Two of the most formidable names in Dubai’s gastronomic landscape are joining forces for a strictly limited culinary event. Chef Reif Othman and Chef Hadrien Villedieu have announced an exclusive “four-hands” dinner, promising a fusion of Singaporean-Japanese precision and Parisian-inspired flair.

Part of the newly launched Coolabs series—a play on “cool collaborations”—the event will see the two chefs share a single kitchen to push the boundaries of culinary creativity. The 300-word news article details that the eight-course feast will take place on Thursday, 6 June and Friday, 7 June at TERO (The Experience by Reif Othman), located in the Dubai Hills Business Park.

A Meeting of Mastery

The partnership brings together two heavyweights recently honored at the FACT Dining Awards Dubai. Chef Hadrien’s Chez Wam was crowned “Best Newcomer – Fine Dining,” while TERO secured “Favourite Newcomer – Fine Dining.” Chef Reif himself holds the distinction of being FACT’s inaugural “Chef of the Year.”

• Chef Hadrien Villedieu: Hailing from Paris, Hadrien infuses his French-rooted techniques with global influences from Morocco to St. Barts.
• Chef Reif Othman: A Singaporean icon in the region, Reif’s legacy spans from Zuma to his acclaimed homegrown concepts like Hoe Lee Kow and Reif Japanese Kushiyaki.

The Exclusive Experience

The dinner is designed for intimacy, hosted at TERO’s exclusive 12-seater chef’s table. With two seatings per night at 6pm and 9pm, only 24 diners per evening will witness the duo in action. Each chef will present four signature dishes, culminating in an eight-course journey priced at AED 888 per person.

Given the limited seating and the high-profile nature of the collaboration, organizers urge food enthusiasts to secure reservations immediately to avoid missing what is set to be the dining event of the season.
