Chef Dominique Macquet
Born on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, Macquet grew up with Creole, Asian, African and Indian home-cooked dishes. Since then, his career has taken him around the world tasting, exploring and experiencing the flavors of both hemispheres. Macquet has honed his skills in locations as diverse as South Africa, London, Southeast Asia and Beverly Hills. He has cooked aboard the legendary ocean liner Queen Elizabeth II, at the James Beard Foundation, at the White House (2x) and at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. One of Macquetâs highest honors and favorite memories was cooking Nelson Mandelaâs first meal outside South African prison walls.
After his extensive travels, the chef chose New Orleans as the perfect stage for his ongoing culinary celebration. Following an award-winning stint as executive chef at the Bistro at the Maison de Ville, Macquet opened the eponymous âDominiqueâsâ at the Maison Dupuis hotel in the French Quarter which was named the âBest New Restaurant in the United Statesâ by Esquire Magazine. There he began the process of returning to his culinary roots. Due to the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina, Macquet temporarily relocated to Houston opening âDominqueâsâ at the Marriott Westchase, receiving high accolades from multiple Texas publications.
Upon returning to New Orleans, the first âDominiqueâs on Magazineâ was born. It was here that Macquetâs innovative combination of island flavors with the precision of French technique truly came to fruition. As his new namesake restaurant, âDominiqueâsâ again was named the âBest New Restaurant in the United Statesâ by Esquire Magazine; also was named âBest New Restaurantâ from New Orleans Magazine; received four stars from City Business; and a glowing Four Bean review from Brett Anderson of the Times-Picayune. In late 2011, he also opened âTamarind,â a French-Vietnamese restaurant within the renovated Hotel Modern on Lee Circle. With all this success, the search began for a larger location â leading the chef to open the new âDominiqueâs on Magazineâ in the summer of 2012. New Orleans Magazine named it âRestaurant of the year.â
With co-author John DeMers, Macquet has published two successful cookbooks, âDominiqueâs Fresh Flavors: Cooking with Latitude in New Orleansâ (Ten Speed Press) and âTropical Latitudesâ (Bright Sky Press). He explains that while he sometimes thinks of his cooking as âTropical French,â others call it simply âlatitude,â perfectly summing up the around-the-globe approach Macquet brings to every dish on the menu.
I will be happy to prepare a special menu with wine pairing during your stay .
