Born on the tiny island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, Chef Dominique brings a world of experience to his kitchen, having honed his culinary style working all over the globe before finding his place in New Orleans. Chef Dominique describes his style as "light, fresh, flavorful" contemporary French with an Asian influence.

Trained in classic French cooking and well versed in California cuisine, Macquet has easily embraced the use of Louisiana ingredients to create dishes that blend the robust flavors of the West with the more subtle ones of the East (mastered while cooking in Asia). Incorporating the refined spices of his native island home imparts a fresh taste to his dishes.What is true of Mauritius cuisine is true of most island cuisines, the chef explains. It evolves from a mix of original native people using only those ingredients indigenous to the island, adapting their diet to the foods they found on hand, then later being introduced to the flavors and spices of other areas through colonization, linking its cuisine to the rest of the world.His work earns significant praise from the city’s top food critic: "Macquet applies a well-honed classical technique to a careful selection of fine, fresh ingredients while adding graceful accents from around the globe to create dishes that approach the sublime."Chef Dominique and his staff are available to cater any event at The Maison Dupuy. Business meetings, banquets, showers, rehearsal dinners, and even weddings.

No matter the occasion, Chef Dominique’s cuisine will make it an event to remember!
