FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you cater for properties across the entire Palm?
Yes, Chef Savin provides his services across the Fronds, the Crescent, and the Signature Villas alike. The chef adapts seamlessly to your specific kitchen layout and brings all necessary specialist culinary equipment with him.
Is it possible to host the dinner on a terrace or by the pool?
Yes, perfectly so, subject to seasonal weather conditions. Al fresco dining is beautifully suited to the Palm; the chef designs the menu to ensure each course retains its perfect temperature, finishing the most delicate technical elements indoors immediately before service.
How far in advance should I secure a booking?
For high-season periods, such as UAE National Day, the festive holidays, and Ramadan or Eid, we recommend booking six to ten weeks in advance. For all other dates, please get in touch to discuss current availability.
