Blending natural textures, greenery and refined gold detailing, The Garden Bar & Lounge is the perfect addition to the hotel, ranked #4 on The 50 Best Hotels list and the UAE’s only holder of three MICHELIN keys.

Highlights include crispy mille-feuille potatoes with finger lime, Maldon salt and fine herb emulsion; a Wagyu beef slider with pickled piquillo peppers, raclette cheese and basil emulsion; and wild mushroom parfait with truffle, toasted sourdough and pecan crumble. Popcorn prawns, served with a sweet pepper glaze and fresh lime are perfect for sharing or enjoyed alone.
Those with a sweet tooth will be thrilled at the sight of the dessert selection, which includes fruit garden, pistachio ice cream and a sugar and almond chouquette served with Amalfi lemon and chocolate sauce.
