If you’ve ever been to Dubai, you know it’s a foodie haven; what with all the eateries at almost every corner you turn. The latest addition to that ever-growing list is the Mediterranean Kitchen restaurant on the shores of La Mer, another Dubai hotspot you should try visiting if you’ve never been there.

So, if you have a penchant for Mediterranean dishes (like yours truly), you can now savour the bold flavours, fresh ingredients, and healthy options that are synonymous with Mediterranean dishes (if the standards are upheld). Speaking of which, the variety of Mediterranean options at this new eatery includes more than 60 mouth-watering dishes inspired by the rich and vibrant food culture of the countries that surround the Mediterranean Sea.

The exciting menu at Mediterranean Kitchen restaurant features international dishes – entrées, mains as well as hot and cold tapas-style sharing plates. The fresh ingredients are sourced locally, with additional seasonal imports from the Mediterranean. What more authenticity can you ask for?

According to the owners, they created Mediterranean Kitchen for the simple reason that cooking has always been linked to lifestyle, culture, and history. People coming together and sharing a fantastic meal has, and always will be, the greatest joy in life (I can’t argue with that).

What to expect at the Mediterranean Kitchen restaurant

From savoury skewers off the grill, refreshing salads or wraps, mouth-watering appetizers, tender gyros, and delicious desserts, Mediterranean Kitchen seems to have an authentic, contemporary take on a timeless cuisine.

Expect to enjoy an array of delicacies from their Mediterranean Breakfast Board, a 6-hour Slow Roasted Lamb Shank served with organic quinoa, grilled zucchini and asparagus. Feel free to also try the Gambero Siciliano, which consists of jumbo prawns, capers, and peanuts on a bed of saffron rice.

If you’re now more than curious about Mediterranean Kitchen restaurant (which I know you are), head down to La Mer, and I’m sure you won’t miss it because it kind of stands out with a bright and inviting ambience (in case you miss it, google maps works wonders).
