Guests had the opportunity to savour a range of traditional Moroccan dishes, reimagined with a modern twist by Jiwan’s Head Chef Morgan Perrigaud and La Mamounia’s Le Marocain Chef Rachid Agouray and team.
Yves Godard, F&B Operations Director of IN-Q Enterprises (IN-Q), expressed his gratitude to La Mamounia’s culinary team for their collaboration, saying, “It was a pleasure to host La Mamounia at Jiwan and celebrate the vibrant flavours of Morocco together. This collaboration not only showcased the excellence of both establishments, but also fostered cultural exchange and understanding between Qatar and Morocco.”
Chef Morgan Perrigaud echoed, “Working with the talented chefs from Le Marocain led by Chef Rachid was truly inspiring. Together, we were able to create a menu that celebrated the essence of Moroccan food culture while offering a unique dining experience to our guests at Jiwan.”
