Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi has hired Christophe Gavois as its new executive chef.
French native Christophe moves from his previous role of executive chef at Starwood’s Ajman Saray, A luxury Collection Resort.
Kamal Chaoui, general manager at Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi, said: “It is with great pleasure that I welcome Chef Christophe to the team. He brings with him such a wide range of global culinary and management skills which will be of great benefit to the continued growth of our diverse outlets.
“The thread running through my career as a chef is my passion for local products. I do not impose a particular style of cuisine but prefer to cook with what the region has to offer and exploit these natural resources and influences. However I never want this to become a gimmick on my menu creations which is why the local produce must be of the absolute highest quality.”
