Let’s talk about the menu, shall we? It’s a playground where Dubai’s cultural mix meets gastronomic genius. Chef Solemann’s dishes tell stories of growing up amidst the hustle and bustle of Dubai’s food scene in the ’90s. Expect a rollercoaster of flavours that leap from comforting to curious in every course.
Start your journey with the ‘Market Prawns’, a dish that’s as fresh as the sea breeze and as bold as a Dubai sunset. Featuring gambero rosso, a shrimp so refined it practically wears a monocle, paired with toum-ranch and dill, it’s a seafood lover’s dream. Next, dive into ‘Roots,’ a tomato-based tribute to local produce, where the humble tomato gets a glamorous makeover with zaatar and house labneh. It’s like your garden decided to go to a fancy dress party.

Then there’s ‘Sarookh and Turbot,’ where aged Galician Turbot finds a saucy soulmate in Sarookh Beurre Blanc. It’s a fish dish with finesse, perfect for those who like their meals with elegance. Feeling adventurous? The ‘Shima Aji and Tomato’ sashimi will have you pondering why you haven’t tried tomato leche de tigre before—spoiler alert: you’ll wonder no more.
For dessert, prepare to swoon. ‘Muskmelon and Labneh’ is a pre-dessert that’s more like foreplay for your taste buds, with aged Shizuoka muskmelon and Sidr honey froyo taking the lead. And if you thought it couldn’t get better, the ‘Mi Cuit’ arrives—a madeleine with white chocolate sauce that will have you debating whether you should’ve started with dessert first.
