This March, Novotel Vijayawada Varun is set to bring the vibrant spirit of Korea to the
heart of the city with an immersive Korean Food Festival at its award-winning
signature restaurant, Red Bowl from 1st March to 8th March 2026. Fresh off the
prestigious Food Connoisseurs Award 2026, Red Bowl continues to elevate
Vijayawada’s fine dining landscape by introducing authentic Korean flavours in a city
that is increasingly embracing global dining experiences.

Leading this culinary showcase is Chef Ronald, an accomplished specialist in
Korean cuisine with over two decades of experience. He brings the vibrant spirit
of a Seoul kitchen to life with dishes that are robust, evocative, and soul-
satisfying.

Sharing his thoughts on the festival, Manish Pathak, Hotel Manager, Novotel
Vijayawada Varun, said, “At Novotel Vijayawada Varun, our focus has always been
on curating dining experiences that are globally relevant while remaining locally
engaging. As Vijayawada evolves into a more discerning culinary destination, the
Korean Food Festival at Red Bowl reflects our commitment to introducing
authentic international cuisines with depth, technique, and cultural context.”

Over eight flavour-packed days, guest can expect Dubu-Kimchi with its silky tofu
and punchy fermented notes, Tteok Bokki with its fiery glaze and satisfying chew
and Jjampong Ramen, a rich, spice-laden noodle bowl layered with robust
flavours. Each dish is crafted to deliver authenticity while inviting diners to
explore something new.

Red Bowl is already celebrated for its Pan-Asian cuisine in Vijayawada and its much-
loved live Teppanyaki counter in Vijayawada, often rated among the spots serving
the best Asian food in Vijayawada. The Korean Food Festival adds another exciting
chapter, inviting guests to experience Korea in its most authentic and flavourful
form.
