Chef Mussie, known for his "passion, calm demeanor, and kindness," leaves behind a legacy that touched many in the culinary world. Originally from Eritrea and raised in Sweden, Imnetu had an illustrious career that spanned top kitchens across the globe.

His tragic death following a serious assault in London has left a void in our community. Mussie was a pillar of passion and excellence, leading our team with a calm and kind spirit."

Imnetu was not just a chef but a mentor and friend to many. He joined The Arts Club London in 2011 and played a pivotal role in launching the Dubai location in 2020.
