IDAM by Alain Ducasse (IDAM) has concluded a two-day collaboration with Guillaume Galliot, Executive Chef at the three-MICHELIN-starred Caprice in Hong Kong. Galliot joined forces with IDAM’s Executive Chef, Fabrice Rosso, to present a menu of French haute cuisine with South Asian influences.
In partnership with Qatar Tourism, the collaboration celebrated the highest level of gastronomic mastery and creativity. Galliot is one of very few chefs to have achieved the most prestigious culinary honour in the world; he earned Caprice its third MICHELIN star in 2019 (retaining it ever since), an award so uncommon that fewer than 1% of all MICHELIN-rated restaurants achieve it. Rosso (who gained IDAM a MICHELIN star in 2025) and Gaillot together in the kitchen was an extremely rare and special opportunity for diners to experience cooking at this exceptional standard.
Across lunch and dinner, guests enjoyed a menu of dishes integrating aromatic Asian elements, including Galliot’s signature laksa with king crab and sudachi lime; line-caught fish in a seafood consommé with timut pepper; and wagyu beef served with zucchini flower and summer sauce.
“Having Chef Galliot cook alongside me and my team was a privilege”, said Rosso. He added: “we aim to spotlight world-class talent and foster cross-cultural creativity through our collaborations at IDAM, and these two days have been an incredible example of that.”
Galliot agreed: “It was a pleasure to be in Qatar. It’s always inspiring to experience new cultures and to work with new ingredients.” He enjoyed the opportunity to explore the city’s food landscape too, adding “Doha’s culinary scene is incredibly dynamic!”
IDAM’s collaboration with Chef Guillaume Galliot was the latest in a series designed to challenge convention and reimagine modern dining. These events are part of IDAM’s commitment to excellence and innovation, reaffirming its position at the forefront of fine dining in Doha.
Qatar Tourism played a pivotal role in supporting and promoting this extraordinary culinary collaboration. Their involvement reflects their ongoing mission to champion Qatar as a premier destination for world-class gastronomy and cultural experiences, and Doha as a global hub for both.
