Álmos Galeotti
Connecting Cultures Through Cuisine
Educational & Project Manager bridging Michelin-starred kitchen experience with culinary education and restaurant entrepreneurship in Budapest.
Leading international projects and developing innovative dining concepts at the intersection of education, gastronomy, and contemporary hospitality.
Hey, I'm Álmos 👋 — Following passion over convention, I found where Culture, Education, and Gastronomy converge 🍽️ I started in arts management, spent years managing musicians and cultural events. Then in 2019, I realized gastronomy wasn't just a hobby—it was my professional mission. So I trained at ALMA, worked in Michelin 3-star kitchens, and returned to education—this time as Educational & Project Manager, leading international projects for luxury brands and building restaurant concepts across borders. Today, I'm the bridge between haute cuisine and hospitality education, between Italian tradition and international innovation, between the kitchen and the boardroom. 👇 Keep scrolling to see the journey

Some music is timeless - it just works. The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin understood something fundamental: great music doesn't need to be complicated, it needs to be honest. Raw energy, tight rhythm, and zero pretension. When I need to shift gears and find that drive—whether it's for a long project day or a marathon run—this is what gets me there. It's the soundtrack to momentum.
Running 🏃
Running taught me what hospitality management never could: how to keep pace when the finish line is miles away. It's not about speed—it's about showing up, kilometer after kilometer, building continuity through consistency. So far: Budapest, Paris, Lisboa. Three marathons. Three cities. One lesson: the rhythm you build matters more than the records you break.

Whether you're developing a culinary concept, seeking educational partnerships, or exploring luxury hospitality projects—I'd love to hear from you.
