Hakkasan Dubai Plays Host To Inaugural Executive Chef Dinner Series

In celebration of Hakkasan restaurants being the recipient of One Michelin Star each at its locations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and in London’s Mayfair and Hanway Place, the modern Cantonese cuisine brand announces a first-of-its-kind dinner series to celebrate this amazing feat. Taking place at Hakkasan Dubai for one night only on Friday, 9^th June, the Hakkasan Executive Chef Dinner Series brings together four executive and head chefs to create a unique eight hands collaboration that is not to be missed. This celebration is especially timely for Hakkasan Dubai, which recently retained its One Michelin Star during Dubai’s second edition of the Michelin Guide 2023.

Alongside Hakkasan Dubai’s Executive Chef Andy Toh, the dinner series will include 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.
