Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche is set to host the internationally renowned masterchef Christophe Muller during the upcoming Gourmet Abu Dhabi festival.

Muller will head a four-day restaurant promotion at the La Mer seafood outlet from February 10 to 13, as part of the 16-day festival.

Nael El-Waary, general manager, Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche, said: “Christophe Muller is quintessentially the French cuisine master and it is an honour to have him work in our kitchens this coming February. His unique abilities are a clear reflection for being one of the few culinary recipients of the coveted Meilleurs Ouvriers de France which honours the finest craftsmen in the Republic.”

Muller, who leads the kitchen at the three-Michelin-star L’Auberge du Pont de Collonges – the Lyon gastronomic home of Paul Bocuse – will also headline a chateau dinner at the hotel on February 11 in conjunction with Domaine de Montille and Château de Puligny-Montrachet.

“It’s wonderful to come to Abu Dhabi for the renowned Gourmet Abu Dhabi festival and to be part of a celebration of good food among other chefs. La Mer restaurant will be transformed with my passion for French cuisine and it will be a privilege to cook for the UAE’s food aficionados and to share a bit of what I love with them,” added Muller.

La Mer is Abu Dhabi Corniche’s signature seafood restaurant with stunning views across the Arabian Gulf. - TradeArabia News Service
