Introducing a taste of the Mediterranean at Jumeirah Golf Estates

Local ingredients and seasonal cooking are the hallmarks of Al Botanica, the fresh food cafe where Chef Silvena Rowe celebrates good food and decadent treats, many with a healthy, homemade twist.

Stop in early for fresh ground coffee or power juice shots, take some freshly baked breads home for the family or indulge in a healthy breakfast of açaí or avocado on toast. For lunch, Al Botanica offers a wide range of lighter salads to more substantial meals, and let’s not forget the important kids menu, with classics, such as homemade chicken nuggets.

Like a mad hatter’s tea party, where the upside is down, Al Botanica’s cake counter is where things get even more interesting. Eye boggling and tantalizing, treats and desserts are re-imagined. Here sugar-free, gluten-free and even vegan are described as rich, ‘creamy’ and absolutely sumptuous... being bad has never been so good.
