Designed by dynamic Hong Kong-based architecture and interior design studio Brash Atelier, JUNO balances a spectacular frontage of light-reflecting 3D tiles with understated, sophisticated interiors of pastel hues and natural materials. Textured plaster walls with elegant travertine panels dress the 1,300 sq. ft space which will seat up to 50 diners within 2 distinct areas. Creating a unique focal point, light-toned marble clads a central kitchen pass. Custom-designed pendant lighting on the high ceiling affords a play of light and shadow, while artfully curated furnishings contribute to the comfortable, tranquil ambiance.
At the helm is a familiar and well-travelled face, Chef Jordi Vallés Claverol, who most recently led the success of tapas-culture hotspot Chueca, JUNO’s sister restaurant and the first venture of the Salamanca Group. He now steps up as Group Executive Chef and General Manager, bringing his Mediterranean outlook and years of expertise working in renowned Spanish and French restaurants worldwide to the JUNO kitchen.
The award-winning and adventurous chef enjoyed previous stints at The Optimist (Pirata Group) in Hong Kong, and Beijing’s acclaimed Aqua restaurant (Aqua Restaurant Group). He began his career in Michelin-starred kitchens in his native Barcelona and is renowned for a mastery of European classics that he revitalises with contemporary innovation, artistic flourishes and characteristic Continental charisma.
