Jumeirah Beach Hotel hosts Galvin brothers' pop-up

Jumeirah Beach Hotel is set to host a pop-up restaurant created especially for Jumeirah by star chefs The Galvin Brothers.

From October 24-30, 2013, hotel guests can dine at the  Villa Beach restaurant and sample the ‘Guest of the Galvins’ tasting menu. Jeff Galvin, known along with his brother Chris for their quality French cuisine, will create a selection of five starters, five main courses and five desserts. Alongside Jeff in the kitchen will be Galvin La Chapelle head chef Zac Whittle.

Jeff Galvin said: “I am thrilled to be travelling to Dubai to host this much anticipated pop up restaurant and proud to be partnering with the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. French food, lovingly prepared is our passion, and it will be great to share this experience with diners in the Middle East as well as share some tips with them so that they can go away and cook at home.”

A private cooking class will then be held for hotel guests on October 27 by the brothers at the SunDeck Lounge in Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

General manager Mahmoud Sakr said: “At Jumeirah Beach Hotel, it has long been our pleasure to amaze our guests with some of the finest food in Dubai. Now, by welcoming the talented Jeff Galvin and Zac Whittle, we are proud to also introduce our visitors to the finest in French dining."

The Galvin Restaurants are a family-run collection of seven French restaurants founded in 2005 and include Bistro de Luxe and Le Cellar bar in Marylebone and Galvin La Chapelle and Café a Vin in Spitalfields in London.
