Group executive chef, Solutions Leisure
Lee heads up the F&B offering of Solutions Lesiure’s diverse venues: Q43, Lock, Stock & Barrel, Karma Kafé, Asia Asia and the soon-to-open seafood restaurant The Atlantic. The past year has seen some of these concepts win a host of awards and gain industry recognition, going from strength to strength in a short amount of time. Lee is responsible for making sure the 5,000 people that the venues collectively feed on a daily basis go away satisfied and has built strong relationships with suppliers to ensure consistent quality. Lee prides himself on his determination to look for new products to enhance the menus that are a little out of the ordinary, such as sea eel and pen shell, which he says no other restaurant in Dubai uses. He also tirelessly to improve food presentation across Solutions Leisure’s venues. His aim is to keep on introducing new culinary techniques to staff and inspiring his team, as well as the competition, over the next 12 months when he will be an integral part of the company adding three more venues to its portfolio.
