Savouring the gastronomic creations of a world renowned chef is a privilege that discerning diners will always relish, and this opportunity has now been expanded seven-fold with the announcement of seven series of the most anticipated gastronomic event in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – The Globe Summit.
One of the most popular gourmet events in the Kingdom for the past five years, The Globe Summit was traditionally a one-week event held at Riyadh’s leading luxury hotel, Al Faisaliah Hotel, A Rosewood Hotel. This year marks the launch of a new The Globe Summit Series, a series of exclusive events that will take place over a 14 month period and hosted by a number of the world’s most celebrated Grand Chefs.
The series will run in two of the property’s premium restaurants: the international award-winning The Globe restaurant atop of the Al Faisaliah Tower and the contemporary La Cucina restaurant in the Al Faisaliah Suites.
“We are delighted to host such prestigious gastronomic events that not only embody the excellence of Al Faisaliah Hotel’s restaurants, but also affirm Riyadh’s leadership position as the Kingdom’s leading culinary destination,” said Alex Pichel, Managing Director of Riyadh Rosewood Hotels.
The Globe Summit incorporates a series of course gala dinners, intimate studio lunches that are personally prepared and presented by the chefs, and exclusive cooking demonstrations and seminars.
Hailing from the most acclaimed kitchens in Europe and the U.S., the Grand Chefs will create menus influenced by their respective regions, with signature dishes that have earned them international culinary fame.
The first series takes place from 28th September to 3rd October in Riyadh’s ultra-fashionable restaurant, La Cucina. Italian Chef Hans Baumgartner, holder of two Michelin Stars, will inspire discerning diners with his artistic approach to the finest Italian dishes.
Recognising the popularity of The Globe Summit Series, the most renowned brands in the Kingdom have partnered with Al Faisaliah Hotel to support the most anticipated gastronomic event. Partners include: Andalusia Gourmet, Qatar Airways, Sony, Porta, Al Jazirah Newspaper and Eye of Riyadh.
“The Globe Summit is an event that is unprecedented in the Middle East and we look forward to welcoming both our longstanding and loyal patrons as well as the many visitors we expect to attend,” added Pichel.
