A Culinary Voyage Across Continents, Part 2: Cuisine of the Tunisian Sahara

The Chef's Travel Dinner Series takes guests through a three-part immersive dining experience led by Executive Chef Kartik, who guides guests on a sensory journey through rich culinary landscapes that have been inspired by his time spent in those countries. Each evening is an exclusive chapter, blending seasonal and authentic ingredients, global flavours, and the artistry of our culinary team. Every course is introduced by Chef Kartik, who shares his stories, insights, and cultural influences behind each dish.
