The hotel’s restaurant, Ninth Gate Grille, presents six dinner courses by guest chef Thomas Buhner, the first German chef to be awarded three Michelin stars in Germany.

The six-course dinner, available on Nov. 2, starts with shrimps and yuja tea as amuse bouche, followed by marinated mackerel with wild sesame leaves, lobster Bolognese, Ogol chicken (Korean black chicken), Korean beef steak with smoked tofu and lychee sorbet.

Thomas Buhner is considered one of Germany’s leading chefs and known as at the vanguard of purist cuisine. His preparation relies on low temperatures to retain pure flavors. His restaurant “La Vie” in Osnabruck, in northwestern Germany, received three stars from Michelin in 2010 for the first time in Germany.

The special course dinner is available at a price of 600,000 won, excluding tax and service charges. For more information, call (02) 317-0366 or 0367.
