David Williams has been appointed as the executive chef at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel. He has 20 years of experience in the hospitality and food industries, having created culinary offerings for organisations as varied as the South African Airforce and steak restaurants in London.
More recently, he has worked as a chef at leading hotels and game reserves around the country, including The Cape Grace Hotel, The Table Bay Hotel, Phinda Private Game Reserve, and the Palazzo Hotel Intercontinental.
He holds a City and Guilds Professional Cookery Certificate, but has learnt most of his skills on the job as he has progressed through various leading restaurants and hotels both in South Africa and abroad.
He brings to the Radisson Blu his passion for fine dining, with classic basics that incorporate local flavours and modern food trends. He believes that fine dining should be a feast for all the senses, and focuses on creating artistic plates for his guests.
