Michelin-Starred Chef Giorgio Servetto to Lead Underwater Dining Events at Atmosphere Core
An upcoming culinary collaboration in the Maldives will feature double Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Servetto, who will present a series of dining experiences focused on environmentally conscious cuisine. Hosted in partnership with Atmosphere Core, the events will take place in two underwater restaurants and centre on a concept described as “Garden-to-Sea Immersion”, reflecting principles of circular cuisine and reduced waste.
