Special Features
The Ivy, Dubai
The Ivy in Dubai will do what The Ivy in London does best - combine thoughtfully-sourced elements, be they food, drinks, art and design, with its legendary hospitality and service to offer a seamless dining experience to both locals and an international clientele. A stone’s throw from the glimmering arch and sleek modernity of DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre), The Ivy will sit comfortably within an impressive landscape.This is a vibrant locality which has not only attracted global businesses, but has also created quite a name for itself amongst the art fraternity, playing host to such galleries as Quadro and Ayyam.
Group Chef Director, Tim Hughes and his team in Dubai and London – Colin Clague and Simon Conboy in Dubai, and Gary Lee in London - have all been hard at work on the menu. Their wish is to remain true to The Ivy’s roots, but they’re also excited by the endless possibilities that being in the Middle East has to offer.
Tim notes: “honing in on different cultures and always listening to customers gives you a good idea of what will appeal to them, and it is my philosophy to give people what they want to eat, as opposed to what I particularly feel like cooking. With the food at The Ivy in Dubai, we are keen to reflect the alma mater in London, but also embrace local cuisines and different ingredients”.
On the menu will be classics such as the shepherd’s pie, Thai-baked sea bass and mixed beetroot and goat’s cheese salad; but also new dishes including Moroccan spiced rump of lamb with houmous, harissa and smoked aubergine and mixed Asian hors d’oeuvres, which have quickly become favourites amongst discerning customers.
A distinctive art collection is being curated for The Ivy, which will include works by local artists as well as internationally renowned ones. The Ivy will be joining sister restaurant Rivington Grill in Dubai, which opened in December 2008 and has enjoyed much critical acclaim and customer appreciation.
