Musette Opens in Cape Porpoise
“I wanted to be the first Englishman to win the Tour de France,” Cartwright says. Instead, Cartwright started in hospitality with a chef’s apprenticeship in Sheffield, England. There, he came to appreciate the similarities between restaurant life, and cycling, particularly the pressures one feels, and the endurance it takes to succeed. (Seacoast Online 2017)
Brunch at Musette
“The interior of Musette is small, but quaint and feels slightly European with a large Tour de France cycling poster at the entrance, Dempsey Challenge jerseys hanging from the ceiling, and a glorious, shiny Italian espresso maker sitting just across from the bar waiting to drip the best expresso around.” (2021 Savor and Snooze)

The Chef's Kitchen with Jonathan Cartwright
Renowned “Relais & Chateaux” Chef Jonathan Cartwright showcases his impressive European techniques with a Texas flair. The Grilled Gulf Red Snapper with Heirloom Tomato Salsa features the freshest herbs from the extensive organic gardens at The Inn at Dos Brisas. He adds Pea Flowers, Rosemary Flowers & the tiniest of Fennel Herb to garnish.
Chef Cartwright hosts an eclectic variety of offerings, with no particular theme. “That might be a comforting bowl of slowly cooked blue-corn grits with sherry vinegar-glazed roasted vegetables, arugula, and grated Parmesan, a preparation he picked up during a stint cooking on a ranch in Texas. Or it might be a velvety oyster stew, generously laced with butter, its oysters added at the last minute so they’re just barely cooked.”
