With its refined new location at the stunning Four Seasons Private Residences on the Dubai Canal, Lana Lusa continues to deliver an exceptional dining experience, blending Mediterranean elegance with Portuguese heritage in a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere.
Rich cultural heritage and family legacy
Lana Lusa’s identity is deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of Portugal, thanks to founder Jessica Kassim Viveiro. Drawing from her family’s Portuguese roots, Jessica has created a space that reflects both authenticity and warmth. Alongside her husband, Rizwan Kassim, CEO of RIKAS Hospitality Group, Jessica has curated a menu that celebrates Portuguese culinary traditions. A standout feature is the ‘Portuguese Heritage’ section, where guests can enjoy recipes passed down through Jessica’s grandmother, offering a personal touch that enhances the dining experience.
Culinary excellence with Chef Helio
At the helm of the kitchen is Head Chef Helio, who has been with Lana Lusa since its inception in Dubai. Chef Helio brings over 18 years of diverse culinary experience, having honed his craft across Portugal, Germany, and Spain. Born in Torres Vedras, a coastal town in Portugal, his deep connection to his roots shines through in the menu, which beautifully reflects Portugal’s land and sea. With a passion for authentic flavours and a love for cooking instilled by his grandmother, Chef Helio creates dishes that honor Portuguese traditions while also embracing Mediterranean influences, offering a unique culinary experience.
Expanded and elevated menu
Since its reopening, Lana Lusa has expanded its menu, combining classic Portuguese dishes with contemporary Mediterranean flavours. Guests are invited on a culinary journey that spans Europe, showcasing a fusion of traditional favorites and innovative creations. From signature Portuguese staples to new Mediterranean-inspired offerings, the menu offers something for everyone, with each dish crafted to highlight the freshest ingredients and bold flavours. The Portuguese Heritage section continues to be a highlight, with dishes that celebrate Jessica’s family’s culinary traditions.
To celebrate the festive season, Lana Lusa is introducing December Festive Suggestions, available throughout the month, with a selection of seasonal dishes including Tarama with Truffle, Pumpkin Soup, Smoked Salmon, Roasted Lamb, and the traditional Bolo Rei cake, a beloved Portuguese holiday dessert.
Perfect blend of tradition, innovation, and atmosphere
Since reopening, Lana Lusa has solidified its place as a must-visit destination in Dubai. The restaurant’s harmonious blend of Jessica’s family legacy, Chef Helio’s culinary mastery, and the refined atmosphere at Four Seasons Private Residences creates a memorable experience for every guest.
