Amuz Gourmet Restaurant invites the city’s discerning diners to celebrate Master Auguste Escoffier’s 175th birthday with a gala dinner.
On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the great master of French gastronomy, epicureans from all over the world will gather on the evening of 28 October to share the same menu, an ambition accompanied by an act of charity as was conceived 109 years ago by The Cook of Kings and King of the Cooks, Master Escoffier himself.
August Escoffier, born in 1846 in France, was the first chef, restaurateur and culinary writer to organize, categorize and standardize French cuisine and art of dining, thus modernizing French cuisine and elevating the profession. He worked in partnership with hotelier César Ritz, rising to prominence together at the Ritz hotel in Paris and then at the Carlton Hotel in London, which under his reign become the culinary epicentres of the world. For his tremendous achievements in promoting French gastronomy to the world, he was granted the title of Officer of the Legion of Honour by the President of France.
On 28 October, Amuz Gourmet Restaurant will celebrate the life of August Escoffier along with the Indonesian chapters of the Disciple Escoffier.
