Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, Lambert knew from a young age that he wanted to be a chef. After applying for his first job at age 11 (the chef told him to come back when he was of age), Matt first found himself in a kitchen at 14, washing dishes and getting to know the industry that became his life.

At 16, he was granted an apprenticeship with New Zealand restaurateur Garry Bates, an experience which led to his acceptance into the Culinary Program at Auckland University of Technology. In 1999, Lambert relocated to Wellington, New Zealand, where he worked in various restaurants whilst completing his degree at Whitireia Community Polytechnic.

Soon after, he started travelling through Europe and first landed in Spain: Arzak was his first contact with Spanish cuisine, followed by Blumenthal’s elaborated cooking at The Fat Duck outside London, England.

Co-founder of Michelin-accoladed La Bottega in Geneva that he left after two years in order to open the sum of all the culinary knowledge gathered through a decade’s work on three continents, at Amelia Restaurant in San Sebastián.
