Firas El-Borji
The culinary creations of Oriental Chef de Cuisine Firas El-Borji were an instant hit, with a unique combination of flavours that wowed both our Lebanese and Arabic guests – including the royal families of several Arabic countries – and guests from other countries who enjoy oriental cuisine.
Firas El-Borji’s cuisine is inspired by the seemingly endless flavours of the Middle East. He uses exotic spices and the very best olive oil, both sourced from his native Lebanon, to create truly authentic dishes – and he prepares each dish with the same extraordinary attention to detail. This is evident not only in the exquisite flavours he creates, but also in their truly stunning appearance.
