− INSPIRATION −
12 RAFFLES MAGAZINE
Ibelieve you do not need to travel to another country to experience a different part of the world,” says Batuhan Piatti, the
charismatic celebrity chef who heads up six unique dining venues at Raffles The Palm Dubai. “You can discover the world around a dinner table.” There are endless reasons to travel to this new oasis of calm and charm where Piatti now dons his chef ’s whites. Celebrations being one of them. The Ballroom and Exhibition Spaces are perfect for weddings and corporate events, while the on-site restaurants and lounges provide luxurious settings for birthdays, anniversaries or romantic dinners.
Welcoming both well-travelled guests from the hotel and local connoisseurs, the eponymously named Piatti, a new-concept beach restaurant, is set to be a destination on its own. Facing the water it serves the most irresistible Mediterranean cuisine. The Itameshi concept restaurant Matagi, meanwhile, introduces Japanese-Italian fusion that combines innovative cuisine with the highest quality ingredients. For baked delights, the Raffles Patisserie revives the true art of patisserie. Appointed by Batuhan Piatti, chef Gianluca Guinzoni unveils centuries-old recipes.
It is often said that music feeds the soul and the hotel’s SOLA Jazz Lounge boasts an impressive programme with renowned artists bringing a different band each night of the week for a celebratory night like no other. And to meet the man behind the culinary magic, reserve a chair at the Chef’s Atelier. Curated for 12 guests, the experience brings to life Piatti’s most exquisite creations. An intimate yet remarkable experience for those who seek discretion and opulence at the same time.
