Peter Manifis

“Sea food and eat it!” would have to be Chef Peter Manifis’s mantra.

Pete’s love affair with seafood stems from his youth growing up in the North of Western Australia.

The son of a commercial prawn fisher Peter was “surrounded by an ocean of seafood” with his folks supplying their own fish and chip shop with the freshest of catch.

Pete’s training under renowned Chef Alain Faberge of the national award winning Loose Box fame was disciplined and thorough and put him in good stead to make a real name for himself as a skilled and well trained chef.

Pete went on to win a Gold Plate award for Best Seafood Restaurant at Perth’s Zafferano and his current position is Executive Chef at Incontro Restaurant on the banks of the Swan River in South Perth.

Incontro's focus is top quality seafood’s and meats and is arguably the best seafood restaurant in Perth.

Peter has cooked at events around the world, the latest being in May when he cooked for 30 of Hong Kong’s top chefs at the Great Wine Estates of Western Australia promotion at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong.

Along with Don Hancey Pete has represented and presented Australia’s finest seafood products at the European Seafood Expo in Brussels which attracts over 100,000 trade visitors.

Pete currently consults to a number of seafood companies focusing on marketing and promotional strategies.

Pete loves nothing better than being on stage sharing his passion and knowledge of “all things seafood”.
