Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort proudly announces a standalone culinary experience this November, welcoming The World’s Best Pastry Chef for an exclusive weekend only.
From 15-17 November 2024, Chef Will Goldfarb, visiting from his revolutionary Room4Dessert restaurant in Ubud, Bali, will present a bespoke seven-course sweet and savoury amuse-bouche tasting menu, paired with exquisite beverages, at The Lotus Lounge. This rare and unmissable event promises an unparalleled dining experience for a limited number of guests.
This Dubai showcase offers just 40 guests per evening the rare chance to experience Goldfarb's visionary talent up close. It's an unmissable opportunity to witness firsthand why he was named The World's Best Pastry Chef. Guests can expect a one-of-a-kind tasting experience by the acclaimed pastry provocateur, who is known for his boundary-pushing desserts and quirky sense of humour.
Chef Goldfarb’s inventive flair, which shines through creations like his avant-garde "Chocobubbles 4 Evah" and thought-provoking "The Sugar Refinery," brings whimsy and intellectual depth to dessert. His work often blends local ingredients with a playful yet refined approach, making each dish a story on its own. Known as the "Prince of Pastry" for his daring techniques, Goldfarb is as comfortable pushing boundaries as he is making guests smile. His Room4Dessert restaurant in Ubud, Bali, is the ultimate destination for dessert lovers, where each plate is equal parts artistic expression and culinary genius.
A culinary trailblazer with over 30 years of experience in the world’s most celebrated kitchens, Chef Will began his journey to stardom by training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. He has worked with renowned chefs all over the globe from Gerard Mulot in Paris to Fabio Picchi in Florence and Tetsuya Wakuda in Sydney. After breaking into the international elite while serving at the legendary El Bulli in Spain with Ferran Adrià, Chef Will returned home to New York where he wowed diners and critics at Papillon, Morimoto and Cru.
In 2006, Chef Will opened the original Room4Dessert at 17 Cleveland Place, New York, a tasting menu restaurant devoted to desserts which has become his signature innovation. Accolades for his work include being named among the 10 Best Pastry Chefs in America by Pastry Art and Design, receiving the Starchef ‘Rising Star’ award, and earning a James Beard nomination for Best Pastry Chef in America.
