Palazzo Versace Macau's renowned Don Alfonso 1890 restaurant is celebrated for introducing the city’s discerning diners to the rich culinary traditions and flavours of southern Italy. Never one to rest on its laurels, the establishment played host to a collaborative culinary event with the Michelin-starred German restaurant Sühring, of Bangkok, in June.
The collaboration, Chefs’ Table: A Symphony of Senses—Don Alfonso 1890 and Sühring, which took place on 21 and 22 June, was presented by SJM Resorts, which operates Palazzo Versace Macau, and brought diners a tantalising fusion of signature dishes from the renowned Don Alfonso 1890 and the acclaimed Bangkok restaurant. Don Alfonso 1890’s head chef Federico Pucci join forces with chefs Thomas and Mathias Sühring, and guests were treated to beautifully plated and flavourful creations, each a labour of love from the three renowned chefs.

From Don Alfonso 1890, think the vitello tonnato, or Piedmontese veal, Mediterranean tuna tartar, Kristal caviar with capers from Punta Campanella and Gragnano Eliche pasta with red prawn from Mazara del Vallo and sea urchin; as well as Sühring’s duck liver and smoked eel with Frankfurter grüne soße, a herb sauce; butter-poached arctic char, cauliflower and almond; and langoustine. Concluding the impressive menu was a dish jointly conceived by the two restaurants: an Oberto Fassona beef Rossini style, elevated by the addition of black truffle—a decadent and unforgettable pairing that delighted diners.
The event, which was held over both lunch and dinner services, welcomed an esteemed audience of diners. Guests were granted the privilege of experiencing time-honoured culinary traditions and the supreme skills of the three renowned chefs.
