Where They Are Now
La Terrasse, London, the kitchen runs on a clear brief: seasonal simplicity, handled with classic technique, local produce, and a French register that stays measured rather than showy. As Executive Chef at The Murray, Hong Kong, Fernando Corona keeps that line intact, shaping a service style that relies on control, restraint, and clean execution instead of excess. The Mont Blanc Martini cocktail sits within that same language of precision. Associated with Fernando Corona’s time at La Terrasse, it is made with GREY GOOSE Altius in an alpine-style martini cocktail and served with two fresh rock oysters and vinaigrette. The build extends the restaurant’s sense of refinement beyond the plate, using contrast—bracing and luxurious, crisp and saline—to mirror the kitchen’s own discipline. Fernando Corona’s remit at The Murray, Hong Kong, is both culinary and operational. His background across Mexican cuisine, creative cuisine, kitchen administration, cost control, and staff management gives the role breadth, while classic French technique remains the base. That combination matters in service: it is the difference between a kitchen that merely plates food and one that holds pace, margin, and consistency. In Meyronne, that approach defines the restaurant’s finish. Under Fernando Corona, La Terrasse treats seasonal ingredients as material to be translated, not decorated, and local produce is handled with enough restraint for flavor to stay vivid and clean. The effect is a kitchen that aims for ease without losing intent.
