View from the St Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort towards the Med

Eight chefs, with seven Michelin stars between them, are flying to Mallorca from countries as far away as Japan and Russia, to create one amazing gastronomic experience. Now a firm fixture on the foodie’s calendar, the 8th Culinary Safari takes place at the 5-star St Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort on Friday, July 20th, 2018.

Chefs are packing their whites and flying in from Tokyo, Moscow, Vienna, Paris, Barcelona, and Bergisch Gladbach (near Cologne), to join Markus Wonisch (executive chef at St Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort) and Miguel Navarro (chef of the latter hotel’s one-Michelin-star Es Fum restaurant) for the 8th Culinary Safari.

The event

This gourmet feast begins at 7.30pm with Champagne on the sea-view bar terrace, to the sounds of the saxophone. From there begins a culinary journey through the St Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort, where the eight chefs will offer tasty delights. The journey even takes you through the main kitchens – an experience I found fascinating when we went to one of these events in the past. The cuisine finishes with an irresistible dessert buffet (this is not a night for calorie-counting!).

And to drink?

What else? Wines from Mallorca, of course. A number of small bodega stalls will offer their finest wines during this event. Cocktail fans will appreciate the innovative creations of the renowned mixologist Rafa Martín from the Palma cocktail bar Brass Club.

Live music will play throughout the evening. It promises to be a good night out!

The price – including all drinks – is 209€ and places can be booked by phoning the hotel on +34 971 629 629.
