A remarkable evening of culinary artistry awaits Dubai’s fine dining aficionados as The Luminary Set and Gault&Millau’s Masters Series present an exclusive six-course dinner at City Social. Taking place on Friday, May 23rd, this landmark collaboration will see celebrated chefs Jason Atherton and Paco Pérez blend their culinary philosophies in a narrative infused with elemental inspirations of fire and water.

Hosted on the 43rd floor of Grosvenor House, City Social offers the perfect sky-high setting for this rare encounter. Guests will be immersed in a menu that reflects the chefs’ distinctive styles—Atherton’s flame-forged boldness meets Pérez’s Mediterranean finesse in a series of courses that are as expressive as they are precise. From ‘Caviar Velvet’ and Sea Bass “Seabed” to Shortrib with pickled ginger polenta and a Miso & Sesame dessert, the menu transforms technique into storytelling.


This is the fourth chapter of the Gault&Millau Masters Series, a prestigious platform created to spotlight the world’s most compelling culinary voices.
