The inaugural Executive Chef Dinner series to be hosted by Hakkasan at Atlantis, The Palm

Four Hakkasan chefs have created this stunning menu

Hakkasan, with one Michelin star at each at its locations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, London’s Mayfair and Hanway Place, is kicking off a first-of-its-kind dinner series.

The Hakkasan Executive Chef Dinner Series, taking place at Hakkasan Dubai for one night only on Friday, 9 June, will see four executive and head chefs create a unique eight hands collaboration not to be missed.

The kitchens are going to be buzzing as they conjure up fabulous dishes from Hakkasan Dubai’s Executive Chef Andy Toh,  Executive Chef Andrew Lee from Hakkasan Abu Dhabi, Head Chef Michael Zhen from Hakkasan Mayfair London, and Head Chef Keith Lim from Hakkasan Hanway Place London.

These seasoned culinary leaders took inspiration from timeless signature entrees, mixed in with their own locality’s flavour, and added decades of collective expertise to design a curated Cantonese menu only to be found at Hakkasan.

The special four-course menu, with two dishes served per course, represents each of the culinary masters.

In 2022, both Hakkasan Dubai and Hakkasan Abu Dhabi were awarded one Michelin star each in the Michelin Guide’s debut in both Middle East markets. 

Hakkasan Dubai retained its one Michelin star during Dubai’s second edition of the Michelin Guide 2023. Hakkasan Dubai and Hakkasan Abu Dhabi join London’s Hakkasan Hanway Place and Hakkasan Mayfair as Michelin star recipients within the Hakkasan brand. Less than two years after Hakkasan Hanway Place opened, it gained a Michelin star, making it the first Chinese restaurant in the United Kingdom to be recognised by the prestigious Michelin Guide. 

The Executive Chef Dinner Series, featuring chefs from Michelin-starred Hakkasan restaurants, will take place in the month of June in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha. 

Hakkasan Dubai will play host to the series on Friday 9 June. 

The menu is priced at AED 698 per person. Early reservations are highly recommended.
