www.lux-review.com Page 79 LUX 2020 Food & Drink Awards Chez Montier creates dishes that are deliciously sophisticated with an unexpected blending of international ingredients and flavour profiles. It could be a unique take on a classic, such as their Savoury Crab Cheesecake topped with Jumbo Lump Crab or, an homage to a Southern favourite, Dashi Devilled Eggs topped with House Smoked Salmon and Trout Caviar. Foods that are distinctive in their own right are brought together to create explosions of flavour that showcase exactly what Chez Montier brings to the world. This incredible cuisine is combined with event décor, dramatic floral design and lighting to create an ambience that is superior within the world of lux dining. For Executive Chef Juan Montier, each menu design begins with the desire for his food to enhance the spirit of the occasion, ensuring that memories last well beyond the event itself. Chef Juan believes it is critical to listen and understand his client’s vision before finally overlaying his holistic approach to creating a 360-degree luxury dining experience. He approaches each assignment as a partnership where the client becomes a key part of the Chez Montier family. Chef Juan was trained as an architect and interior designer, and his culinary style is a culmination of this background and how he views the world. The world of fine dining is a masterful art!

Oct20520 Chez Montier, Inc. Best Gourmet Catering & Event Decor Business - South Atlantic USA While other chefs may write out their menu ideas, Chef Juan chooses to both write his ideas and then sketch each dish and its presentation. The sketches of Chef Juan’s eclectic food bring an engaging and designed vision which his team then executes and brings to life on the plate. Chef Juan often presents a dossier of culinary sketches to clients as a special memento that is reflective of his own personal joy in sharing the gift of food. As any chef knows, the key to success lies in the ability to continuously innovate. He and his talented team challenge themselves to tantalise the taste buds and satisfy the senses with extraordinary meals. To ensure that Chez Montier remains vibrant in a competitive industry, Chef Juan and his team continue offering new menus and services and exciting new customers and markets with the Chez Montier brand. The world has been turned upside down by COVID-19 and the catering industry has certainly felt the effects across the world with many establishments being forced to close their doors. Chez Montier has chosen to innovate once again and find new ways to deliver its cuisine to more people. One of the newest offerings is an at-home service that affords customers the opportunity to design, one-on- one with Chef Juan, an interactive luxury dining experience that includes every detail required to make a special occasion extraordinary and memorable. Clients can have the opportunity to work directly with this talented chef as he develops the menu, designs plating sketches of each dish and provides recommendations for colour schemes and ambient lighting. The focus is very much on providing a bespoke gourmet experience where a client’s own dining room is transformed into a fine dining setting. Chez Montier prides itself on delivering the surprise and delight for which luxury fine dining is known. Chef Juan has spent many years meticulously refining his craft and creating some of the most outstanding culinary innovations in the world. It stands to reason, therefore, that he would want to share those creations with as many people as possible. Luxury abounds in every mouthful of Chef Juan’s work, and the work of Chez Montier benefits incredibly from this executive chef’s exquisite touch with luxury fine dining. Company: Chez Montier, Inc.
