Born in the Austrian Alps region of Tyrol, directly across Alto Adige in Italy, Chef Albrich was raised in an area where the number one industry is tourism – in other words food and lodging. He grew up around his parents’ bed & breakfast, campground and restaurant, and ended up becoming a chef.
After attending a prestigious hotel & restaurant school, he trained with first class chefs at the Hotel Maria Theresa in Innsbruck. He also trained in a luxurious cruise ship that sailed the Mediterranean, back when sailing was for the privileged.
After moving to the United States in the late 80’s, Chef Albrich spent a few months in Salt Lake City, then settled in South Florida where he opened and was owner/chef of several restaurants including Pasha (steak house), Amici (Italian) and Bubbles Cafe & Sushi Bar, all in the Miami Beach area.
Chef Albrich combines the freshest, local ingredients he finds to create incredible combinations that feast your eyes as well as your taste buds. He is experienced in many traditional cuisines but it’s his fusion of Asian, European & American cuisines that creates the best combinations. His Tyrolean background strongly influences his superb wild game dishes.
After selling his last restaurant, Bubbles Cafe & Sushi Bar, Chef Albrich took a position as Private Chef for a South Florida family on Indian Creek Island, Miami Beach. Planning constant dinner parties, he has delighted and impressed clients and their distinguished guests with his culinary skills and artistic presentations. With no restrictions on his creativity, and often an unlimited budget, Chef Albrich prepared an innovative, modern cuisine for his affluent clients and was simply unbeatable with sauces.
From early 2007 to late 2025, Chef Albrich and his wife Jill ran a small B&B located on a mountain-top in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. What they thought would be a 5-year run ended up being 19 seasons, and if it wasn’t for the harsh winters, they would still be there. He also worked, and still works as a Private Chef in and around the areas of Linville, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Boone & Blowing Rock.
An authentic taste of the Tyrolean Alps. Chef Albrich grew up in a region whose autumn “Wild Game Weeks”—known locally as Wildwochen—remain one of its yearly most anticipated traditions.
