Spring in Dubai doesn’t exactly come with birds chirping and daffodils blooming. But fear not, culinary sunshine seekers—Armani/Ristorante is here to deliver the seasonal vibes we crave, all plated up in the most deliciously elegant way imaginable.
Nestled inside the iconic Burj Khalifa—because of course, go big or go home—this Michelin-starred gem has just unveiled a brand-new spring à la carte menu. And spoiler alert: it’s everything your palate didn’t know it needed.
Curated by the culinary maestro himself, Executive Head Chef Giovanni Papi
The menu is basically a masterclass in how to make spring taste like a vacation to the Amalfi Coast—minus the jet lag and sunburn.
Let’s talk starters, shall we? The Uovo in Primavera is basically spring on a plate. Imagine a slow-cooked mountain egg, paired with Krystal caviar, asparagus, a zesty splash of orange, and smoked foam that’ll make you question every scrambled egg you’ve ever eaten. Then there’s Battuto di Manzo, which is fancy speak for “Wagyu tartare that’ll ruin you for all other tartares.” Pink Lady apple, black rice chips, and caviar? Yes please, and thank you.
Pasta
This is not your Nonna’s Sunday lasagna (no offense, Nonna). The Tortelli is a pillow of heaven stuffed with Wagyu and Sardinian artichoke, draped in pecorino fondue, and topped with black truffle and tarragon jus. We’re talking edible poetry.
Feeling seafood-y? The Linguine Monograno Felicetti brings together sea urchin, agretti, and candied Amalfi lemon like it’s no big deal (it is). Or dive into the Pasta Fresca—green pea and fennel ravioli swimming in a seafood and clam sauce so good, you’ll consider proposing to the chef.
Main Course
The Spigola Selvaggia is wild sea bass so fresh it probably still knows its way around the ocean. Served with green and white asparagus and a mysterious elixir sauce—because of course there’s an elixir involved—it’s basically the seafood dish of your dreams.
For meat-lovers (aka flavour fanatics), the Guancia di Wagyu—braised cheek, heirloom cauliflower, and spiced jus—is the hug your soul didn’t know it needed. And if you’re feeling like true royalty, the Manzo Stockyard delivers Wagyu tenderloin, foie gras terrine, black truffle, and Arabica jus. Yes, this is definitely a good time to cancel your dinner plans elsewhere.
Dessert
The Baba’ is a citrus-kissed delight with apricot, vanilla, and thyme Chantilly that basically whispers, “spring is here, darling.” Meanwhile, Noci—a walnut and pecan emulsion with praline mousse and Guanaja 70% ice cream—might just be what happiness tastes like.
So, if you’ve been looking for a sign to swap your average dinner date for something a tad more memorable (and by “tad” we mean Michelin-starred magic inside the Burj Khalifa), this is it.
Book your table, dress to impress, and prepare to flirt shamelessly with your fork. Spring never tasted so good.
