At Gastronomic Masterpieces, the artistry of these three chefs will be showcased through a seven-course menu that celebrates the finest premium ingredients, including Prunier caviar and exquisite produce from Jagota. Each dish is thoughtfully paired with world-class wines to elevate the dining experience further.
