Whether haute cuisine, culinary art or love for food; gastronomy plays an important part for world travelers seeking to experience a new culture through its flavors and traditions. Maître Cuisinier de France, Chef Michel Mustière – who leads the collection of restaurants and fine dining experience at Velas Resorts – seems to understand this premise perfectly.
He has recently launched a new project involving twenty or so chefs under his command, to interpret, yes, interpret, culinary creations which are authentic works of art (a delight for the eye!) while providing a unique dining experience.
