Chef Olivier Deboise Mendez of the St. Regis Hotel in Mexico City
?The respect for local purveyors offering ingredients of the highest quality possible is the pillar of my philosophy,? explained Chef Olivier Deboise Mendez of the J&G Grill housed in the St. Regis Mexico City.
Tell me a little bit about the history of J&G Grill.

Introduced in May 2012, J&G Grill presents contemporary American cuisine with the highest quality and freshness in meat and seafood, in a carte du jour inspired by the great success of the acclaimed Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and his bold use of ingredients. I have led the restaurant since August 2015, aiming to provide seasonal menus and dishes that continue to delight and surprise the tastes of local diners and the international gourmet community. 
How you would describe your own philosophy or approach to cuisine"

The respect for local purveyors offering ingredients of the highest quality possible is the pillar of my philosophy. My goal is to captivate diners with original dishes, complete with unique flavors, prepared with the best locally-sourced ingredients in season. Additionally, I love to craft beautiful dishes, appealing to the eye and with a wow-factor on the plate.

My Franco-Mexican spirit is drawn from my travels and experiences throughout the world, which shines through in my gastronomic creations.
