Il Gusto di Xinge x The St. Regis Florence: signature dinner for Chinese New Year

On February 18 at the Winter Garden, an outstanding collaboration between high-end hospitality and contemporary Chinese cuisine

Florence is preparing to welcome an international gastronomic experience that brings together refined hospitality and signature cuisine. On February 18, starting at 7:00 pm, in celebration of the Chinese New Year, the Winter Garden at The St. Regis Florence will host an exceptional collaboration: Il Gusto di Xinge x The St. Regis Florence, a project that creates a dialogue between East and West through the universal language of food.

The collaboration stems from the meeting of the timeless elegance of one of Florence’s most iconic hotels and the creative vision of Xinge Liu, chef and entrepreneur, and one of the most compelling voices in contemporary Chinese cuisine in Italy. Founder of Il Gusto di Xinge, the chef brings to the city a gastronomic narrative that resonates with the hotel’s international soul, long regarded as a landmark for hospitality and culture. A true House of Celebration, where rituals, traditions, and global languages converge in a setting of glamour and exclusivity, reaffirming Florence as a contemporary crossroads for cultural and gastronomic experiences.

To celebrate the Chinese New Year—a symbol of renewal, prosperity, and good fortune—the Winter Garden at The St. Regis Florence is transformed into a suspended, almost dreamlike space where tradition meets a contemporary vision. Here, an exclusive six-course dinner comes to life, conceived especially for the hotel as a gastronomic journey through memories, emotions, and symbolic imagery connected to the most important festivity in Chinese culture.

The menu unfolds as a series of stories told through iconic and surprising dishes: Dream of Red Chambers, fried shrimp and mozzarella bites inspired by the literary masterpiece Dream of the Red Chamber, celebrates friendship, family, and togetherness; Diving in the Deep, steamed gurnard fillet stuffed with shrimp, served with marinated zucchini, bottarga, and oolong tea sauce, invites guests into a slow and profound immersion of flavor; while Give Me a Shot!—a bao with a molten heart of salted duck egg yolk and rum—brings the experience to a close with an audacious, unexpected gesture, intense and unforgettable, like a sudden heartbeat on New Year’s Eve.

Capodanno Cinese

A rendere la serata ancora più suggestiva sarà un programma di intrattenimento tradizionale, con le iconiche danze del drago e del leone cinese, simboli di fortuna e prosperità, accompagnate da un DJ set che completerà l’atmosfera tra cultura, spettacolo e contemporaneità. Il prezzo è di 180 euro a persona.

Un evento che va oltre la semplice esperienza gastronomica, trasformandosi in un racconto immersivo capace di coinvolgere tutti i sensi, in perfetto equilibrio tra ritualità orientale e lifestyle internazionale.
