Meet Executive Chef Chantel!
Chantel is from South Africa and previously lived and worked in the USA, France, Qatar and the UAE. With over a decade of experience in the culinary world, Chantel brings with her global influences from her international travels.
Chantel’s culinary repertoire flourished during her formative years at the Ritz Carlton in Florida, working with an acclaimed former White House chef, where she developed and refined her culinary techniques.
She then proceeded to Europe gaining additional experience, when her travels led her to the flavours of the Middle East; spending seven years in the UAE and Qatar as head chef at Jones the Grocer and Roux. Chantel loves to experiment with international cuisines, whilst delivering them in a healthy, signature style, without comprising taste.
Working with local farms and international suppliers, Oak is flourishing under Chantel’s guardianship.
