Caf\u00e9 Bateel brings a refreshed take on Mediterranean specialities to tables across the Middle East this summer. The new menu features plenty of flavourful, wholesome and delectable dishes, crafted using the season\u2019s best ingredients.<\/p>\n

\u201cInspired by conviviality and the idea of coming together over good food, the menu puts the finest and freshest ingredients in the spotlight. You\u2019ll find premium, natural flavours as the foundation of every dish on our new menu,\u201d\u00a0 explains Chef Nicholas Cuadrado<\/a>, Culinary Director at Bateel International. \u201cMany of the recipes reflect a Mediterranean heart with an Arabian soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

All the ingredients in the Caf\u00e9 Bateel summer menu are carefully sourced from specialist suppliers from the Med and beyond, with an emphasis on selecting organic produce and farms that put sustainability first. This commitment to culinary excellence is one of the reasons why Caf\u00e9 Bateel won the BBC Good Food Middle East Magazine<\/em> Healthy Eating Restaurant Award in 2020 among other accolades, and the story continues this season with brand new healthy and nutritious dishes, an array of vegan specialities, as well as detox beverages that delight family and friends.<\/p>\n<\/div>
