Chosun Hotel & Resort said on the 9th it will present a high-end dinner promotion in Seoul and Busan featuring a theme that respects the value of sustainable nature, inviting French Michelin two-star chef Stephane Carrade.
Chef Stephane Carrade is the head chef of "Le Skiff Club," which holds both two Michelin stars and the Michelin Green Star, awarded to restaurants that practice sustainability and environmental protection.
Le Skiff Club is a restaurant located inside the five-star hotel Ha(a)ïtza in Arcachon, a resort area near Bordeaux, France. It is known for offering refined French dining that respects ingredients and producers in the southern Aquitaine region.
The dinner will be held under the theme "Progressive Terroir," combining the heritage of Chosun Hotel with chef Stephane Carrade's culinary philosophy. It adds the local character and traditions of Seoul and Busan, along with modern elements, to French dining.
On the 21st, a dinner will be held at The Westin Josun Seoul's American wine & dine venue Nine's Gate, featuring an eight-course menu composed directly by chef Stephane Carrade with eight beverage pairings. Focusing on the "flavor closest to nature" that the chef pursues, the menu reflects locality and seasonality appropriately.
For the wine pairing, the producer "Château Poupille" from the Bordeaux region of France was selected. In particular, a vertical tasting featuring rare vintages from Château Poupille such as 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2010, as well as Château Haut Cardinal Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2012 served in magnum bottles, is included.
On the 23rd, a four-hands high-end dinner will take place against the backdrop of the Haeundae night view at the Korean restaurant "Syeobul" at The Westin Josun Busan. Chef Stephane Carrade and Syeobul's head chef will present an eight-course dinner with eight beverage pairings. Premium natural mineral water brand "Evian" participated as the main sponsor for this dinner.
A Chosun Hotel & Resort official said, "The culinary philosophy that chef Stephane Carrade pursues aligns with the values of nature, locality, and craftsmanship that Chosun Hotel & Resort aims for," adding, "We hope this culinary journey in Seoul and Busan will go beyond a simple event to become an opportunity to experience a new standard for sustainable high-end dining."
