Tucked inside a breezy beachside venue, complete with cosy interiors and sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf, this 90-minute experience uses clever 3D projection mapping to introduce you to the world's smallest chef.
He's animated, a bit cheeky and known to cook right on your plate, though not before taking you through a whirlwind of sound and visual treats.
The result is something between a theatre show and a five-course dinner, and while you won't find any magic tricks, there's a fair bit of table-side wizardry going on.
The menu, curated by head chef Mauricio Zambrano, gives you a choice between three routes: the indulgent Le Grand, the crowd-pleasing Classic, or the flavour-packed Vegetarian.
You could be enjoying pan-seared scallops, slow-cooked beef short ribs and a velvety chocolate crémeux.
There's also a kids' menu if you're bringing along little foodies, and yes, this will definitely be a core memory kind of moment for them.

Ottolenghi is selling his £4.50 ice cream at this supermarket – we predict a sell-out
Whether you worked through his cookbook Flavour during the pandemic to combat the lockdown ennui or are a regular at his famous London restaurants and delis, Yotam Ottolenghi is a household name in the foodie world. Specialising in Middle Eastern cuisine, the Israeli-British chef and restaurateur is responsible for popularising ingredients like pomegranate molasses and making vegetables and salads the star attraction rather than just the side. His significance has seeped into the supermarket aisles, too, with everything from spice mixes to sauces, pastes and seasonings readily available to liven up meal times at home. The latest addition to the roster, however, sits in the frozen food section. Launching exclusively in Waitrose, the chef has brought out three innovative ice cream flavours: Madagascan vanilla and miso caramel, roasted pistachio and sour cherry, and coffee and cardamom. All the flavours are inspired by some of Ottolenghi's signature recipes (think cherry trifle with pistachio and rosemary crumble, miso pesto pasta or the coffee and cardamom pound cake). Costing £4.50 thanks to an introductory offer at Waitrose, the ice creams are available for delivery or collection until 26 August 2025. Here's everything you need to know about Ottolenghi's ice creams. Made with West Country cream, this ice cream boasts no artificial colours or flavourings, and is suitable for vegetarians (tick, tick, tick). If you loved the viral pistachio Dubai chocolate bar, this Ottolenghi ice cream is well worth a try. The roasted pistachio flavour is said to be balanced with a sour cherry ripple – literally the cherry on top. This Ottolenghi ice cream tub sounds deliciously refreshing for hot summer days. The Madagascan vanilla is elevated by miso salted caramel for a characteristically Ottolenghi flavour. Coffee and cardamom are a match made in heaven – Ottolenghi has previously used both ingredients in pound cake and madeleines. Now, it's in ice cream form, made with West Country cream. An exotic combination, the bitterness of the coffee is sure to lift the citrusy taste of the cardamom.

The 21 best restaurants in Berlin
Berlin has it all, from pioneering vegetarian restaurants and Vietnamese noodle joints to upmarket kebab gaffs and Michelin-starred establishments. For something truly old-school, book dinner at Clärchen's, a glamorous old ball house that has seen everything in its more than one hundred years of operation. After a hearty Wiener Schnitzel or Flammküchen, you can join the dancing or enjoy a concert upstairs in the time-warp mirrored hall, which still features some damage from the war. Read on for more suggestions. Plan your visit with our guides devoted to Berlin's best attractions, bars, nightlife, hotels, and spending a weekend in the city. Find a restaurant by type: Best all-rounders ORA This former pharmacy, which dates back to 1860, was turned into a restaurant and cocktail bar in 2015 and has an alluring ambience all of its own. The high-ceilinged interior still features plenty of nods to its original 19th-century incarnation, including old cabinets and extensive wood carvings, brass details and stone floors, which are tastefully balanced with contemporary touches, creating a comely and captivating melange. The kitchen prepares fresh breads and pastries and offers three-course menus (herbivore or omnivore versions) that are big on seasonal ingredients: dishes include polenta gnocchi with aubergine and canestrato, summer duck with chanterelles and shiso, and Provençal tomato and onion tart. The associated cocktail bar can get bottlenecked at weekends, but it does churn out top-notch drinks, many often infused with home-made syrups and mixers, as well as locally grown herbs and spices.

Three-Michelin-star Paris restaurant Arpege switches to plant-based dishes
PARIS, July 25 (Reuters) - French chef Alain Passard, known for his mastery of roasting techniques, has decided to drop almost all animal products from the menu at his three-Michelin-star restaurant, Arpege. The decision follows his earlier move to eliminate red meat from Arpege's dishes in the early 2000s. Passard's updated menu excludes meat, fish, and dairy, although honey sourced from the restaurant's own beehives will remain an exception. Passard said he was motivated by his passion for nature, adding that using seasonal vegetables would also reduce the restaurant's environmental impact. Passard, 68, rose to fame for his roasted dishes, including "poulet au foin", or chicken cooked in hay, but has since become a leader in Paris's growing vegetable-based dining scene. "Everything I was able to do with the animal will remain a wonderful memory," Passard told Reuters. "Today, I'm moving more towards a cuisine of emotion, a cuisine that I could describe as artistic. It's closer to painting and sewing... Today I'm a different chef." Arpege is the first restaurant with three Michelin stars in France to move to plant-based food, joining the ranks of Eleven Madison Park in New York, which made a similar transition under chef Daniel Humm. On the menu is a "mosaic" of tomatoes, flamed aubergine with melon confit, and a dish made up of carrot, onion, shallot and cabbage. The priciest set menu costs 420 euros ($493) and lunch costs 260 euros. Some countries have seen consumers turn away from meat in recent years. At the Paris Olympics last year, organisers set out to cut the amount of meat served to athletes and spectators. ($1 = 0.8526 euros)
