FOODIES – get ready for the ultimate treat; multi-Michelin starred chef Jean Christophe Novelli is joining forces with Manchester's longest-standing Italian restaurant, Don Giovanni.
Guests will be treated to an evening of French food and fancy with Novelli himself
Novelli will work with Don Giovanni's team to create a special bespoke menu which will run alongside the restaurant's existing offering. The new dishes will launch in September 2016 and there will also be an exclusive Christmas menu for the festive season.
Jean Christophe Novelli will also be hosting a series of one-off events at the restaurant including cooking demonstrations and an Audience With evening where guests will be treated to an evening of French food and fancy with Novelli himself.
Adam Karim, owner of Don Giovanni, said: 'We're honoured to welcome Jean Christophe Novelli to the restaurant, and for our teams to work together so closely to develop new and unique dishes for our customers.
'We are constantly striving to do innovative and exciting things and we're confident he will be a huge hit with the diners of Manchester. It's going to be an exciting year for Don Giovanni.'
Jean Christophe Novelli added: 'I am truly excited to be working with Adam and his team at Don Giovanni and looking forward to creating a memorable menu based around my French-Italian roots.'
The independent award-winning restaurant, located on Oxford Street, was given a £400k refurbishment in 2015, re-opening with a fresh pasta and dessert station, a spectacular Italian marble bar and a clean new look.
The fresh appearance meant it snapped up Les Routiers Newcomer of the Year 2016 award. Also, in 2015, Don Giovanni was voted the UK's most romantic restaurant in the Italian awards.
Jean Christophe Novelli is a 5 out of 5 AA Rosette and multi-Michelin star award-winning chef who has built up an international mini empire from his beginnings as a baker in his home town of Arras in Northern France. It looks set to be an exciting time for Don Giovanni with such a giant of the culinary scene giving his input.
