The Burj Al Arab Jumeirah has had three new chefs join its celebrity restaurants as part of its aims to create elevated dining experiences for its guests.
Jose Silva, Jumeirah Group's CEO said: "We are very proud to announce the arrival of three new culinary experts at our flagship hotel in Dubai. This appointment reveals the start of a more diversified and innovative culinary offering, in addition to our continued focus on the guest experiences, which is a core element of the luxury industry. Dubai's diverse culinary scene will be a delight for Expo2020 visitors next year, and with over 60 restaurants in Dubai, we are ready to welcome its epicurean guests. This is the start of several other exciting culinary and customer experiences we plan to announce in the near future."
The news follows the recent milestone recruitment of Michael Ellis as Chief Culinary Officer, the former MD of the Michelin Guide.
Francky Semblat, Kim Joinie-Maurin and Kasper Kurdahl have a combined seven Michelin stars at their most recent culinary appointments. Semblat and Joinie-Maurin are both protégés of Joël Robuchon's school of excellence, while Kurdahl has worked alongside Roger Souvereyns.
The Burj Al Arab Jumeirah's contemporary French diner Al Muntaha welcomes Semblat and Sky View cocktail bar & restaurant Joinie-Maurin. Kurdahl joins the Al Mahara seafood restaurant.
Anthony Costa, Regional VP, Jumeirah Group and MD Burj al Arab, said of the three: "Their experience at some of the world's best restaurants coupled with their diverse backgrounds and entrepreneurial adventures will pave the path to a wonderful gastronomic journey."
