One&Only Reethi Rah's TAPASAKE Welcomes Michelin-Starred Chef Jaume for Exclusive Four-Hands Dinner
TAPASAKE Maldives is the signature destination dining restaurant at One&Only Reethi Rah and will welcome for the first time Michelin-starred Chef Jaume for an exclusive four-hands dinner with the resident Chef de Cuisine Ahmed Jameel.

Alongside the restaurant in the Maldives, TAPASAKE also operates internationally in Dubai, Mauritius, and Montenegro.

Instinctively sensitive to the harmony of his creations and with a keen attention to detail, Chef Jaume brings freshness from the season, sourced locally, right to refined dishes that evoke a strong sense of place and authenticity.
