The next time you dine at Por Fin Restaurant, you may be tempted to try a new dish. That’s because Luis Quant, our new executive chef is adding a few more tantalizing specials to our menu.

Luis is a Miami creation with culinary skills from across both oceans. He started his career under his father’s inspirational kitchen traits, preparing food for family occasions. The festive family ambiance gave Luis the opportunity to perfect oriental flavors from the Pacific with a unique Caribbean twist. As Luis started his professional training and development, he had the opportunity to secure a coveted entry-level position under world famous Chef Jeffrey Vigila at The Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne, who quickly saw the potential of the aspiring chef and took him under his wing.

Luis rapidly moved deeper into the world of imaginative cooking. Chef Jordi Valles at Mosaico’s Salero Restaurant brought him into the excitement of innovative European palates and Marc Vidal introduced him to the unique flavors of Por Fin. It was another rapid ascent into Mediterranean food with emphasis on the traditional kitchen of Spain, which was starting to catch the attention of the New World. Under these masters, Luis had access to the ‘Alta Cocina’ cuisine that has become the foundation of his own style. As our newest and most promising chef, we are happy to have him join the Por Fin family.
