August 25,2022 0 Rita Ghantous

Frances Sintin and Angelica Fonjock, known as the chicks behind the chopsticks, have joined 3Fils, a harbor-side community-style restaurant that services premium Asian dishes with a Japanese twist.

The new sushi chefs will play a key role in the kitchen of the Japanese-inspired restaurant in Jumeirah, which is for its daring approach to food.

Sintin said: “I’m focused and ready to prepare every dish to perfection. Joining the 3Fils team is incredibly exciting, especially with the brand being named the best restaurant in the Middle East & North Africa region at the inaugural MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards this year.”

Chef Fonjock, who joins the team after perfecting her skills in a number of well-known sushi kitchens, said: “I’m proud to further develop my career in Japanese cuisine at 3Fils, where the kitchen is a quality-driven and inspiring place to be. We are introduced to new techniques and ingredients each day in order to give our guests the best dining experience possible. In my new role, I hope to bring exciting new maki roll combinations to the table to excite the palates of our diners.

Indeed, 3Fils has been piling up awards for quite some time, topping the list at the inaugural MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards (2022), as well as being recognized in Forbes Top 10 Coolest Places To Eat (2019) and TimeOut Dubai’s Best Asian Restaurant for three consecutive years (2018-2020).
