THE SELFISH BULL LAUNCHES A NEW MENU: On Bluewaters Island, tucked away under the vast height of the Ain Dubai, sits The Selfish Bull. Dubai’s self-proclaimed hidden gem has been busy cranking up the swank on their cuisine, cuts and interiors. Bringing a fresh new menu to the table, as well as a face-lift on their decor, the wood-fire grilled steak and seafood restaurant is ready to open its doors to serve the public the tastiest meats on the island. Keeping some old favourites and adding some new additions to the plate, The Selfish Bull’s new menu features a 1.3kg tomahawk that is meant to be shared, as well as other dishes like Tenderloin, Ribeye and NY Strip. There’s also the option to pair your steak with seafood like Canadian lobster, mud crab and jumbo prawns.

LA FABBRICA ITALIANA LAUNCHES IN DUBAI: La Fabbrica Italiana is the UAE’s first focacceria that has opened its doors in the trendy and foodie neighbourhood of Wasl 51. With just three main menu items, the focacceria aims to translate fine dining onto a piece of fresh focaccia. The homegrown eatery is situated at Wasl 51 and welcomes customers to a space full of natural light and colourful fresh focaccia displayed throughout the counter. The minimalist interior is spaced out with wooden textures. Signature dishes include Italian favourites like Barese, Ligure and Trentina along with a sprinkle of adaptation to local flavours like Zaatar Man’ousheh. All flavours served are baked fresh daily. Focaccia is favoured by many for its non-bloating qualities. Fermenting during its three-day proofing instead of within the body allows people to indulge in its bread-like texture without negative digestive effects.

LAST CHANCE TO TRY THE BRITISH PIE MENU AT NINE: This is homemade comfort food at its finest with classics such as our Shepard’s Pie, cooked with slow-braised pulled lamb shoulder and a layer of buttery mash on top, as well as Steak & Ale Pie complete with homemade flaky pastry. Those with a preference for poultry can feast on the Chicken & Tarragon Pie, baked with a light, crumbly shortcrust pastry along with tasty baby leeks and mash on the side. You can always choose from traditional meaty pies like Steak & Kidney Suet Pudding served with a rich beef sauce and caramelized onions, or try a veggie option such as the Potato & Blue Cheese Pie, using an incredible great British cheese ‘Northern Blue’ in a buttery shortcrust pastry served with broccoli puree. Top off the meal with some scrumptious, not-so-humble Apple & Cider Pie for two, just like nan used to make, and served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
