Presenting bespoke dining experiences by some of the most acclaimed global names in the culinary universe, this popular gastronomic adventure returns to Mumbai as Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai hosts World Gourmet Festival 2019 in association with O’ Smart Natural Mixers. This annual festival, now in its third year, is spread over two weekends, from March 14 to 24 and is a one-of-a-kind occasion to experience high-end and never-before-seen concepts curated by Michelin-star chefs.
The festival will be an amalgamation of sit-down dinners, cocktail evenings, bar nights and more. This year’s roster of culinary masters include Chef Jason Tan of Corner House (Singapore), Chef Thitid Tassanakajohn of Le Du (Bangkok), Chef Rohit Ghai of multi-accolade winning restaurants such as Gymkhana, Jamavar and Kutir (London), Chef Kirk Westaway of Jaan (Singapore) and celebrity chef, Chef Manish Mehrotra of popular restaurant Indian Accent.
Each meal will be a sensorial extravaganza with innovative cuisines, the freshest and finest ingredients, flavours that entice the palate, plated almost as exquisitely as a work of art, and crafted by chefs extraordinaire. Also invited for the festival are some of the world’s leading bartending wizards to demonstrate their skills at creating vibrant cocktails. Orchestrating these bespoke beverage experiences over this weekend will be one of Asia’s finest mixologists — Agung Prabowo of The Old Man (#10 on World’s 50 Best Bars 2018). This World Gourmet Festival, people can enjoy handcrafted drinks concocted with O’ Smart Natural Mixers in four different varieties like Soda Water, Tonic Water, Light Tonic Water and Ginger Ale.
Chef Rohit Ghai has an impressive career track record of leading several Michelin-starred kitchens and is acknowledged as the fastest Indian Chef to win a Michelin star, having won a star for Jamavar, Mayfair, within 10 months of the restaurant’s opening. Talking about his association with the festival, Chef Ghai says, “My travels across India have found a place in my cooking and so, taking my recipes back home to the people of my country this March, feels like a homecoming of sorts. I’m stoked to be a part of World Gourmet Festival — it’s a one-of-its-kind event through which Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai is bringing forth bespoke dining experiences to gourmands in India, and I’m looking forward to introducing the city to a curated selection of offerings from my latest venture — Kutir.”
Since every little ingredient has a vital role to play in delivering the gourmet experience, the festival is supported by O’ Smart Natural Mixers. “Our products are crafted with specially chosen natural ingredients to deliver a perfectly balanced natural taste. We believe ‘Drink Smart, Mix Natural’ — a philosophy that aligns well with the expertise represented at the event,” says Jeevan Verma (Director, Narang Group). This Sunday (March 24), San:Qi, the award-winning Asian restaurant at the hotel gears up for a six-hand brunch curated and put together by the masterchefs along with Four Seasons’ Executive Chef Anupam Gulati. Gear up for an afternoon of gastronomic indulgence, crafted by Michelin-starred chefs, paired with delicious concoctions prepared by Agung Prabowo, and foot-tapping music by a live band.
