EXECUTIVE CHEF CHRIS RENDELL


Mary Queen of Scots Executive Chef Chris Rendell grew up in Melbourne enjoying a hybrid cuisine including dishes from his English father's traditional British Isles favorites. Chris began his fine dining career at the highly regarded Carmines in Melbourne. His next move was to Sydney to work under Neil Perry at the Rock Pool Group and then to Christine Manfield's iconic Paramount. Chris went onto London to work at The Sugar Club, followed a job as the Head Chef at the Mews of Mayfair, where the kitchen put out elegant renditions of modern British cooking. This is where Chris realized his love for modern British cuisine. Chris finally crossed the Atlantic to work alongside fellow Sugar Club alumnus Brad Farmerie first at PUBLIC, and then at Double Crown and Madam Geneva, where he flavored his British cooking skills with a touch of Indian and Asian influences. Chris has now come full circle, returning to a way of Modern British-Classic Isle cooking that he both loves and has a talent of showcasing.

Metro Mix - Best New Bar - March 2011
Mary Queen of Scots voted best new bar in NYC.
The Right Pick - January 2011
"At Mary Queen of Scots it is the remarkable food delivered out of the kitchen. A tongue-in-cheek play on Scottish and French favorites, the menu is elegant and well-curated"
New York Times - December 2010
"To sit in a booth with a Smuttynose I.P.A. and a dram, cocooned in plaid and buffed wood while looking out at the city cold and menacing, is to experience a sense that life is probably better inside Mary Queen of Scots than out on the sidewalk" Sam Sifton
