2. Enjoy sumptuous dishes prepared by three great chefs

This is worth checking out as the chefs from Cut by Wolfgang Puck, db Bistro & Oyster Bar and Osteria Mozza have joined hands to create a five-course pescatarian dinner.

3. Pay tribute to the late, great chef Paul Bocuse

The culinary legend touched the lives of so many, including chef Daniel Boulud who apprenticed for him. It’s only fitting that chef Boulud's restaurant here pays tribute with a three-course dinner menu of chef Bocuse's iconic dishes, prepared by executive chef Jonathan Kinsella.

This includes the soup with truffles, one of his masterpieces served at a presidential event in France; pigeon, truffle and foie gras pithivier and a simple but delicious traditional apple tart tatin.
