If you could transport us anywhere in the world right now, it’d be to the cliffhanging restaurants of Amalfi, or the backstreet eateries of Rome. While our passports are safely stashed at home for now, we’re doing all of our ‘travel’ via the Dubai food scene.
One recent trip we took was to La Cucina, the lively Italian restaurant-bar on Club Vista Mare. It’s Calore Brunch is one of the newer offerings in town – and on our visit it was as packed as socially responsibly possible.
Guests are greeted at the door with a martini spritz, which sets the tone for the afternoon. This is a brunch that puts quality drinks front and centre, especially if you opt for the (very reasonably priced) ‘Speciale’ package.
For Dhs385, you’ll enjoy free-flowing prosecco, espresso martinis, negroni sbagliatos and more of those refreshing martini spritzes. The premium package also includes the spirits, wine and beers found on the house package (priced at Dhs285).

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
