MY BEST DINING EXPERIENCE WAS AT MALDIVES

DINING AT SONEVA GILI RESORT & SIX SENSES SPA
LANKAN FUSHI ISLAND, NORTH MALE ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF MALDIVES

By Rupali Dean

The creative skills of the food & beverage team sure provide one with an unforgettable experience. The style of food at the resort caters for all requirements and they place a strong emphasis on cuisines of both past and current trends. The multi-national brigade of chefs’ at the resort work as a team to produce a combination of dishes that allows east to meet the West in culinary terms. I noticed that every effort is made to find ingredients of the highest quality and have them delivered to the island as pure and fresh as they might have been served at their place of origin. With the organic vegetable garden, they compliment all menus with the freshest possible leaves and herbs. Also I guess they benefit from the abundance of fresh fish available in the Maldives.
To compliment the dining options, on offer is a wine list with an international content that covers many recognized and some unrecognized, wine producing countries in both hemispheres. This mixture of new world wines and French classics offers one the opportunity to fulfill the dining experience despite both cultural and climatic challenges.
I think the team looks forward to exceeding your expectations, and I wish there are more places like Soneva Gili Resort & Six Senses Spa. All in all Thumbs Up!
