Meet the Chef Omar Armas
An Apicius graduate trained in Florence and owner of Mantou Gastropub in Ensenada, Baja California.
In the last 8 years he worked his way up from being a dishwasher at a pizzeria to becoming one of Mexico’s signature Chefs. After years of planning, sacrifice and hard work Omar opened his own restaurant in his hometown of Ensenada.
The name #Mantou means “Steamed Bun” in Mandarin and the concept is to use local market ingredients to make authentic recipes.
