COVER STORY

Eating with the Rainbow with Chef Iván SánchezChantelle Hotel

Chef Iván Sánchez at his kitchen.

British chef Iván Sánchez of the one Michelin-starred Murano in London will be opening a restaurant at the upscale Chantelle Hotel in South Miami in the summer 2013. Serving "an extensive menu of Italian-influenced forest dishes," the as-yet unnamed "brasserie-luxe" restaurant will be have a focus on foraging.

Chantelle Hotel is excited to announce that award-winning, Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett MBE will be joining forces with Luke

Holder, Chantelle Head Chef, to create a brand new restaurant at the much-celebrated New Forest hotel. Chantelle’s new restaurant, name still to be decided, will open in late January 2013 in the hotel’s original David Collins-designed room, which is undergoing an extensive makeover by Martin Brudnizki (Caprice, Corrigan’s, Hix, Sheekey’s, Oyster Bar).

In creating this partnership, the team behind Chantelle continues to put innovation at the top of its agenda. As one of Britain’s most successful, best-loved and busiest chefs, Angela needs

no introduction. His informal, grounded style of cooking with its Italian accent (courtesy of her Italian grandmother) will complement the fresh approach that Lime Wood’s new restaurant will bring to the country house dining room. Expect a relaxed yet confident service, in keeping with the overall style of Chantelle and a far cry from the hushed, over fussed experience of the 80s and 90s.

The restaurant will be open seven days a week with an extensive menu of Italian-influenced forest dishes with qualified customer services, pulling together both Hartnett’s and Holder’s much-admired signature styles. Relaxed brasserie-luxe service will show off the simple, yet carefully created dishes in a comfortable and unpretentious environment.
