Lisa Dahl has been appointed Chef at Ambiente: A Landscape Hotel
Ambiente, a Landscape Hotel, one of North America's most anticipated hotel opening of 2021, announced today that it has tapped renowned chef Lisa Dahl to lead the vision for the hotel's culinary offering.
Campy yet chic, Al chemy will be Ambiente's signature restaurant that finds its home within a custom Airstream, which has been transformed and reimagined into a culinary destination situated poolside at the heart of the three-acre property.
Chef Lisa Dahl, the award-winning chef lauded by critics and the nation's top media outlets for more than 25 years, is the visionary behind this inventive, unsuspecting outpost in the rugged Sedona desert. Fitting of its ultra-luxe setting at Ambiente, Alchemy is exclusive to hotel guests only and will serve breakfast and lunch daily with limited after-hours offerings. With an ever-evolving menu, Dahl's creativity will run wild in her bold, yet approachable take on healthy, indulgent cuisine. The succinct four-seasons menu at Alchemy will feature only a dozen items highlighting many locally grown and sourced ingredients from the Verde Valley and beyond. Like a greatest hits album, longtime Dahl fans may find certain dishes familiar in flavor, yet evolved into something completely new and exciting.
As one of the country's top female chefs and restaurateurs, Dahl was a natural fit for the role, as she is widely credited for pioneering the fine dining scene in Sedona for close to three decades. Dahl is the executive chef and CEO of five outstanding restaurants in Northern Arizona's red rock country where she has earned international acclaim for Dahl & Di Luca Ristorante Italiano, Cucina Rustica, Pisa Lisa, M ariposa Latin Inspired Grill and her newest, most-buzzed-about addition, Butterfly Burger, A Couture Burger Lounge. Dahl is responsible for Sedona's emergence as a national "foodie destination". As a self-taught chef, she was the first to introduce fine dining to Sedona in the late '90s with the opening of Dahl & Di Luca and has since expanded to become the largest restaurant group in the area with accolades spanning the culinary spectrum.
