A live, science-rooted, story-driven dining experience. Seven courses. One concept. Every detail by design.
What we deliver
The Culinary Series is a category of its own — a live sensory theatre where food is the script, the kitchen is the stage, and guests are simultaneously audience, participant, student, and social being.
Every menu is built on molecular flavor affinity. Culinary intelligence made edible — grounded in gastronomic science, not intuition alone.
A menu can begin from a theme, an ingredient, a story, or a culinary timeline. The concept always comes before the cook.
Chef Antonio cooks in full view. Guests can approach the station, observe closely, ask what's in the sauce. No black box. Full transparency.
When each course arrives, Chef Antonio steps to the table and tells the story — concept, technique, inspiration, pairing logic. You leave knowing more.
Every guest fills a mandatory pre-booking form. Dietary needs, preferences, allergies. No guest feels like a number. The experience is always tailored.
Jessica designs the world the food lives in. The light, the table, the spatial arrangement — nothing is accidental. You'll notice the care before you sit down.
Guest Voices
An amazing Culinary Experience by all means. An invitation we will always cherish. An evening of fun, laughter and great food like no other. You can easily see the passion in his eyes — this Cook is in love with what he does. You can feel it in your taste buds. Life is beautiful.
This is my second time attending. I can still savor the taste of his exceptional dishes. This has been an educational, interactive, and beautiful experience. The series 'La Cuisine au Fil du Temps' is an unforgettable experience — we traveled back in time with the chef's guidance and meticulously arranged dining adventure.
A truly exceptional dining experience. The flavors, presentation and the story behind every dish were all top-notch. Chef Antonio added an innovative touch to each creation. A must-try for food lovers.
The dinner was absolutely perfect, and the ambiance was incredible. Every detail — from the delicious food to the thoughtfully curated atmosphere — made for an unforgettable evening. The service was impeccable. I can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.
The location in the garden is perfect — you enjoy a beautiful summer breeze while mouthwatering creations are prepared live in front of you. The culinary series is a pride for the Lebanese culinary experience, bringing a new concept with honestly Michelin potential given the quality and imaginable creativity. I don't have to travel to Europe when the series are on.
The Creators
The Food
Antonio grew up surrounded by food — and never stopped asking why things taste the way they do. His cooking is rooted in Arab and Mediterranean flavors, shaped by French technique, and informed by the science of molecular flavor pairing. Self-taught with professional refinement, he has spent years experimenting, learning, and connecting with celebrated chefs worldwide.
His menu creation draws on "The Art and Science of Food Pairing". Every pairing is intentional. Every dish is a statement.
Fusion, but not confusion.
The Mood
Interior architect, experience designer, brand creator, and sensory storyteller. Jessica designs the world the food lives in — spatial atmosphere, table architecture, brand identity, and the feeling that greets you before a single dish arrives.
With over a decade across design, hospitality, and entrepreneurship, she bridges aesthetic vision and operational precision. She sees the room as a canvas. Every evening is designed, not decorated.
The mood starts before you sit down.
The food. The mood.
The Series
Every episode is built around a single concept and never repeated. Seats are limited. Each evening is a live performance — different guests, different connections, the same commitment to every detail.
