Michelin-Starred Mastery Comes to Galle Face Hotel: Chef Serge Chenet Hosts an Exclusive Showcase

1864 Limited Edition, the signature fine dining restaurant at the iconic Galle Face Hotel, will host L’EXPÉRIENCE FRANÇAISE — a refined à la carte lunch and dinner experience led by Michelin-starred French Chef Serge Chenet.

A celebrated figure in French gastronomy, Chef Serge Chenet brings to Colombo a culinary legacy that spans over five decades. His journey began in Reims, followed by early training under legendary French masters such as Joël Robuchon, Georges Blanc, and Michel Rostang. Over the years, he earned multiple Michelin stars, including at Château de Rochegude and Entre Vigne et Garrigue, the acclaimed family-run establishment he created in the South of France. In 1993, he was awarded the prestigious title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France, a national recognition of excellence in craftsmanship.

For three days only, guests at 1864 Limited Edition will be invited to savour an exclusive menu that reflects the elegance, complexity, and emotion of modern French cuisine, prepared à la minute by a chef who has devoted his life to its mastery. Each dish will feature seasonal ingredients, delicate technique, and a profound respect for the traditions of the French table — all served within the refined setting of one of Colombo’s most distinguished dining venues.

Adding to the ambiance, renowned jazz band Trio Topaz will perform live each evening, elevating the atmosphere with soulful rhythms and timeless melodies.

A special promotion of 20% off is available for NTB Amex and NTB Master credit cardholders during this exclusive culinary celebration.

Chef Chenet’s visit is part of 1864 Limited Edition’s ongoing commitment to bringing world-class culinary experiences to Sri Lanka, celebrating global excellence while creating moments of true gastronomic distinction.
