The favorites of Thomas Bocik, head sommelier at Mandarin Oriental.

Born into a family of restaurateurs, Tomas Bocik has always been immersed in his beloved world of gastronomy. After graduating from a hotel school in Slovakia, he and his family moved to Austria, where they ran a restaurant. As is often the case in good stories, it was love that brought him to Switzerland, and he has now been working in Geneva for 13 years. When he arrived, he started all over again, beginning with a few extras and ending up as sommelier at the Four Seasons Hôtel des Bergues.

It was during this experience that he had a second encounter with his heart, this time with sake! As rich as the world of wine, the world of sake is limitless. Tomas Bocik has discovered this and is happy to pass it on through the menu of the Sachi restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental. His position as head sommelier allows him to develop new and original pairings, such as the “cocktail – wine – sake pairing”, which should be ready for the end of October… Looking forward to autumn!
