Chantel Dartnall's Inspirational Dishes

When a creative mind puts aesthetic talent and a passion for the culinary arts into creating a dish, it is bound to be a great gastronomical experience. South African chef Chantel Dartnall’s dishes have become renowned around the world with her innovative Botanical Cuisine making the Restaurant Mosaic one of South Africa’s top tables.

"Passion, consistency and simplicity" are the three main fundamentals of the chef’s culinary philosophy. Chef Dartnall always tries “to transform the act of eating into a sensual experience”, creating a perfect balance between flavour and beauty, texture and elegance.

Nature is served

Chantel Dartnall’s Botanical cuisine is based on natural ingredients, in which herbs and flowers are the protagonists. Every dish is designed and organized with patience and precision, with a perfect aesthetic balance of ingredients and colors, utilized in a very natural way.

“For me, it’s about featuring Mother Nature on a plate. Each dish is designed to reflect the beauty, balance, harmony, and purity that you find in nature” explains the chef.
