The main highlight of the exquisite five-course dinner night at Les Turquoise D’Aqua restaurant will be the artfully created dishes with bold flavours combined with the culinary craftsmanship and wine expertise of the chefs. The planned menu has been beautifully paired with quality wines curated by the resort’s head sommelier, Joseph Christopher.

Käppeler now owns a restaurant named Restaurant Showroom in Munich, known as the culinary show for all the senses and described as a haven for gourmet lovers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21901″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Speaking about his unique approach to gastronomy, Chef Dominik Käppeler said. “You think eel, banana, mustard and Stilton don’t go together? Oh, but they do, it’s all about aroma pairing. Let your palate decide whether it tastes good, not your head!”

Lily Beach Resort & Spa Executive Chef Lionel Pean commented on Chef Dominik Käppeler, “With his visions and impressive menus, Dominik has secured himself to be amongst the crème de la crème in the culinary world of his generation.

His 3-star Michelin restaurant exposures with widely renowned chefs such as Michel Guérard, Gérald Passédat and Alain Senderens has led him to gain a rich level of confidence and perspective of the culinary world.
