Where We’re Having an Amazing Winter in Shanghai

A big boon to attending the first-ever Bicester Lakeside Winter Market every weekend starting from December 7, 2024 is being able to taste Michelin-caliber delicacies by famous chefs and restaurants. 

For instance, there will be gourmet eats by Charbon, a casual eatery by 3-Michelin star chef Paul Pairet and winter favourites by Stiller, owned by 3-Michelin star chef Stefan Stiller.

Furthermore, Hakkasan, a brand born in London, will be participating in their first ever market and offering cult favourites, as well as 1-Michelin star restaurant Maison Lameloise, originally from Chagny, France.

But that's not all: there will even be elegant eats by Cellar to Table, sexy tapas by Tomatito, and contemporary cuisine by BASTARD — think a Chinese sausage sizzle and festive Sichuanese dumplings.

Esteemed chocolatier Pierre Marcolini will end your gourmet journey on a sweet note while also selling edible gifts.
