The eatery at the Baha Mar in the Bahamas aims to showcase “authentic tastes” and offer travelers the flavors of contemporary Chinese haute cuisine.

“Our vision is to create an immersive dining experience that transports guests across the world through taste, aesthetic and ambiance,” said Graeme Davis, president, Baha Mar. “Our exceptionally curated team will deliver the highest level of Chinese taste profiles – both food and design – to a sophisticated audience interested in cultural experiences.”

The Grand Hyatt Baha Mar’s flagship eatery will focus on a menu of flavors that “meld traditional and contemporary,” from “cherry foie gras” to traditional peking duck to Chaozhou-style truffle and vegetable dumpling, among others.

Shuang Ba is led by executive chef Brent Martin, who hand-picked a slate of 15 chefs from some of China’s most esteemed hotels, including the Park Hyatt Beijing and the Wynn Palace Macau.

“Inspired by connectedness to local culture and passion for creating extraordinary experiences, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar caters to world travelers seeking international tastes,” said said Scott Allen, general manager, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar. “Shuang Ba will uphold the Grand Hyatt brand’s legacy by embodying the highest standard of international luxury and cultural culinary experiences.”

It’s one of several new high-end eateries to debut at Baha Mar, following the debut of the Japanese restaurant Katsuya and Michael Schwartz’s Italian-focused Fi’lia.
