Born in Samoa and brought up in
Wellington, New Zealand, Chef Monica
Galetti moved to Britain in 1999 to
work alongside Michel Roux Jnr at
the two Michelin starred, Le Gavroche
in London. She became a household
name in 2008 when she joined the
BBC1 team as a judge on Masterchef:
The Professionals and more recently,
has gone on to co-present two series of
BBC2’s Amazing Hotels - Life Beyond
the Lobby.
Monica opened her first solo restaurant
venture, Mere, in Fitzrovia, London
working alongside her sommelier
husband David in March 2017; the
accumulation of a 20-year dream.
Situated in Fitzrovia’s eclectic
Charlotte Street, Mere is a melting
pot of cultural influences, bringing
together Monica’s South Pacific and
New Zealand heritage with elements
that are intrinsically modern European.
