With one Michelin star, Blue by Alain Ducasse reflects Chef Hocquet's culinary philosophy rooted in seasonal ingredients and a pursuit of perfection. Influenced by French tradition, his imaginative cooking seamlessly blends premium French products with local delicacies, crafting exceptional culinary creations. 

Following this remarkable event, Rumari will continue with a second four-hand dinner on January 26 and 27, 2024. The spotlight will be on Chef Paulo Airaudo from the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Amelia in San Sebastian, Spain.

This is created from the finest, fresh ingredients from the Basque Country and around the world, offering a unique blend of flavours and textures for guests.
