This June, AMARA had the honour of welcoming the legendary Chef Nobu Matsuhisa back to Matsuhisa Limassol for an exclusive two-day culinary experience that celebrated exceptional gastronomy, craftsmanship, and the art of hospitality.

Guests enjoyed the rare opportunity to experience Chef Nobu’s iconic cuisine in the presence of the master himself. Throughout his visit, he met with diners, engaged with guests, and shared the passion and philosophy that have made his name synonymous with world-renowned Japanese-Peruvian cuisine.

Blending traditional Japanese techniques with bold Peruvian influences, Chef Nobu’s signature creations were brought to life in an extraordinary dining experience. Each dish reflected his distinctive culinary vision, perfectly complemented by expertly crafted cocktails and the refined elegance that defines both Matsuhisa Limassol and AMARA.

His annual visit remains one of the most anticipated highlights on the hotel’s culinary calendar, bringing together exceptional flavours, world-class hospitality, and unforgettable moments.

Chef Nobu’s return once again reinforced AMARA’s commitment to delivering extraordinary dining experiences that leave a lasting impression.
