A young chef, who was previously part of a Michelin-star team, has taken the top job at city restaurant, Maribel. Harvey Perttola has been named as head chef at the Brindleyplace location, following the departure of Richard Turner.
Aged just 24, Harvey Pertolla is now one of the youngest head chefs in the city and aims to continue the restaurant’s ambition of offering ‘fine dining without the pretence’. Pertolla is already making moves to ensure that Maribel, which opened a year ago this month, is accessible to all with the introduction of a new a la carte menu and simplified tasting menu.
Serving up a new direction for Maribel, Pertolla has launched an a la carte menu that offers diners three courses for £39, dishes like asparagus, egg yolk and lardo; lamb, pea, sheep’s curd and manjari chocolate and mint; the restaurant continues to celebrate great food, created with the finest local produce.
