The annual Relais & Châteaux Congress in Lisbon hosted a gathering of some of the world’s most renowned and celebrated chefs.
It was here that Peter Tempelhoff, Executive Chef for The Collection by Liz McGrath, was awarded the prestigious status of Grand Chef.
“To receive this award is something I have dreamed about for many, many years and I feel it is the start of a bright and wonderful future for us all.” Liz McGrath
Under the Grand Chef banner, you will discover the most celebrated names in the gastronomic world today. These renowned chefs constitute an international culinary benchmark, showcasing their genius, which reflects their own individual cultures.
Their restaurants, with their exquisite settings and service, fine wine cellars, and unrivalled cuisine, present the Grand Chef qualities of creativity and refinement which will delight any epicurean. These chefs can be found in cities all over the world from New York, Geneva, Sydney, Tokyo, Paris, and now The Cellars-Hohenort in Cape Town!
Peter Tempelhoff will join chefs of the calibre of Raymond Blanc of Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Michel Roux Jr. of Le Gavroche, Michel and Alain Roux of The Waterside Inn, Heston Blumenthal of The Fat Duck, Hélène Darroze in Paris, Thomas Keller from Per Se and French Laundry, Daniel Boulud and Joel Robuchon – to name but a few.
“It is also a very humbling experience for me, as I am aware of the responsibility which comes with the title… to Liz McGrath, our team and ultimately to all of our guests. I look forward to this challenge and putting Cape Town firmly on the map as a world class gastronomic destination!” Peter Tempelhoff
Following quickly on the heels of this award, the Greenhouse restaurant at the Cellars Hohenort has just been awarded the best restaurant in South Africa by the 2012 Eat Out magazine!
