Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena Bansko will surprise gourmet lovers with a culinary event unlike Bulgaria has ever seen before at the fine dining Come Prima Restaurant on 20 and 21 March 2020. Five legendary chefs with a total of nine Michelin stars will show their passion and put on an incredible cooking show in the open kitchen of the Mediterranean restaurant of the deluxe hotel in the Bulgarian mountains.
The top chefs will be serving an exquisite six-course menu on both Friday and Saturday nights. Each of the five chefs will prepare one course and one course will be created by all the chefs combined. The dinners will be paired with top French and Italian wines and champagnes courtesy of long-time hotel partner BNK company, a local market leader and importer of Europe's most valuable brands. At lunch on 21 March the chefs will demonstrate their master skills in the VIP Room restaurant located on Bundersihka polyana next to the ski slopes.
The fantastic five includes French master chefs Jacques Pourcel, Thierry Drapeau, Joël Césari, Jean-Baptiste Natalie and Spanish chef Sergi Arola.
Pourcel is a chef who likes to get things moving. Audacious, he is a man of words. The famous restaurant of the Pourcel brothers, Le Jardin des Sens, has three Michelin stars. Purveyors of Mediterranean tastes and emotions and creators of concepts, they do not claim any influences and like to share their passion.
Originally from Vendée, Drapeau’s cuisine mixes flavours from the regions of France he visited during his career. Thierry knows how to seduce with a beautiful, rich and inventive local cuisine served in his two-Michelin-star restaurant and hotel in St-Sulpice-le-Verdon.
Executive chef and owner of the Michelin-starred La Chaumière hotel-restaurant in Dole, Césari’s cooking combines traditional produce with a modern style. He cultivates the unconventional and carefully designs each plate. Chef Césari chooses the best products for his customers, not only from Jura, but from around the world.
With solid international experience and some impressive references, Natalie became the youngest chef to be awarded a Michelin star for his restaurant Hostellerie La Montagne in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises. His signature style is inspired by wild flavours. His vocation in life: tastes storyteller.
Renowned for the creative cuisine at his restaurant ‘LAB By Sergi Arola’ in Sintra, Arola stands out in the culinary scene thanks to his passion for music. Guitarist in a Spanish rock group, he’s also known as a ‘rock-star chef’.
In addition to this outstanding event, the hotel will continue its culinary tradition of organising themed dinners at the Mediterranean restaurant Come Prima, dedicated to different national cuisines. The concept of culinary travel around the world was launched a year and a half ago, and so far the hotel has pleased its guests with the tastes of Tuscany, France, Spain, Switzerland, Sardinia, Russia, Bulgaria, Malta, Provence and Japan. The culinary magic continues on 18 January with a new Tuscany evening, followed by a seafood themed dinner on 22 February and a modern Bulgarian night on 7 March.
