JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru has appointed Chef Vishal Thakur as Chef de Cuisine of the hotel. A dynamic and hard-working chef with a passion for food and a good eye for detail has a flourishing career of over 16 years. In his new role, he is responsible for taking care of the culinary operations at ALBA, as well as guiding his new team of enthusiastic chefs.

Chef Thakur is known to adopt innovative and unique approaches in the kitchen, which is among his most defining characteristics. He brings simple yet sophisticated, authentic Nouvelle European food to the table for not just the discerning set of connoisseurs, but also to satiate palates of all levels of experience. His passion for food and perseverance towards creating timeless experiences has allowed him to master the phenomenon of being a chef of European cuisine, yet in possession of an Indian heart and edge. Bringing with him pre-opening specialty restaurant experiences and efficient coordination with service and vendors will prove to be an invaluable addition to the culinary team at JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru.
