One of New York’s most popular long-standing restaurants has recently opened at Mall of the Emirates in Dubai. Situated just a stone’s throw from VOX Cinema, Dean & Deluca has already become a foodie hub, offering up gourmet dishes in a casual market-style setting. 

THE ATMOSPHERE
Part eatery and part grocer, Dean & Deluca’s latest branch at Mall of the Emirates is a foodie’s fantasy, filled with fresh produce and a wide menu. The décor is light and bright with an open kitchen to catch all the cooking action. Marble floors, subway tile walls and plush leather chairs fill the space. There are plenty of seating options to suit all, whether you’re heading for a bite with your other half or dining in a big group, family-style.

THE FOOD
With an emphasis on freshly sourced ingredients, the food at Dean & Deluca is not to be missed. Offering breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the week, the restaurant never fails to attract the hungry masses.

For breakfast, we recommended loading up on the eggs benedict with smoked salmon, just-baked pastries or, for a taste of the Middle East, opt for the spicy foul tagine with zaatar fatayer on the side. 

If you’re looking for a quick and healthy lunch, try the delicious Oriental lentil soup, goat’s cheese and walnut salad, or a selection of Arabic mezze favourites including hummous and baba ganoush. 

It’s in the evenings that Dean & Deluca really comes alive, with diners flocking to the new spot for their belly-warming plates of chilli-lime fried shrimp, truffle mac ‘n cheese balls, pesto pasta and Mediterranean tacos.

Similarly, this makes for a lovely spot to stop by for a coffee and fresh fruit juice in a stylish setting after a dose of retail therapy in the mall. 

The menu is seemingly never-ending so there’s bound to be something (if not, a lot) for everyone to enjoy.
