Taste it share it
Restaurants such as BOCA, BB Social,
and Folly are leading the way on the
Dubai restaurant scene as they use
some of these amazing ingredients
from local suppliers. BOCA are
notable as 80% of their seafood is
locally-sourced and Chef Matthijs
Stinnissen is passionate about using
the best ingredients from the UAE.
You can often find him at many of the
local producers looking for more ideas
to keep evolving his seasonal menu.
Modern farming techniques are
generating fantastic products that
are free from the usual pesticides
and insecticides and that can only
be great for the food that we find
ourselves eating at these restaurants.
A brief search of your favourite
social media throws up some of the
following suppliers, that provide
local restaurants with brilliantly fresh
ingredients:
• Jebel Ali Fish Farm @fish.farm
• Madar Farms @madarfarms
•
Integrated
@igruae
Green
Resources
• Dibba Bay Oysters @dibbabay
• Carol Hyland @littleleavesuae
• Emirates Bio farm @emiratesbiofarm
If you wish to try some of the food
and produce mentioned above, I
recommend getting yourself down
to BOCA for their lunch deal. AED 90
for two courses and AED 125 for three
courses of Chef Matthijs’ seasonal
Market Menu. Or, try the made-on-
site, super-light Bao buns of BB Social
at DIFC with their Bites, Baos and
Bowls lunch deal; two dishes for AED
80 or three dishes for AED 100.
