The renowned luxury eco-resort, Soneva Fushi, is set to elevate its innovative fine-dining zipline restaurant, Flying Sauces, with an exclusive 15-week residency by celebrated German chef Tim Raue. From October 12, 2023, to January 24, 2024, guests will have the privilege to experience Chef Tim’s culinary artistry amidst the treetops of this tropical paradise.
Launched in 2021, Flying Sauces has redefined the dining experience by introducing the world’s first fine-dining zipline adventure. Suspended 40 feet above the ground, an open treetop kitchen awaits daring diners. Securely harnessed, guests embark on a thrilling 650-foot zipline journey, landing on an elevated dining platform that presents panoramic vistas of the island’s verdant greens and the sparkling turquoise ocean. Against this breathtaking backdrop, patrons will indulge in Chef Tim’s meticulously crafted tasting menu for Flying Sauces. The menu, a fusion of Asian influences, German interpretations, and Maldivian ingredients, will tantalize taste buds. Notably, the use of freshly harvested organic vegetables and herbs from Soneva Fushi’s on-property gardens will infuse each dish with an unrivaled freshness. Complementing the gastronomic journey, an exquisite selection of over 9,000 wines from Soneva Fushi’s expansive cellar will be on hand to elevate the experience.
Signature dishes in Chef Tim’s curated menu will include:
Coconut… The Soneva Fushi Island Taste: A harmonious blend of creamy coconut, palm heart salad, apple and cucumber, all united by elderflower dressing, jalapeno chili, and blue pea blossom.
Job Fish… The Maldivian Sea: Cured and steamed job fish, bathed in a shoyu soy sauce broth, accompanied by citrus marmalade, ginger, leek julienne, and clarified butter.
Wasabi Langoustine… Chef Tim’s Signature: Deep-fried langoustine, adorned with wasabi mayonnaise, crispy rice flakes, Thai-style dressing, mango, and coriander stem.
Chef Tim Raue’s culinary journey is adorned with accolades. In 2010, he partnered with Marie-Anne Wild to establish Restaurant Tim Raue in Berlin. This venture achieved the prestigious distinction of being awarded two Michelin stars and receiving five black toques from Gault&Millau. Notably, it secured a spot on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, entering at 40th place. Chef Tim’s culinary prowess also caught the attention of Netflix, as he became the only German chef featured on the renowned show “Chef’s Table.” His culinary repertoire extends to an entirely vegan menu and the creation of a new culinary sensation called Kolibri x Berlin, harmonizing traditional German classics with his signature flavors.
“Restaurant TIM RAUE fulfilled a lifelong dream for me. Soneva Fushi’s Flying Sauces residency offers me culinary freedom and the canvas to explore a spectrum of ideas with my team. The lush paradise of Soneva Fushi is the perfect backdrop for this culinary adventure, where we will blend an array of flavors and textures from Asia, Europe, and the Maldives,” expresses Chef Tim.
