Executive Chef Helton DaSilva
Barcelona Wine Bar Inman Park
Helton DaSilva was born in southern Brazil where he spent time during much of his childhood at family owned farms, learning the crafts of meat curing, cheese making, and simple cooking. Little did he know that this “farm to table” mentality would be the foundation for his future career. DaSilva moved to the U.S. when he was a teenager. Day after day, the attempts at many different professions proved to be unfulfilling, until he realized that cooking brought him joy. This epiphany led him to enroll in and later graduate from the Lincoln Culinary Institute. During the tenure of his career, DaSilva was the Executive Chef for restaurants such as Hal’s Steakhouse and Marcel’s in Atlanta Georgia. DaSilva began his time at Barcelona Wine Bar through an internship required for school. He now helms the kitchen of the Barcelona Wine Bar in Inman Park as Executive Chef. He brings creativity, passion and modern perspectives to design fresh-flavored menus featuring seasonal, local ingredients.
