With an oceanic colour palette alongside a menu infused with
the flavours of Executive Sous Chef Daniele Millianis Tuscan childhood, Four
Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa brings the best of the Med to the
Maldives at its newly renovated Reef Club.
Recalling the familial warmth and laidback vibe of Europes
southern coast, the new Reef Club blends sea breezes, expansive views and ocean
music with local seafood and Italian culinary expertise to create a recipe for
a new kind of Maldivian dining: a place to gather with friends and family to
enjoy fine al fresco feasting, Mediterranean style, in a gorgeous all-embracing
setting.
Four areas invite guests to create their own ambience: a
tree-shaded ocean-edge garden with soft sand underfoot; a romantic waters edge
deck under the stars; beneath arches where mosaics and artful Italian furniture
imbue the feel of a cozy beachside restaurant; or at stools pulled up at the
Reef Club bar, where meticulously crafted cocktails combine Mediterranean
aromatics and fragrant tropical flair.
The menu is equally infused with the love and warmth of a culture
where coming together to celebrate food is second nature. Inspired by Executive
Sous Chef Danieles childhood on a farm in Tuscany where organic methods were
tradition not trend dishes are infused with authentic vibrancy, from his
grandmothers fragrant meatballs to signature classics such as fritto
misto, toothfish with couscous, and tiramisu.
"Its such a thrill to open the doors to the revamped Reef
Club," comments Chef Daniele, who joined the team in September 2019. "Looking
out over the ocean and being able to share authentic Italian flavours is pure
joy to me. My style blends modern techniques, family recipes and meticulously
sourced ingredients to recreate the taste of my childhood memories. Being able
to present them in such a surreally beautiful environment only enhances the
sensorial experience."
Whether refueling after a mornings poolside lounging with a
light bistro lunch, feasting on the finest wood-fired pizza or sipping on craft
cocktails at sunset, Reef Club captures the essence of refined wining and
dining with a healthy side of la dolce vita.
