Chez Bateau Banane

Having started as a pop-up kitchen, Chez Bateau Banane has been anchored and serving fusion inspired vegetarian food to locals for over ten years.

​​

"With an eye on fusion and function, each dish Chef Banane creates is a delightful and unexpected cressendo for your mouth and senses!"

~ James Oliver (Guardian food critic) 

 

Chef Banane insists on using only the freshest local ingredients and even adds to dishes from her own personal garden.  

​​

"It's like she's in a mad trance when she's cooking; her intensity in the kitchen permeates everything she creates."

~ Alison Cooper (Editor-in-Chief at Today's Chef )   

 

Inspired by her grandparent's garden as a child, Chef Banane innovates new ways of experiencing traditional food.  Each ingredient is lovingly selected and revered for its life-giving sacrifice.  Like many spiritual experiences, Chef Banane believes good natural food feeds our soul.

​​

"My food is about passion and inspiration.  When I look at the mountains across the water, I see a silky roasted beet soup with herb crusted corn and nut-bread crudites.  I can't help it - that's what my eyes tell my brain how mountains and water taste."

~ Chef Banane (Executive Chef Chez Bateau Banane)
