Leading Indian-Ocean resort brand, Atmosphere Hotels & Resort
will celebrate World Vegetarian Day at two of its Maldivian resorts
– Atmopshere Kanifushi and OBLU Select at Sangeli on 1st October 2019.
Both resorts offer dedicated vegetarian-only restuarants JUST
VEG and SIMPLY VEG that delight the pallete without the need for meat or
fish.
Vegetarianism is an increasingly popular lifestyle choice, with
one in eight Brits identifying as vegetarian or vegan and one in five choosing
to be "flexitarian" eating a largely vegetable-based diet with the occasional
inclusion of meat. This comes after numerous reports over the last few years
that suggest that avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way
consumers can reduce their impact on the planet.
Atmosphere Kanifushi was one step ahead of the curve, opening the
Maldives first purely vegetarian restaurant, JUST VEG, in 2013. Following
increased customer demand, OBLU Select at Sangeli, which opened in July 2018,
launched SIMPLY VEG, offering plant-based fine dining based on seasonal, local
ingredients.
Each restaurant redefines contemporary non-meat cuisine by
experimenting with original and surprising flavour combinations. Serving
mouth-watering Mediterranean, Arabic and Indian combinations and offering a
special menu specifically for Jain cuisine, guests leave with a new sense of
appreciation for vegetarian dining.
Chef Senthil Kumar says that guests often leave the restaurant
pleasantly surprised about how much they enjoyed their meals, despire the
absence of meat. He says: "I enjoy creating innovative and rustic meals that
feature fresh, quality ingredients. I love to push the boundaries and create
dishes that people might not expect to enjoy, but they are surprised at how
much they love it. More guests are seeking vegetarian and vegan options, and we
are delighted to be able to provide delicious options for them, without
skimping on quality or flavour."
The resort will be welcoming Italian Michelin-Star vegetarian cuisine chef,
Fabrizio Marino, to JUST VEG at Atmosphere Kanifushi in January 2020. Mr.
Marino, his Assistant Chef, and Manager will all visit JUST VEG and work with
the culinary team to share their superior vegetarian cuisine knowledge and
service skills over the course of a week.
Resort guests will have the opportunity to dine at JUST VEG which will feature
specially-designed menus by Mr. Marino and his team.
