Hyatt Regency Dehradun Resort and Spa announces the appointment of Chef Vikram as Chef de Cuisine. With an impressive culinary pedigree and a deeply personal philosophy that unites tradition and innovation, Chef Vikram steps into this role with a vision to enrich the resort’s gastronomic offerings to an art form.
Chef Vikram brings with him a legacy developed across the world’s finest kitchens and the open seas – his formative years were shaped under the tutelage of renowned culinary icons such as Wolfgang, Aurélien Dumeylet, and John Pugh. His global expertise is grounded in respect for ingredients and a reverence for simplicity. At Hyatt Regency Dehradun, he intends to build on this foundation to create a singular culinary identity: one that harmonizes the grace of European flavours with the soulful spirit of Uttarakhand’s terroir.
His approach to cuisine is rooted in integrity, artistry, and discipline. For Chef Vikram, a meal is never just a plate of food – it is a multi-sensory portrayal where every ingredient has a role, every technique a purpose, and every dish a story. With a leadership style defined by mentorship, collaboration, and exacting benchmarks, he inspires his team to change the scene of creativity while upholding uncompromising consistency.
Guests can expect an exquisite culinary repertoire under his stewardship, ranging from delicately composed French classics and soulful Italian fare to inventive desserts and artisanal breads, each thoughtfully crafted with seasonal ingredients and modern technique. The menus will feature refreshing dishes such as Himalayan trout with beurre blanc and nettle pesto pasta made from foraged greens, celebrating a poetic interplay between European refinement and the raw, untamed beauty of the region.
His vision is to evolve Hyatt Regency Dehradun into a destination where cuisine becomes a catalyst for connection, where storytelling, seasonality, and elegance converge on every plate. With immersive dining events, curated chef’s tables, and collaborations with local producers, Chef Vikram is set to enhance the resort’s culinary journey with authenticity, sustainability, and levitated charm.
His appointment marks a defining moment for the resort, ushering in a new era of culinary excellence that complements the serene grandeur of the hills themselves. With Chef Vikram, Hyatt Regency Dehradun is poised to become a destination to remember for those who appreciate not only the finest in hospitality but also the soul-stirring joy of exceptional cuisine.
