Alongside fine wines and craft sakes, The GREAT Wine & Dine Festival also features a line-up of some of the world’s best gourmet dining concepts. Besides three of Resort World Sentosa’s very own celebrity chefs showcasing festival-exclusive gourmet delights, the resort is proud to present L.A.’s cult favourite, Lobsterdamus, for the first time in Singapore.

LOBSTERDAMUS
Here in Singapore for the very first time, LA’s cult favourite, Lobsterdamus, will most certainly make a splash. At the festival, they will be replicating their rich, buttery goodness drizzled on blanched lobster meat that has brought countless hungry customers through their doors in the US.

FRATELLI TRATTORIA
From heritage Lombardy recipes and the techniques of the legendary Cerea brothers, come Italian selections you won’t find anywhere else in Singapore. Enjoy festival specials made with imported ingredients like crispy Focaccia Genovese with Puglia’s Burrata cheese and Carpegna Prosciutto; homemade Gnocchetti in a scrumptious mixed seafood ragout; and slow roasted Spanish pork belly served with Marsala sauce and truffle mashed potatoes.

TABLE 65
Presenting their take on modern European cuisine, the maestros from table65 invite guests to put the fun back into food. For the festival, they’ll be incorporating locally-sourced ingredients with their contemporary methods, promising your palate an explosion of flavours, with dishes like Pomfret Ceviche with passionfruit, coconut and kaffir lime; Roast Duck Breast with berries, sauce royale and oxalis; and Foie Gras, seaweed and ginger broth and umeboshi.

TEPPAN BY CHEF YONEMURA
Sample the art of the teppanand exquisite French-Japanese cuisine by Chef Yonemura. Strips of top-grade wagyuand other premium ingredients are masterfully prepared before your eyes. Festival exclusives not to be missed include Grilled Beef Steak Sandwich drizzled with a luscious Japanese BBQ sauce, smoky Grilled Seafood with healthy couscous salad, aromatic Smoked Duck Miso Rice Cake and more.
