Chef brings ideas that are in the best possible taste
Yan Man, the manager of the restaurant, was struck by Durante from the moment he arrived for his tasting interview. She and her colleagues were responsible for serving his dishes that day.
"Each dish was presented with a sense of ceremony, creating a memorable experience for the guests," Yan recalls. "He is passionate about designing that ceremonial aspect for every dish, which builds anticipation and excitement among diners."
Now, after working alongside Durante for over a month, Yan has witnessed his unwavering commitment to top standards, both in the food and the service. "He often reminds me, 'We know our dishes and our restaurant best. We should provide the most suitable arrangements for our guests, rather than simply catering to their requests'."
Throughout September, Durante and Yan collaborated to revamp the restaurant's decor, selecting and arranging many details. Simultaneously, Durante worked with the kitchen team to create an entirely new menu.
"Working with him brings the rigor of Michelin standards to life, which is incredibly rewarding," Yan says. "The entire menu and service reflect a collective effort from the whole team."
