The Forest Banquet: A Soirée with Antoine Carême

Marie-Antoine Carême (1784-1833) was one of the world's first celebrity chefs and is renowned as the originator of haute cuisine, which he served to the likes of Napoleon, French gourmand-diplomat extraordinaire Talleyrand and King George IV. This banquet at the opulent Hotel Chinzanso is your chance to enjoy a full-on dinner prepared by a whopping 50 chefs and with Carême's recipes and methods. Faithfully recreating the surroundings of a royal feast, complete with the finest service and a carefully designed audiovisual world, this 'forest banquet' is the epitome of luxury – which is also reflected in the pricing. And as is to be expected, the dress code is 'formal'. Booking details in English can be found here.
