BANKING ON THE CBD

Chefs Daniel and Tamara Chavez are on a roll.

- 

The owners of Canchita Peruvian Cuisine and Spanish restaurant Tinto, both in Dempsey, recently opened Vino Tinto, a 40-seat wine bar at One Raffles Quay; and will open 80-seat Tomatillo, a Mexican restaurant, at Esplanade Mall in February.

Peruvian chef Daniel Chavez, 44, who ran Ola Cocina del Mar at Marina Bay Financial Centre for nine years before closing it in 2021, says that experience was valuable from a business point of view.
