Doris Greif,
General Manager, Jumeirah at Etihad Towers, said: “We are all so proud
of our culinary, food and beverage teams. From the outset it was always
envisaged that Jumeirah at Etihad Towers would not only be a centre for
culinary celebration in Abu Dhabi, but a visionary and exciting gourmet
capital for the whole region. It is very humbling that the general
public and aficionados of the epicurean world have recognised us in this
way, and we appreciate and respect the responsibilities that come with
these accolades. We hope those outside of Abu Dhabi will visit for a
gourmet getaway to taste and judge for themselves if our assertion of
‘Gourmet Capital within the Capital’ is justified.”
