A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Indian gourmets, Culinary Culture, and The Leela Palace New Delhi present Osteria Francescana, rated as the Two-Time World No.1 restaurant by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants and helmed by celebrity chef and philanthropist Massimo Bottura.
Bottura and his team will travel to New Delhi for the first time to re-create the magic of their Three Michelin-starred restaurants from Modena, Italy at the Leela Palace New Delhi on the 21st & 22nd of April 2023.
Massimo Bottura, the Italian maestro chef, widely known for his innovative approach to Italian cuisine was included as part of Time Magazine’s World’s 100 most influential people list and is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
A key ingredient in Massimo’s food is the underlying social and environmental consciousness imbued in every dish he serves.
As founder of a Non-Profit organization called ‘Food for Soul’, Bottura leverages his global platform to advocate for a reduction of food waste and protection of the environment and biodiversity through sustainable cooking practices and ingredient sourcing.
His commitment to sustainability echoes the eco-aware values championed by The Leela.
Osteria Francescana, the 12-table restaurant he started in Modena in 1995, is widely recognized as one of the most difficult restaurant reservations in the world with waiting lists than go into the thousands.
The restaurant was awarded the title of ‘The World’s Best Restaurant’ on two occasions in 2016 and 2018 by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants.
The special menu created for New Delhi will feature vegetarian and non-vegetarian renditions of Bottura’s signature and most iconic dishes such as ‘Oops I Dropped the Lemon Tart’, ‘The Crunchy Part of the Lasagne’ and ‘Psychedelic Cod Not Flame Grilled’ amongst others.
In the lead-up to the dinners, Bottura will also host an invite-only interactive session, where he will be in conversation with Vir Sanghvi, India’s leading food authority.
During his last visit to India, Bottura wowed lucky diners in Mumbai with his spectacular rendition of Osteria Francescana and now Delhi can experience the genius of the world’s greatest chef.
With very limited seats available, guests are advised to reserve their experience for this extraordinary event priced at INR 55,555 plus taxes per person, to be held on the 21st and 22nd of April 2023.
