Breakfast

qualia Executive Chef - Jeremy Fenech

Growing up in a Whitsunday's resort, Jeremy was introduced to the unique world of hospitality from an early age. After completing his apprenticeship in Brisbane in the early 2000’s he worked for a boutique hotel in the Southern Highlands before travelling abroad to work at the iconic Wolseley in London, and then the three Michelin starred restaurant Dieter Muller in Germany. 

Jeremy’s culinary journey continued at Riverstone Kitchen, located in the small country town of Omaru, in New Zealand South Island, where his hard work contributed to the restaurant being named as ‘Cuisine Magazine's New Zealand Restaurant of the Year' in 2010. He then moved on to the famed Matakauri Lodge, before returning to Australia to take on the role of sous chef of Capella Lodge, on Lord Howe Island, preparing locally sourced daily menus for intimate numbers of guests. 

After a two-year tenure as a sous chef at the Michelin-starred Prato Borni in the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, Switzerland, Jeremy ventured to Hamburg to spearhead the opening of Leche De Tigre, a Peruvian restaurant and bar. His culinary journey took a personal turn when he met his wife, Mascha, leading them to relocate to the South of Germany, where Jeremy assumed the role of head chef at a luxury castle designed by the architect of the Palace of Versailles. 

Amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Jeremy and Mascha returned to Australia, where Jeremy took on the role of executive chef at Mt Mulligan Lodge in Queensland’s Outback. Leading a team of five, they crafted daily menus for up to 18 guests alongside a seven-course degustation menu. 

Returning to his local roots Jeremy Fenech draws upon his extensive experience as the Executive Chef at qualia. His meticulously designed menus deliver an elegant, fresh, and reflective dining experience, capturing the essence of the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Islands while highlighting his profound connection to the local community.
