ABOUT CHEF 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)
