In January, The Royal Club was founded by descendants of the oldest royal dynasties of Europe and the rest of the world. The Club’s headquarters are located at the Emerald Palace Kempinski Dubai. The Club will be holding philanthropic events under the patronage of the royal houses to lend a helping hand to those in need in the developing countries. I truly believe that the global elite will recognise this noble initiative, which will help to make the world a better place. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR F&B PROGRAM? HOW ARE YOU IMPLEMENTING NEW TRENDS? The Emerald Palace is synonymous with the very finest in Dubai. With such attention to detail, we called for Alain Ducasse, the most influential person in the modern gastronomy, to open his restaurant. Alain Ducasse is a living legend. His restaurants have already been awarded 21 Michelin stars - a world record. I am confident that his new restaurant will soon become one of the finest in Dubai. 10 ILHA Ultimately, we decided to mix different cuisines: South American with Asian, Middle Eastern with European. This mix is a wonderful combination of tastes, colours, smells, aesthetic dishes, all that we eat and drink here turns this restaurant into a unique place where you enjoy a unique experience. The other seven restaurants of the Emerald Palace are equally successful, each of them offering a unique modern dining experience. Developed in partnership with the renowned chef Chris Jaeckle, All’onda takes a fresh modern approach to traditional Italian food. Inspired by Venetian cuisine, which over the centuries was at the epicentre of the trade routes between East and West, Asian influences melt with Italian culinary traditions. Blüthner Hall presents a regal ambiance that is designed with care for epicurean experiences and exquisite afternoon teas, inspired by the great composers. Shimmering with gold leaf and offering unparalleled vistas of the Dubai Skyline, a Blüthner piano sets the tone for the gourmet menu.
