Bojan Lacmanović Magi

Executive Chef of the Prime restaurant

As a boy, he dreamed of a career as a famous football player, Magi enrolled in a cooking school, and then he got acquainted with this job. Cooking first showed him that every beginning is difficult, and then a creative and crazy job opened up in front of him that he wouldn’t trade for anything in the world today.

He gained experience throughout the domestic and international world of restaurants, which will form his culinary philosophy. He got to know the tradition in good old Belgrade cuisine (Dušanov grad, Vojvodina), new trends in Diners restaurants, Tribeka. As an already formed boss, he gave his creative stamp to brands such as Jerry in Belgrade or Hotel Gray on Kopaonik.

He believes that a great chef must have a streak of madness in him. The one who follows the known paths will always remain within the framework of the standard. The kitchen master is looking for a challenge and that’s why he pushes the boundaries.

He says there is something that unites restaurant guests all over the world. It is the love of food. French, Chinese, Libyan or our cuisine are very different, but each of them is driven by the same need for a gourmet experience.

Today, it summarizes its philosophy in 3 important postulates: quality, simplicity, local touch. It brings exactly that to the Prime restaurant. They believe in traditional home cooking, but raised to a higher level, dressed in modern packaging.

He follows the changes, he says that even the chef changes from day to day. He constantly learns anew and tries new things, and is inspired by his guests – those who follow his work and want to get something new, as well as those who will just get to know Prime’s cuisine and then remain loyal to it.
