Our first event in the series, “The Chefs Experience” was held in the middle of May on the Rooftop of ME Ibiza Hotel. A Chef’s Table was set up directly beside the kitchen counter for this evening. Here, in front of the guests, the dishes of the six course menu were personally prepared by head chef Juan Hely and explained by Maitre d’ Acorán Perez. Along with his team, Head Barkeeper Álvaro Martín created the cocktails to go with it. A sensation! They were the perfect match, complementing one another superbly. In the guests’ unanimous opinion, it was a symphony of flavours such as they had never experienced before. They almost could not bring themselves to destroy the exquisite culinary creations.
Perhaps you can imagine the creative collaboration between Juan Hely and Álvaro Martín from the menu sequence depicted.
In order to make it an experience for all the senses, the dinner was accompanied by music. DJane Leah Schultz and the singer Mimi Barber offered mellow bar music.
