What do you get when you source the world’s finest ingredients, put an amazingly creative chef in charge of a progressive grill menu, add a sleek theatre kitchen, funky music and stunning decor to the best Bund view in the city – of course – we believe the best dining experience in Shanghai!
 
Grant Brunsden, age 37, left school at the age of fifteen to pursue his passion in life - food. Originally from London, he worked his way up from the lowest rung on the ladder to where he is now – Executive Chef of M1NT Shanghai.
That journey has made him the chef that he is today – that and a rare ability to know exactly how to fuse ingredients and diverse flavors to deliver innovative yet incredibly popular cuisine.
Grant shifted from modern European cuisine, to Asian with an emphasis on Japanese and then to the Indian Sub-continent – gaining insights into the ingredients available, the many techniques to prepare fresh food and most importantly the flavors or spices & their interaction.
Grant cites his greatest influences as being the Executive Chefs at St Johns and Zuma both highly acclaimed restaurants in central London. What inspired him was not only how the menus were created, but also the incredible importance of consistency in everything you do – sourcing, preparation and service.
His first opportunity to create his own style of cuisine was where he opened Ai restaurant in New Delhi, India. With that success behind him, Grant’s reputation had spread to Shanghai and he was hired with the mandate to take the amazing theatre that is M1NT’s kitchen and restaurant and bring to it the perfect cuisine.
So what is that style of cuisine? It represents Grant’s journey. The best ingredients, prepared to enhance their natural taste and complimented with an amazing array of flavors inspired by Asia. It is East meets West but it’s the best of East meets the best of West.
