The Bellevue Manila recently hosted the Scandinavian Food Festival, a semi-formal luncheon that brought guests to a gastronomic journey to the heart of Scandinavia.
The event, held at the hotel’s Alabang function room, was a delightful exploration of the best of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish cuisines. It was done under the brilliant leadership of The Bellevue Hotels and Resorts (BH&R) chairman Johnny Chan and his sons The Bellevue Manila
managing director Patrick Chan, B Hotels managing director Ryan Chan and The Bellevue Resort managing director Dustin Chan.
The hotel’s outstanding team of chefs, led by BH&R group executive chef Stephan Oppenhagen, crafted a mouthwatering assortment of Scandinavian dishes ranging from appetizers to main courses and desserts.
At the event, Danish Ambassador Jan Top Christensen charmed the guests with stories from his homeland.
Congratulations to The Bellevue Manila for a successful event! *
