Djordjo Cetkovic is a Serbian gastronomy consultant based in Singapore.
His cooking is grounded in the generosity of Balkan and Mediterranean tables, sharpened by more than two decades of international restaurant experience. His career has moved through Serbia, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal and Singapore — each place adding technique, discipline and a deeper understanding of hospitality.
As an Executive Chef and independent Restaurant & F&B Consultant, he leads with clarity: strong flavours, honest ingredients, disciplined execution and kitchen cultures where standards are understood, not merely announced.
Singapore is also home. Married to Singaporean Masziana Ali Cetkovic, a former Singapore Police Force officer with 15 years of dedicated service, Djordjo’s life connects Serbia and Singapore on a deeply personal level. Through food, professional exchange and community relationships, he works to strengthen understanding between the two countries and to represent Serbia with dignity, openness and pride.
His ambassadorial message reaches beyond cuisine: Serbia is a country of culture, education and remarkable historical depth. The Vinča culture, one of Southeast Europe’s most important prehistoric civilisations, flourished millennia before the Egyptian pyramids. By sharing this wider story, Djordjo aims to replace outdated stereotypes with curiosity, respect and genuine connection.
“A memorable restaurant is built when identity, people and discipline move in the same direction.”
