Willibald Reinbacher’s culinary passion was first nurtured in his native Austria, where he learnt about the importance of fresh quality ingredients and where he developed the creative flair that has become a hallmark of his cuisine. Chef Willi’s skills were further honed during a ten-year period in Dubai, working alongside some of the finest chefs from around the world. During this period, which coincided with Dubai’s meteoric rise to become one of the world’s great culinary centres, Chef Willi led a talented team of chefs who consistently delivered exceptionally well-executed classical cuisine alongside contemporary and stunningly artisinal dishes.

As Executive Chef of Shanti Maurice, Chef Willi views Mauritius as the perfect location to further develop his passion for serving the finest and freshest food.
