Silk Road Series. Dede X Sister 7 at Fidelity Studios - June 8th
Here’s the first Silk Road collaboration in numbers — two chefs, two teams, eight courses on one day only, over two sittings, for just 50 guests per service, when two-Michelin starred Dede comes to Sister 7 on June 8th.
Chefs Ahmet Dede and Alex Zhang first met while working together at Chapter One in Dublin. Years later, they reunite at Fidelity Studios, now as chef-owners, each with a distinctive voice shaped by time, place, and personal experience.
The Dede x Sister 7 menu is inspired by The Silk Road, exploring the natural connections between Turkish and Chinese cuisines. Whether that’s shared spices, techniques, and philosophies, or a focus on the fermentation that is a cornerstone of both culinary traditions, local ingredients will be filtered through two distinct cultural lenses and brought together in unexpected ways.
The sea plays a central role in this exchange. Ahmet draws from his life in Baltimore, and Alex brings the influence of Dalian, his hometown in Northern China renowned for its seafood and coastal food culture. Both chefs share an instinctive connection to the sea, a defining thread throughout the menu.
And this is an exchange, not just a collaboration. Ingredients will move between the two kitchens: foraged coastal elements from Baltimore will be explored in Dublin, while aged ferments, honey from the BIGFAN hives, and repurposed elements from Fidelity partners Whiplash Brewery will travel south, in a sharing of resources, ideas, and process.
Expect something deliberately different. What arrives at the table over eight courses will be bold, generous, and full of impact. Dumplings will happen. Kebabs too. Noodles might show up. Dessert definitely will, but maybe not how you expect.
Will you eat with chopsticks? Your hands? Or a knife and fork? We’re not telling.
Music from Moving Still will build atmosphere and momentum, with a selection of one-off cocktails including a welcome drink featuring foraged ingredients from Cork and the Phoenix Park, and exclusive Turkish wines curated by the Dede team and paired across the courses.
Tickets for each sitting of Dede x Sister 7 are €195 per person for eight courses and a welcome drink, with an add-on cocktail and wine pairing of Turkish wines for €72.
This Silk Road collaboration is the first in a series of unique cultural dining events and exchanges by Sister 7 at Fidelity Studios exploring Chinese culinary influences across cuisines in the world.
Tickets for lunch and dinner go on sale on Friday, 22nd of May at 12pm and will be available to purchase from: www.eventbrite.ie
