Al Faisaliah Hotel, A Rosewood Hotel, is setting again the tone this year in gastronomic pageantry to the delight of food connoisseurs and fine dining enthusiasts as it celebrates the annual internationally renowned Globe Summit Series culinary event.

The haute cuisine pageant demonstrates Al Faisaliah Hotel’s enduring thrust to elevate the art of hospitality to new heights.

The four-day extravaganza of the finest haute cuisine, which began on Wednesday (Feb. 25), will be presented by the acclaimed and seasoned international French chef Frederic Simonin who will prepare one-of-a-kind cuisines to the great pleasure of food lovers, gourmet connoisseurs and guests with discerning palate.

The epicurean affair is a good opportunity to experience and savor the best of what fine dining has to offer and witness culinary science transforms into art as well.

Chef Simonin, a legionnaire at the stoves, is regarded as one of the reigning visionaries of haute cuisine. His career, which started at a tender age of 15, brought him myriad of laurels and put him on a pedestal.

From commis chef at Ledoyen with Ghislaine Arabian to appointments within high-end restaurants such as Maurice, Taillevent and George V., Frederic’s early years showcased his searing vocational passion.

His cuisine is highly indicative of his culinary pedigree, preparing traditional fare with a modern interpretation that derives inspiration from various influences such as the orient.

Simonin’s residency during the Globe Summit Series will no doubt confirm his immense talent and devotion to the art of fine dining and the demands of haute cuisine.

Moreover, the world renowned grand chef will also hold a series of several-course lunches, exclusive culinary master classes, exquisite various course dinners, and a show-stopping dinner finale on Feb. 28, the last day of the food galore.
