Chef Peter Tempelhoff has announced his departure from Waterfront restaurant Mondiall – a side project run in partnership with Patrick Symington – to take on larger challenges at The Collection by Liz McGrath, which includes growing his existing role at the group’s flagship restaurant, The Greenhouse.

“Along with the sudden death of one of my greatest mentors, Liz McGrath, a few weeks ago, has come a change of thinking and a new challenge. My role in the three Relais & Chateaux hotels of The Collection by Liz McGrath has become more important than ever before, as I have been offered a more significant role within The Greenhouse and the company… a challenge I cannot ignore.”

“In light of this, I have had to make the hard decision to end my partnership with Mondiall; a decision that was not easy to make, but necessary to fulfill my new role. I will remain completely hands on in The Greenhouse, the Collection’s flagship restaurant, while advising the food and beverage departments of all three hotels. I wish Patrick Symington and Mondiall all the success in the future.”

The Eat Out team wishes both Peter and Patrick lots of luck, and recommends that you try the seafood at risotto at Mondiall. (Because it’s downright delicious.)
