He aims to provide guests with a delightful and engaging dining experience alongside Four Seasons Hotel Bosphorus Executive Chef Görkem Özkan.

Chef Soenil's menu promises a thrilling gastronomic adventure with six meticulously crafted courses. Highlights include halibut, prepared using his unique methods, featuring marinated fillets grilled to perfection. This will be followed by a luxurious dish combining marble-like wagyu beef with exquisite caviar. For a sweet finale, guests will enjoy Chef Soenil's signature rendang, paired with a refreshing ginger beer sorbet, and a special dessert crafted by Executive Chef Görkem Özkan.
