Waldorf Astoria RAK Hosts The Opening Chapter of “Chef’s on Tour”

Listen to this article

Heads up, foodies! Clear your calendars, loosen your belts, and prepare your taste buds for a night where luxury meets flavor in the most delicious way possible. On Friday, 2nd May 2025, the opulent Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah is rolling out the culinary red carpet for the grand opening night of “The Waldorf Chefs on Tour”—a dinner series so refined, your palate will probably send you a thank-you note.

Hosted at the iconic Lexington Grill & Bar, this exclusive, one-night-only soirée isn’t your regular dinner out—it’s the Oscars of gastronomy, where six top chefs from across Waldorf Astoria’s UAE portfolio (RAK, DIFC, and Dubai Palm Jumeirah) join forces to plate up a theatrical, multi-course tasting menu. Think amuse-bouches that flirt with your senses, mains that deserve a standing ovation, and a dessert so posh it literally wears edible gold.

The Lineup? Pure Culinary Stardom

Get ready to be wooed by the dream team:

• Chef Coetsee Croucamp from Waldorf Astoria DIFC (a maestro with flavor finesse)
• Chef Eli Fatmawardi of Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah (local legend alert!)
• Chef Ozden Erkmen, Executive Sous Chef at Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah (aka the plate poet)

Each chef brings their unique flair to the table, creating a symphony of textures and tastes—with locally sourced UAE-grown ingredients taking center stage like divas at curtain call.

Highlights Worth Drooling Over

• Classic Manti – Homemade lamb ravioli with garlic yogurt and sumac. Like grandma’s cooking, but make it gourmet.
• Pan-fried Seabass – Kissed by citrus, courted by pomegranate, and destined to dazzle.
• Wagyu Beef by Suma Gourmet – Four takes on UAE potatoes and a flirtatious grape pairing from the house of Frescobaldi.
• Valrhona Chocolate Jivara Dessert – A chocolate-mango-hazelnut-gold finale that’s basically edible treasure.

Oh, and did we mention the focus on zero-waste cooking and sustainability? This dinner isn’t just indulgent—it’s conscious, too.
