ABOUT THE CHEF

Chef Rafael Ubior Serrati, or Rafa, as everybody calls him, is a self-taught cook who began his culinary career in 2008 as an assistant cook in a catering company. He went on to work for one of the most iconic banquets restaurants, Restaurante Antonio, and was on the  opening team of the well-respected Santaella, in Santurce.  Always searching for more, in 2017 Rafa moves to Lima, Perú to start the most incredible and humbling experience of his life.  After staging with chefs Gastón Ocurio and Rafael Osterling in Peru, chef Rafa Ubior returned to his native Puerto Rico in 2019 to open Sur, a Nikkei spot in the heart of Santurce. Here, he fuses classic Japanese and Peruvian cuisines with locally sourced ingredients and a strong focus on sustainably sourced fish.
