Can chef Izu Ani continue to impress with his latest restaurant in Dubai?

GAIA

Several years ago, a French restaurant by the name of La Serre opened in Downtown Dubai. It was an instant hit.

Packed from the first night, it deservedly won What’s On Awards galore. The chef at the helm back in those heady days was Izu Ani, a lovely, smiley chap who believed strongly in La Serre’s dedication to fresh, high quality produce, which he used to create unfussy dishes that captured the hearts and bellies of Dubai diners.

When Izu left La Serre, he seemed destined for Dubai domination. Within a couple of years, there were a string of openings: Izu Brasserie in City Walk, Carine at Emirates Golf Club, swiftly followed by Izu Bakery in Dubai Mall. Now he’s opened Gaia, a striking Greek restaurant in the heart of DIFC.

It really is a beauty. With its muted colour palette of smooth concrete greys, white painted woods and cream walls, warmed by perfect lighting and brought to life by the whiff of fresh seafood, Gaia is arguably the most attractive new restaurant in town.
