Executive Chef David Bazirgan
hightlightImages
David Bazirgan is known for his work on western shores, helming Fifth Floor and Dirty Habit in San Francisco. But his story begins on the East Coast, having studied French technique at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts. Returning in 2016 to Bambara, Chef Bazirgan’s menu reflects inventive, Mediterranean-influenced takes on classic bistro fare.   Learn More
Bar
