Gault&Millau Masters Series: Jason Atherton and Paco Pérez to collab in Dubai
A one-off, exclusive dinner collaboration by two of the world's best chefs is coming to Dubai later this month.
The fourth instalment of the Gault&Millau Masters Series will see British chef Jason Atherton, familiar to Dubai foodies as the man behind Row On 45, and Catalan chef Paco Pérez team up.
Taking place on Friday May 23 at City Social in Dubai Marina, it'll be an exclusive six-course menu. The collab is a partnership between Gault&Millau and Marriott International's The Luminary Set.
Atherton heads up the four-toque Gault&Millau UAE Restaurant of the Year 2025 Row On 45, while Pérez is at the helm of the multi-award-winning Enoteca restaurant in Barcelona.
The event will be a narrative-driven dining experience rooted in the elements that define their signature styles – fire and water.
Enoteca draws inspiration from the Mediterranean and has a cooking philosophy based on quality raw ingredients, simplicity and elegance in each dish.
The six-course menu, which includes an aperitif and dessert, will see three dishes from each chef served in rotation.
Priced at Dhs595 per person, it's the first time that Pérez will serve diners in the region, and can be booked online.
The exclusive menu, which will be announced at a later date, combines the embers of City Social's open fire with the coastal clarity of the Mediterranean Sea.
An option to add a curated grape pairing for the evening will also be revealed closer to the big night.
Speaking ahead of the one-night-only event, Pérez provided a preview of what you could expect on the evening.
He said: 'In 15 years, we have offered countless creations, with dishes like sea urchin and truffle rice becoming classics – we look forward to bringing a taste of Catalonia to Dubai'
Dhs595 per person (food), grape pairing prices TBA. Fri May 23, 8pm. City Social, Grosvenor House, A luxury Collection Hotel, Dubai Marina. (+971 4 402 2222).
