Atmosphere Kanifushi, situated in Lhaviyani Atoll in the Maldives, will hold its first JUST VEG Week from 20th to 26th January 2020.
During this week, Italian Chef Fabrizio Marino, a ‘grand chef for haute vegetarian cuisine’, and Pankaj Walia, Chef of Atmosphere Kanifushi invite guests to experience a very unique vegetarian experience at the resort!
Chef Fabrizio Marino, has had a brilliant career in Italian natural haute cuisine and recently opened his own brand new restaurant, “Ristorante Maggese” in San Miniato/Pisa. He has worked for many years with the well-known Chef Pietro Leemann, who gained the first Michelin Star for a vegetarian restaurant in 2015. Fabrizio is known for a fun, rhythmic and playful table that offers a continuous exchange of traditional and modern food. Dishes with luxury simplicity surprise with unexpected and unusual flavours. His journey took him through many countries worldwide, where he discovered the haute vegetarian cuisine.
“For me, JUST VEG is an incredible restaurant in the Maldives, with a different, joyful and experimental cuisine and culture. A vegetarian gastronomical heart, in the middle of the Indian Ocean.”, says Fabrizio Marino.
Chef Pankaj mentioned, while announcing the first JUST VEG Week at Atmosphere Kanifushi: “Normally we don’t have Michelin Stars in the Maldives. For one week we do – and with one of the top chefs for the vegetarian cuisine! This will be so exciting for our guests but also for us!”
