Beijing, China, 8 April 2010 - The award-winning Hilton Beijing Wangfujing tempts you again for the second year with the once-in-a-lifetime event dubbed “7 Courses * 6 Maestros * 5 Stars * 1 Night Only” featuring the stars of the culinary universe on May 10, 2010.
From Germany to France, USA to Japan, six world-renowned chefs will gather together for the first time to create a dining experience for one exclusive night only in Beijing. This marks another milestone for Hilton Beijing Wangfujing after the successful Michelin-starred gourmet event last year. Each guest chef, together with Hilton Beijing Wangfujing’s very own Executive Chef Yu Xiang Gu, will inventively create a single and unique mouthwatering ‘masterpiece’ for a seven-course epicurean exclusivity.
General Manager Nils-Arne Schroeder proudly remarked, “We want to bring in Michelin-starred chefs and celebrity chefs to introduce different flavours, tastes and cooking styles to Beijing’s epicureans. Different culinary styles and flavours have always fascinated me and I want to share this rare opportunity with our discerning guests. We are proud to gather these master chefs to create a gourmet evening no one else has ever experienced.”
The star-studded line-up of chefs who are coming to China’s capital for the first time to give gourmands a great food sensation experience is definitely one for the books:

With this second star, L’Espadon has now joined the tiny constellation of Parisian gourmet restaurants deemed worthy of two Michelin stars.

Enhanced by flawless technique and uncompromising standards, his cuisine is innovative, offering a contemporary approach to the establishment’s great classics: the Hereford beef fillet Rossini is accompanied by cappuccino-style mashed ratte potatoes, from which rise the mingled aromas of truffle and cocoa.
