TOUR D’ITALIA

BiCE Mare, Souk Al Bahar, Dubai

BiCE Mare will be offering exclusive Sardinian dishes throughout April.

March has focused on specials from Liguria and the next installment will bring a host of different ingredients, dishes and flavours to the restaurant thanks to its 11-strong, all-Italian team.

The Catalonian culture comes through with a selection of dishes including the traditional ‘aragosta all Catalana’ – a warm lobster salad served with red onion, fresh tomato and rocket, traditional Fregoal pasta that is toasted and served with gem lettuce, crab, clams, cherry tomato and an orange dressing, classic Malloredus or Sardinian gnicchetti served Mediterranean style with clams, tomato and porcini mushrooms and traditionally hand-caught tuna simply grilled with lemon and oregano.

‘Bottarga’, a specialty ingredient made of smoked mullet caviar – also known as Sardinian Caviar - will accompany a spaghetti dish made with clams, which is one of the most famous meals from this region.

TOWERS OF PIZZA

The first of PizzaExpress’ new generation restaurants opens on April 4 at Fujairah City Centre.

Designed to stimulate conversations, including state of the art acoustic design, PizzaExpress’ first restaurant in Fujairah will feature a vibrant open kitchen, putting pizzaiolos back into the limelight and outdoor seating.

April also sees the award winning chain launch the first deliciously skinny pizza with less than 500 calories.

Bringing indulgent ingredients back on the menu for calorie-conscious diners, the Leggera pizzas are characterised by a new lighter, crispier dough base, allowing space for previously off-limit toppings including beef pepperoni and goats cheese, while remaining under 500 calories.

STARBUCK-ING THE TREND

Starbucks, UAE-wide

This spring, Starbucks is bringing espresso perfection to all its stores across the UAE.

Launching its five-point promise, which comprises elements including the use of the new revolutionary milk pitchers, to barista training and 100 per cent fair trade espresso, customers can make the most of the Espresso promise for perfection in each and every cup of coffee served.

As well as this, the chain will launch its first light roast coffee, Starbucks Blonde Roast.

Master roasters and blenders have taken the world’s best Arabica beans and drawn out their subtle and soft flavours to create a lighter coffee that encompasses the familiar flavours Starbucks coffee is celebrated for, but with a mellower taste to ensure the tastes of each and every customer are met.
