A Taste of Spanish Excellence In Dubai
TATEL first opened in Madrid in 2015 and has since expanded globally to places like Beverly Hills, Mexico City, and Valencia. Its Riyadh location has even won a FACT Dining Award. The Dubai branch promises to be a sophisticated space, with candle-lit entrances and décor in shades of brown, green, and maroon. Live entertainment, a bar and lounge with a raised DJ booth, a chic dining room with views of the kitchen, and a large terrace with a gurgling fountain and Burj Khalifa views will make it a top spot, especially during the outdoor dining season.
Delectable Dishes & Drinks
TATEL Dubai’s menu showcases local ingredients in delightful dishes like Arroz de bogavante (lobster rice), Gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns), Risotto TATEL a la trufa (truffle risotto), and Tortilla de patatas trufada (truffle Spanish omelette). The dessert menu features the renowned Tatel World Famous Cheesecake, known for its fluffy texture and gooey filling. To complement the food, the drinks menu includes carefully crafted cocktails and a fine selection of spirits and wines.
Introducing TOTO: Italian Charm in Dubai
Alongside TATEL, Ronaldo and Nadal are also introducing TOTO, an Italian restaurant right in front of the Burj Khalifa. Inspired by the golden age of Italian cinema, TOTO first opened in Madrid in 2020 as a tribute to the iconic film Cinema Paradiso. This retro-chic dining spot offers fresh vegetables, meats, seafood, homemade pastas, and traditional casseroles, all accompanied by live piano music and rotating musical acts. TOTO Madrid boasts one of Spain’s most extensive wine lists, so expect a similar selection at TOTO Dubai—only the best for Ronaldo and Nadal’s guests.
