At just 23 years old, Gabriela Filca has bridged the distance between the deep-rooted soil of her Lika upbringing and the glittering heights of the culinary stars as the Chef De Cuisine of the MICHELIN-starred Nebo Restaurant & Lounge. Raised in the mountain village of Prokike with a "fanatical devotion" to the natural rhythms of the earth, she infuses the menu with an eco-responsible philosophy that transforms local, zero-waste ingredients into a sophisticated dialogue between Mediterranean heritage and modern technique.

As the hand-picked successor to her mentor, Deni Srdoč, and the recipient of the prestigious 2025 Young MICHELIN Chef Award, Gabriela leads a dynamic team to celebrate the bounty of the Adriatic through a lens of sustainability, proving that the most profound culinary innovations often begin with the integrity of the land.
