THE launch of Westin Denarau Island Resort and Spa’s new restaurant has prompted a revamp of the menu.
This took place after the resort announced the end of its partnership with Australian chef Peter Kuruvita.
A press statement said both parties had come to a mutual agreement with regards to the restaurant Steakhouse by Peter Kuruvita, located within the resort.
“It will now be rebranded as The Kitchen @ Westin and we will retain Melbourne chef Michael White at the head of the helm,” the statement said.
“Michael has been a chef for 12 years and in that time has worked for such names as Guy Grossi and Peter Kuruvita. Originally from Victoria, Australia, Michael has achieved a lot throughout his many years in the industry.
“He has a strong passion for fresh, local produce and incorporates this into his fun and exciting menu.”
According to hotel manager Ravinder Dhesi, the resort would revitalise the menu with a little twist of Italian.
“The menu will have something to offer for everyone with a selection of meats, pasta, seafood and vegetarian dishes available to whet your appetite,” he said.
“We are very excited with the new restaurant and will be offering some innovative dishes that we are sure to delight your tastebuds.”
Meanwhile, outgoing chef Mr Kuruvita will take up a new venture with Starwoods Group of Hotels fourth property in the country, Sheraton Resort and Spa, Tokoriki Island Fiji.
