Our Philosophy
Behind every Medure Brothers concept, decisions are made in the kitchen, not a boardroom. And it’s this philosophy that continues to inspire celebrated chef entrepreneurs Matthew and David Medure with every restaurant concept they create. From thoughtful cuisine to beautiful presentation, Medure Brothers' passion is driven by the simple desire to do things to the highest standard, with an absolute commitment to the guest experience.
Our Leadership
Matthew’s career launched in 1988, when he enrolled at the Pennsylvania Institute for Culinary Arts to hone his quickly emerging culinary talents. His gifts were immediately recognized and he quickly moved up the ranks after graduating, working for one year as first cook at The Café at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead in Atlanta before being asked to help open The Grill at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, off Florida’s Atlantic coast.
Matthew made a name for himself during his seven years as executive chef at that fine-dining establishment, which was consistently named one of Florida’s top restaurants by such publications as Florida Trend, Water’s Edge and Jacksonville magazine. The Grill also won numerous local, regional and national accolades, and Matthew was further recognized in 1994, when The Grill became the only restaurant in the state to win the AAA Five Diamond Award. Two years later, he helped open The Ritz-Carlton, Bali, and was later nominated two consecutive years for the James Beard “Rising Star Chef of the Year.”
Matthew is now co-owner of Matthew’s Restaurant, Restaurant Medure, M Shack, Rue Saint Marc, Midtown Table, M Brothers at Mayo and Zest at Mayo applying the same passion for innovative menus and high-quality service that won him accolades early in his career. He and his brother, David Medure, founded Medure Brothers Culinary Concepts on the guiding principles of innovation, quality, service and a commitment to hospitality, ensuring their guests always leave their establishments with plans to return.
During his 25 years in the culinary field, Matthew has received numerous honors and appeared on countless television programs, including “Great Chefs of the South,” Lifetime Television’s “The Main Ingredient,” CNN’s “On the Menu,” HGTV’s “All in Good Taste” and on local television stations in Jacksonville.
Since day one we have remained true to being a culinary-driven and chef-owned restaurant group. Decisions always come from the kitchen first, and with a genuine desire to serve our guests.
