If there’s one food that Artemio, aka Arte, cannot live without it, it’s fresh homemade tortillas, the ones his grandmother and mother used to make growing up in the ‘food capital’ of Mexico, Oaxaca. It is these fond memories that inspired Arte to pursue a culinary career. His experience expands more than 20 years in eight different countries. Arte began his studies at the Culinary Institute of Mexico where he obtained a degree in Culinary Art. Arte worked in Switzerland, France, helped to set up the first Mexican restaurant in Pristina, Kosovo, and assisted a restaurant in Spain to achieve a Michelin star. As Chef de Cuisine at The Brasserie, Arte enjoys the opportunity to cook with fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients and create menus based on the wide variety and availability of farm-to-table produce in Cayman.
