Belmond – Jean Imbert announced as new Chef of the Legendary Venice Simplon Orient Express a new gastronomic era

Today, Belmond unveils a new gastronomic era for the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, Europe, with the appointment of Jean Imbert as Chef of the world’s most famous train.

JEAN IMBERT ANNOUNCED AS NEW CHEF OF THE LEGENDARY VENICE SIMPLON-ORIENT-EXPRESS: A NEW GASTRONOMIC ERA

Launching on the rails from the first journey of the 2022 season, Chef Imbert realises his dream of becoming part of the iconic train’s legacy – elevating the culinary experience for guests journeying through some of Europe’s most spectacular landscapes.

A CULINARY VOYAGE: SIMPLICITY PERFECTED

Blending this iconic train’s gastronomic heritage with his own passion for fresh seasonal produce, prepared classically and with precision, Chef Imbert creates beautiful moments of culinary perfection in motion; from intimate celebrations in a private Grand Suite, to an entire takeover of the train’s glamorous art-deco carriages.

Chef Imbert’s new concept spans all of the train’s culinary menus and experiences; from breakfast served in the comfort of guests’ own cabin, to lunch, afternoon tea, elegant canapés during aperitivo hour in 3674 Bar Car, the social heart of the train, and an exquisite dinner. In addition, indulgent ‘Cabin Service’ delicacies are served around the clock.

Jean has also re-designed the atmosphere and visual identity of the three 1920s restaurant cars, (L’Oriental, Etoile Du Nord, and Côte d’Azur), to reflect his vision whilst maintaining their golden era of travel look and feel. Collaborating with some of the most renowned interior experts. New mood lighting casts a warm, candle-lit glow across tables laid with crisp white tablecloths and sparkling silver cutlery, bespoke art-adorned French porcelain dinnerware and unique menu designs reflect the distinct colour palette and history of each carriage.

SEASONALITY AND PROVENANCE

Cementing existing relationships with local farmers and producers, while forging new connections with specialist artisans along the route, Chef Imbert will transform the finest ingredients into original menus over the course of the train’s calendar, as the seasons change.

A STORY WRITTEN WITH PASSION

“To be written into the story of the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is a childhood dream come true. I genuinely feel as though the stars have aligned for me to have this once in a lifetime opportunity, and I am looking forward to sharing my deep passion for the train, through food, with our guests in this season and for years to come”, says Jean Imbert, Chef, Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, Europe.

BELMOND Unveils new open-air experiences – Three Island in Bloom – Mallorca, Madeira and Sicily

BELMOND Unveils new open-air experiences three Island in Bloom Mallorca, Madeira and Sicily

Belmond introduces new open-air experiences to celebrate the reopening of its ‘Islands in Bloom’. Lapped by the Atlantic and surrounded by the Mediterranean sea – Mallorca, Madeira and Sicily offer the perfect locations for diving into the ‘Big Blue’ or an immersion into the natural world. Re-opening this month, Reid’s Palace, a Belmond hotel, Madeira, Grand Hotel Timeo, a Belmond hotel, Taormina and Villa Sant’Andrea, a Belmond hotel, Taormina Mare and La Residencia, a Belmond hotel, Mallorca offer new experiences inspired by the vivid colours, captivating flavours and secret charms of island life.

From a hike overlooking the glittering Mediterranean; to walks at first light above the clouds, discovering an artistic spirit inspired by nature and sailing with dolphins – the new open air experiences are designed to connect with the healing power of nature and to take time to inhale the perfumed scent of these botanical islands eternally in bloom.

THE BIG BLUE
Reid’s Palace introduces a sailing experience designed to create a sense of calm and total escapism. Sailing on a private yacht to Madeira’s uninhabited Desertas Islands, a wildlife haven surrounded by crystalline waters where whales and dolphins can be spotted dancing between the waves.

The unrivalled beauty of the Sicilian coastline is dotted with fishing villages where tradition and craftsmanship are passed on from generation to generation. This summer, guests staying at Villa Sant’Andrea have exclusive access to a private boat tour to the charming town of Acitrezza, where the Giovanni Rodolico, fourth-generation master boat-builder shares the secrets of his craft that have existed since 1908.

Cala Deia, Mallorca offers one of the most magical sea views if this Mediterrenean Island – guests staying at La Residencia have the opportunity to frame the blue views, with a painting masterclass in front of the ocean – capturing the magical light sparkling off the sea before stepping aboard the hotel’s private boat and fueling the artistic spirit from a different point of view.

ISLANDS IN BLOOM
Set in the balmy climate of the ‘island of eternal spring’, sub-tropical gardens envelope Reid’s Palace and overflow with exotic blooms all year round. Guests can join the hotel’s floral expert for a private workshop, learning the island secrets to cultivating botanicals from the famous ‘Bird of Paradise’, sweet smelling Lavender and Honeysuckle to vast Creeping Fig, Bananas and Pomegranate.

Those looking to uncover their more artistic side in nature can visit Sa Bassa Blanca, Mallorca, surrounded by woodland on the north coast, the contemporary Museum is the vision of artist Yannick Vu and Ben Jakober – guests of La Residencia can enjoy a private behind-the-scenes gallery tour of their most famous works, followed by a beautiful picnic set in the fragrant flower gardens with breathtaking sea views.

IMMERSION INTO NATURE
For early risers looking to capture the magic of first light, Reid’s Palace takes guests on a hike above the clouds at Pico do Arieiro, Madeira’s third highest peak. Surrounded by pine forests and birdsong, a private butler serves a breakfast of fresh pastries, succulent fruits and champagne. Or guests can hike the wild peninsula of Sao Lourenco for panoramic views of the Atlantic ocean.

At Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano known for its surreal lunar landscapes, Grand Hotel Timeo has created a unique wine tasting experience to sample the Etna sparkling wine infused with aromas sweet strawberries, pistachio and prickly pear. The expedition concludes at a traditional winery on the north slope of Etna for lunch and wine tasting set among sun-splashed vineyards.

A TASTE OF ISLAND LIFE
Food of the land is celebrated with exquisite al fresco dining experiences, including picture-perfect picnics and big-sky dinner experiences celebrating seasonal, local produce.

For an added level of privacy and indulgence, guests are welcomed to step onto their balcony or patio for an intimate dinner as the sun sets. Whether the taste is for sustainable soul food, Michelin starred cuisine or simply a heaped and steaming bowl of fresh pasta – guests have a front row seat for an elaborate gastronomic experience in the comfort of their room.
