About Chef Lisa Baladurage - Le Cordon Bleu London Alumna
Lisa Baladurage is the founder and creative force behind Sathutu, a contemporary Sri Lankan restaurant in Berlin. Raised between Sri Lanka and Germany, her cooking is deeply influenced by heritage, memory and cultural exchange. She graduated with the Grand Diplôme and Diploma in Culinary Management from Le Cordon Bleu London in 2019.
After her studies, Lisa worked in a fine dining Sri Lankan restaurant in London, where she refined her ability to translate traditional flavours into elevated, contemporary dishes. She later moved to Berlin and began hosting intimate supper clubs in her apartment, creating a loyal community and laying the foundation for her restaurant.
In 2021, she founded Sathutu, reinterpreting Sri Lanka’s rich culinary traditions through a modern, seasonal and ingredient-led approach. The kitchen pairs toasted spices, coconut, curry leaves, sambols and ferments with carefully sourced European produce. Sathutu has since become a creative platform for collaborations and pop-ups, while Lisa remains committed to fostering a respectful, empowering kitchen culture rooted in storytelling, innovation and community.
