Chef Jean-Georges to Make Special Appearance at The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort for Intimate Four-Course Dinner, Celebrating 25 years of DUNE by Jean-Georges

The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, is welcoming back Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten to the island for a special celebratory dinner on February 20, 2025. The dinner will celebrate 25 years of DUNE by Jean-George, which since its 2000 opening, has set the stage for a fine dining experience with an island twist. In addition to the delicious menu of Chef’s global favourites from his worldwide travels, DUNE’s location perched atop a white sand bluff offering a dramatic ocean view, has made it a cherished dining destination for guests and locals alike.

“Twenty-five years—a quarter-century of DUNE—wow! We’re beyond excited to return to the beautiful Bahamas and celebrate this milestone with our incredible team,” says Vongerichten. “From our first service in 2000 to our upcoming anniversary dinner, we’ve loved coming together with guests - many of whom have become family - friends, and our team to share special moments over a great meal. The DUNE team at The Ocean Club holds a special place in my heart, having been part of my professional journey for 25 years now. The friendships we’ve built with our purveyors and partners, the talent we’ve nurtured and grown over the years, the ingredients we’ve explored and shared with our guests … it’s all been a labour of love. We’ve built such a strong community and we’re deeply humbled by the unwavering support from everyone over the years. Here’s to 25 more years to come!”

Guests are in for a delightful evening, as Jean-Georges will offer a tantalizing upscale menu using the freshest ingredients. This event will surely be a memorable experience, as guests will have the opportunity to interact with Jean-Georges and experience his renowned cuisine while toasting to 25 years of DUNE.

“It’s amazing that DUNE is celebrating 25 years of delivering an extraordinary dining experience,” notes John Conway, General Manager of The Ocean Club. “When Chef Jean-Georges himself comes to The Ocean Club, it’s always an exciting time for our guests. He is a legend in the culinary industry, a true talent, and an inspiration to our culinary team. We look forward to this memorable evening in celebration of our signature restaurant, DUNE by Jean-Georges.”

Tarek Cheneir, Director of Food and Beverage for The Ocean Club, adds, “An evening with Jean-Georges is always an event not-to-be-missed.”
