WHERE INSTINCT MEETS THE TABLE

 

MER WASRL Chef Francecil Ponte

At the helm of Noble Fox's kitchen, Chef Francecil Ponte cooks the way she learned at her grandmother's table in Venezuela—where a meal was never just a meal, but a reason to gather, linger, and stay for one more round. Her menus are built for exactly that: shareable, seasonal, and effortlessly refined.

Drawing on 25 years in the kitchen and a deep instinct for hospitality, Chef Ponte pairs brasserie classics with playful, unexpected touches—dishes made for golden-hour cocktails on the terrace and unhurried evenings at the table. The result is a menu that rewards the curious—whether you're here for a full dinner or grazing your way through happy hour.
