Events

This August, culinary worlds converge in an exclusive two-night journey of nature, heritage and gastronomy as the flavours of Amalfi meet Michelin-starred innovations from Vienna. On 7 and 8 August, diners are invited to join two visionary Anantara chefs: Claudio Lanuto, Executive Chef of Dei Cappuccini, the fine-dining destination at Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel, and Paul Gamauf, Head Chef of EDVARD, the Michelin-starred restaurant at Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel.

These two culinary masters bring their unique perspectives together for an exclusive 4-hands dinner in an unforgettable location. Set on a terrace suspended above the Mediterranean, Dei Cappuccini Restaurant is surrounded by history. What was once a 13th-century Capuchin convent is now the convergence point of history, hospitality, and haute cuisine.  Though their kitchens are shaped by different landscapes, both chefs are united by a respect for place, product and purpose. From Vienna, Chef Paul Gamauf brings a philosophy shaped by the rhythms of nature. His innovative creations at EDVARD blend low-waste practices, fermentation, and precise technique, resulting in menus that are both sustainable and sensational. With a reverence for regionality and a commitment to excellence, Chef Paul’s dishes surprise and soothe in equal measure.  From Amalfi, Chef Claudio Lanuto presents a culinary style rooted in tradition and terroir. Inspired by the ingredients of Campania and the time-honoured recipes passed down through generations, his cooking speaks of local waters, convent gardens, and the stories that linger in the air of this sacred site. Together, they present a menu that reflects the soul of Anantara – a blend of local connection and global refinement, of authenticity and artistry.
