Sani Gourmet 2025

Since 2006, Sani Gourmet has curated an exquisite blend of cultures, flavours, and traditions from around the world, dedicating each year to a new gastronomic theme. This year, we eagerly welcome Michelin-starred pioneers of gastronomy—Yannick Alléno, Gaggan Anand, Virgilio Martínez, Daniel Boulud, and Emma Bengtsson—poised to captivate food enthusiasts throughout the season with their exclusive degustation menus inspired by their signature dishes, expertly enhanced by wine pairings. Utilising only the freshest produce, these celebrated chefs will dazzle with their culinary expertise, as Sani Gourmet offers guests a rare opportunity to savour menus crafted by these epicurean stars.​

With 17 Michelin stars to his name, Yannick Alléno is a titan of French cuisine. Known for his revolutionary approach to sauces and flavour extraction, he combines heritage with cutting-edge techniques. From Paris to Courchevel, his restaurants are synonymous with elegance and innovation. Signature dishes—such as langoustine with black truffle cream or millefeuille of Wagyu beef—reflect his scientific precision and emotional storytelling. A true visionary, he’s reshaped how haute cuisine is experienced.​

Chef Yannick Alléno will present an extraordinary tasting menu at Elia Restaurant on the 11th of July as part of Sani Gourmet 2025.

Virgilio Martínez has revolutionised Peruvian cuisine by connecting food to altitude, ecology and indigenous knowledge. At Central—named The World’s Best Restaurant in 2023—each dish maps a specific ecosystem, from sea level to the Andes. Co-founder of Mater Iniciativa, Martínez blends research and storytelling to transform native ingredients into edible journeys. His cuisine, both scientific and soulful, includes dishes like Amazonian fish with uva or short rib with oca and olluco. Bold, immersive and deeply rooted in place, his work honours the land and its people. At Sani Gourmet 2025, Chef Virgilio Martínez will host an exclusive dinner at Elia Restaurant on the first of August, exploring Peru’s culinary landscapes.

Emma Bengtsson is the first Swedish female chef to earn two Michelin stars and only the second woman in the US to do so. As Executive Chef of New York’s Aquavit, she has redefined Scandinavian fine dining, fusing tradition with modern precision. Originally a pastry chef, her savoury dishes—like North Sea cod with mussel foam or her iconic “Arctic​ Nest” dessert—showcase her delicate yet expressive style. Deeply committed to sustainability, simplicity and heritage, Bengtsson is an advocate for inclusion and imagination in the kitchen.​

As part of this year’s Sani Gourmet, Elia Restaurant will host an exclusive dinner with Chef Emma Bengtsson on the 22nd of August.​
