Sesflo appoints Eugenio Da Silveira as its director

There’s a lot going on at the restaurant Le Sesflo. This bright brasserie, located at the beginning of Route de Florissant, welcomes Eugenio Da Silveira, who is taking over for Mathilde Lefebvre, now in charge of operations for the Maniatis Group’s restaurants.

Michelin-Starred Cuisine

After spending time in Lyon before flying to Australia—where he worked, among other places, at the Palazzo Versace—Eugenio Da Silveira returned to Geneva in 2017. He then spent several years at Sergueï Smalkin’s restaurants, notably as the director of Mimo, before joining Arakel. It was there that he discovered the world of Michelin-starred cuisine and worked for two years alongside Simon. Their professional partnership continues today, as the two men have reunited at Sesflo—this time with Simon in the kitchen and Eugenio at the helm.

This arrival comes at just the right time for someone who was looking for “a fresh start” and who says he was immediately charmed by the place, its terrace, and its olive trees. He now has one goal: to build on Sesflo’s momentum and support the Maniatis Group’s growth.
