Dubai, UAE: In a culinary collaboration, Chef Erick Ramos, who heads the kitchen at Above Eleven Dubai, West Palm’s Japanese Peruvian Nikkei rooftop restaurant, will join forces with award-winning Chef Penelope Díaz of Fusion Ceviche to craft an exquisite five-course sharing menu, this week.
Forget your average dinner; this is a “Four Hands” collaboration, a meeting of minds and palates promising a menu that dives deep into the heart of Peruvian Nikkei cuisine.
On Thursday, April 17th, and Friday, April 18, guests can witness the culinary artistry in action.
Chefs Ramos and Díaz are not just throwing dishes together; they are weaving a narrative with each plate, drawing inspiration from their roots, their individual journeys, and a shared passion for the dynamic flavors that define this unique culinary blend.
The experience begins with playful amuse-bouches designed to awaken your senses, hinting at the exciting journey ahead. Think delicate bites of expertly crafted ceviche, a testament to Peru’s coastal heritage.
The starters then delve into traditional Peruvian territory, featuring vibrant Causitas and succulent Octopus, each prepared with a contemporary flair that speaks to both chefs’ innovative approaches.
As the evening unfolds, prepare for the star attractions: the main courses. Expect the freshness of Red Snapper elevated with traditional Peruvian ingredients, and the comforting richness of Baby Chicken infused with unexpected and delightful flavors. Each dish is thoughtfully composed, a harmonious blend of textures and tastes designed to be shared and savoured.
But, the journey doesn’t end there. The grand finale is a dessert platter, a sweet symphony that beautifully encapsulates the essence of Peru. From creamy textures to unique fruit notes, it’s the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal.
Priced at AED 395 per person, including a welcome drink and water, this exceptional experience offers incredible value. For those seeking a deeper dive into the culinary landscape, a beverage pairing option (AED 595 per person) is available, featuring expertly selected cocktails, wines, and digestives to complement each course.
Served from 6:00 PM to 11:30 PM, there are no rigid seating times, allowing you to settle in and enjoy the experience at your own pace. However, with such an exclusive event, bookings are essential and require a minimum of two people. As the night progresses, the vibrant atmosphere will be further enhanced by a live DJ from 8:00 PM, followed by the captivating rhythms of a percussionist from 9:00 PM until 1:00 AM.
