Ex-Pujol Chef Jesús Durón to open DUÉ

The London restaurant is slated for 2025

With a stint as Executive Chef of Pujol, one of the best restaurants in Mexico City and currently number 13 on the World’s 50 Best list, under his belt, plus time spent in French restaurant Les Moustaches (also in CDMX) and the three Michelin-starred El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, it’s safe to say Jesús Durón knows his way around a kitchen. And now he’s bringing one of his own to London with DUÉ, which he’s opening in partnership with Lindsay Jang, founder of Hong Kong establishments Yardbird and RONIN.

DUÉ will take inspo from global flavours with roots in both French and Mexican cuisines, and while we don’t have a menu yet (or a location either), we are getting a preview of what to expect as the pair are taking the concept on a world tour in 2024. It’s already popped up in NYC and has stops planned for Hong Kong, Bangkok, Paris, and Carousel in London, where dishes will include chicken chicharron with pico de gallo and maylor shrimp; scallop tsukune with corn dashi and egg yolk; cuttlefish with green mole and crache leaves; and roast pigeon with spring onion and cacao. Roll on 2025 we say.
