Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town proudly welcomes Luke Lawrence Barry as its new Executive Chef. After living abroad Chef Luke returns to South Africa, to elevate the iconic hotel's dining experiences. “I’ve always appreciated and respected what Mount Nelson does and represents,” says Chef Luke. “This majestic property possesses 125 years’ worth of history that I feel I need to uphold, which is a huge responsibility.”
With extensive experience in fine dining, Chef Luke brings a fresh perspective to Mount Nelson's gastronomic offerings. Having spent the last ten years honing his skills in Hong Kong, Chef Luke’s career has seen him opening world class restaurants that explore diverse cuisines and innovative culinary experiences. In his new role, he oversees the medley of much-loved, existing establishments, and while preserving the unique flavour of each establishment is paramount, sustainability, seasonality, and the celebration of South African cuisine remain cornerstones of Chef Luke’s philosophy.
