(Above) South African Chef, Chantel Dartnall, shares the secret to her success and why she is the best female chef in the world.
Chef Chantel Dartnall was named the World’s Best Female Chef at The Best Chef Awards in Warsaw, Poland in 2017. Speaking about the “incredible moment” when she received the award, Dartnall said it was “a great honour to have been selected as the 2017 Best Female Chef by The Best Chef Awards.”
“I didn’t have a clue that I would win. It was just a privilege to have been nominated with people that I have looked up to and admired from afar,” the 38-year-old chef says.
This was not the only time the incredible chef put South Africa on the map. Dartnall has twice been named South African Chef of the Year at the annual Eat Out Restaurant Awards. She was also named the 2017 Chef of the Year for Africa and the Middle East by the prestigious Luxury Travel Guide Awards.
Her restaurant in Pretoria, Restaurant Mosaic, has also earned a 2018 Grand Award from the highly-acclaimed US publication Wine.
Marvin Shanken, editor and publisher of Wine Spectator said the restaurant’s wine list “is one of the best in the world and our inspection determined that Restaurant Mosaic also excels in food, service, and ambiance.”
