Book a Dalí-Inspired Dining Experience in Dubai
The distinctive, surrealist aesthetic of Spanish artist Salvador Dalí serves as the inspiration for one of the newest gems in the UAE's culinary scene. Maison Dalí, located at The Opus by Zaha Hadid in Dubai offers delectable Mediterranean- Japanese cuisine within a bold and theatrical space. 'Salvador Dalí is an illustration of how genius and madness are related,' says three- Michelin-starred chef Tristin Farmer, who is also the culinary director at Culinary Arts Group – the Singaporean collective behind Maison Dali. 'We wanted a space to reflect this, where nothing is quite as it seems. A beautiful space with elegance and touches of surrealism from the artwork; a high-energy space oozing with personality.' Maison Dali photographed by Alex Jeffries Red curtains finished off with metallic tassels and artwork depicting optical illusions invoke drama and mystique, and a private hideaway within the restaurant hosts The Dali Supper Club. Innovative dishes on offer include King Crab Ceviche, Smoked Lobster Donabe and Wood Fired Duck – a fusion of Japanese and Mediterranean influences. 'Behind all of this is a complex plethora of dry ageing, fermentation, marination, seasonings and cooking techniques, building layers of flavour and complexity with subtle nuances of depth. It's flavour-forward, umami-driven and ingredient-focussed cooking,' explains Farmer.

Vitor Hugo Lourenço Appointed Group Beverage Director at Culinary Arts Group
By Editor_wr On May 14, 2025 The Culinary Arts Group has recently appointed Vitor Hugo Lourenço as Group Beverage Director, strengthening its focus on innovative and experience-driven beverage programmes. With over 16 years of international experience and a reputation for combining creativity with precision, Vitor will oversee the beverage direction for the group's flagship Dubai venues: Revolver Dubai, Maison Dali and Dali Supper Club. In addition to his new role in Dubai, Vitor's portfolio also extends to Culinary Arts Group's acclaimed concepts in Singapore, namely Hamamoto, Revolver, and Araya, where he plays a key role in elevating the beverage experience to match the exceptional dining standards of each award-winning restaurant. A respected name in the global beverage world, Vitor's career began with a foundation in hotel management and evolved into a dynamic journey across renowned establishments in Europe and the UAE. From leading the celebrated Gin Bar at Rosewood London to crafting beverage experiences for the Harbour Hotel Group and Atlantis The Royal, Vitor has earned a reputation for concept-driven storytelling, operational excellence, and menu innovation. Most recently, as Group Beverage Manager at?EatX, Dubai, Vitor led the development of signature cocktail programmes across a diverse portfolio while championing talent development and building standout brand collaborations with Campari, Diageo, Rémy Cointreau, and others. In his new role, Vitor brings his layered approach to each of Culinary Arts Group's concepts. At Maison Dali, a modern brasserie helmed by three-Michelin-starred Chef Tristin Farmer, Vitor's cocktail menu is inspired by the seven global art disciplines — music, sculpture, performance, architecture, literature, film and painting. Signature serves like the floral and elegant Symphony, the mellow Mist, and the smoky, mysterious Lunar are just the beginning of an ever-evolving BARTENDER programme designed to complement the restaurant's refined culinary vision. At Dali Supper Club, the surreal hidden concept within Maison Dali where captivating mixology meets playful gastronomy, Vitor launched the Red Passion Hours in collaboration with Campari — a bold reinterpretation of the classic aperitivo hour through smoky mezcal twists, sparkling sbagliatos and deep, bourbon-infused boulevardiers. Dali Supper Club is truly unique as Vitor's cocktails are complemented by a specially curated finger food menu developed by three-Michelin-starred Tristan Farmer. This collaboration enhances the venue's multi-sensory journey and reinforces its avant-garde edge. It is also setting a global precedent, being the only bar in the world where the food menu is crafted by the acclaimed Tristan Farmer and purposefully designed to complement the beverage programme. At Revolver, one of Singapore's hottest restaurants, now in Dubai, Vitor has introduced a bespoke Martini Programme, featuring eight bold takes on the classic — from a sharp Extra Dry to a Filthy Martini garnished with blue cheese-stuffed olives — served on custom trays alongside house-pickled cherry tomatoes, aromatic herbs and vermouth pairings. Revolver Dubai's signature cocktails also reflect the restaurant's bold and unapologetic personality. Highlights include the popular Unlighted – a mysterious serving of Don Julio Reposado, Talisker Storm, Rinomato Deciso Rosso and Campari infused guava, smoked with aromatic Palo Santo Wood; and Drift, a modern, fruity concoction featuring The Botanist Gin infused ginger, vanilla and hazelnut, complemented by Belle de Brillet Pear Liqueur and finished with a refined touch of Telmont Réserve Brut Champagne. Its bespoke ice programme, crafted using distinctive techniques and tools, enhances the visual allure and sensory experience of each beverage. Recognising the growing demand for inclusive and mindful options, Vitor has also curated VOL. ZERO.1, a non-alcoholic menu rooted in complexity, depth and craftsmanship. Standouts include Crystali-No – a creamy blend of oolong cold brew, honey, vanilla and non-alcoholic fizz, Lalli – organic barley malt, berries and citrus Bubbli – Tanqueray 0.0, plum verjus and housemade falernum. Commenting on his new role, Vitor Lourenço shared, 'My career to date has been built on the ethos of enjoying as much as you can. I firmly believe there is a synergy between being a bartender and being a chef, as it allows us to create, to be bold, and to express ourselves. It has been the best journey ever so far, and I am excited to bring that spirit to Culinary Arts Group, where creativity has no limits. I look forward to building unforgettable experiences with our team, guests, and partners. For me, it's all about learning, teaching, and being inspired by those around me.' With Vitor's appointment, Culinary Arts Group continues to build a collective of best-in-class talent across all disciplines — united by a shared ambition to redefine the region's dining scene through bold innovation, cultural collaboration, and immersive guest experiences.

Review: Maison Dali plates up the curious and the quirky
One Spanish surrealist and one Scottish chef join forces for Maison Dali… New in The Opus by Omniyat – Maison Dali is the latest from the mind of Chef Tristin Farmer, having made his way around Michelin-starred kitchens in Singapore and Dubai. Back in the city, he's set up shop once again, this time in the heart of Business Bay, borrowing a little flavour and wonder from Slavador Dali's colourful life and times, and a whole lot from the giant that is Japanese cooking. Ambiance As soon as you step in, you're greeted by a cavernous space, draped almost entirely, in red. From the heavy, velvet curtains to the chairs, cushions and the lip-shaped couches, everything is crimson, and the crimson talks, because the rest of the interiors are done up in neutral shades, with marble tables, ivory tiled floors and lampshades, and one wall decked out like a disco ball. Surrealist artworks dot the walls here and there, complemented by a kitsch fake fireplace and a circular poster of Salvador Dali, laid over with a spiral illusion. A whimsical wall of extendable shaving mirrors replaces your generic full-size option in the bathroom. Maison Dali's feel is that of a polished bizarre, aspiring to be truly unrestrained but glossed over with shiny floors, smooth velvet chairs and an army of staff milling about on the floor, providing constant, near-and-far attention. It's packaged quite nicely, made pleasantly palatable for the typical Dubai diner. Food The start of our meal is strong – shokupan, or Japanese milk bread, steaming and gloriously soft, salty, with a melt-in-your-mouth malt, which we devour with butter. Next comes the Dali shellfish platter (Dhs395). This selection contains four crudos, of which the highlights are the French oysters boudeuse, a zesty, spicy and sweet, welcome burst of flavours with the yuzu mignonette and yellow pepper hot sauce; and the Japanese hamaguri clams, offering a sort of green freshness with cucumber, shiso and wasabi. For the small plates, the potato mochi (Dhs110) is the star, a chewy gnocchi, served cacio e pepe style, topped with a shocking amount of truffle, which the server shaves fresh on the table. It's cheesy, it's creamy and it offers a pointed bite in all that depth with the pepper. Incredibly moreish. The squid pil pil (Dhs95) is juicy, with sharp flavours from the kanzuri, garlic and salsa verde – overall, a bright, light dish. The mains come as the miso turbot (Dhs245) – aromatic, citrus-y fish, with yuzu, ginger and star anise, and stuffed morel. The fish is delicious; the morel is a textural pass and an acquired taste – one I may never acquire. The lobster donabe (Dhs195) is airy, with sansho, black truffle and juniper. The wood fired duck (285) comes out on top, the sweet, sticky sauce with hoisin and plum kosho adding so much flavour to the smoky, meaty duck. As we end with the gariguette strawberries (Dhs50) – sweet, tart and creamy in all the right ways – and the dark chocolate s'mores (Dhs45) – rich chocolate given body with the nutty sesame – we come to a number of conclusions. Maison Dali is a perfectly great addition to Dubai's roster of restaurants but a little clarity of concept could polish the experience into what it can be best. The food, invoking Japan with on-site dry aging, fermented ingredients and umami flavours, should perhaps capitalise on this very complexity, rather than a claim of simplicity. The food is delicious, but still experimental and not as affordable for the volume of regulars they are hoping to create. You will be told this is your next neighbourhood haunt – we're not sure we agree, but it's a solid choice for your next special occasion. What's On Verdict: We're here for what Maison Dali is serving.
