve perfection!After working as a Sushi Chef in various restaurants, Chef Mojo, now a carrier of several awards, including a Horeca prize winner in 2011, progressed into being a Creative Chef, Executive Chef and Kitchen Manager, in many more, working his way up to Head Sushi Chef in Salmontini Le Resto & Hotel De Ville. In 2014, Mojo travelled to enrich more hearts to cook in Luanda, Angola for 2 years. He is one of the few Lebanese Chefs to specialize in Japanese Cuisine, with more than 10 years of experience in this specialty.
