Justine Corrado Founder of Basiligo, Gourmet Food Delivery
city insider What do you do in Abu Dhabi? Basiligo, a gourmet food delivery company, is my new company that I started a few months ago. I manage the daily operations, create new dishes for the rotating menu, photograph the tasty creations, and manage the dayto-day challenges that come with being a local entrepreneur in Abu Dhabi’s foodie world.

What are your favourite things about life in the UAE? Abu Dhabi is my lifelong home and my favourite aspect is the local hospitality and caring nature of the small community. I deeply appreciate and thank our ruling family and leaders that they have created beautiful green cities and a safe environment and country for our families. Of course, my ultimate favourite thing is that there are so many delicious food and culinary options from all parts of the world, and most open very late into the evening!
Your recommendation for a romantic evening out in Abu Dhabi this Valentine’s Day? Of course, my recommendation would be to first place an order from Basiligo to deliver to you and your loved one at around 5pm to your favourite outdoor picnic spot – perhaps Mushrif Garden Park or the Saadiyat Beach, which is so romantic at sunset. All you have to pack is a large picnic blanket, some cushions, and your beverages! As a sunset junkie, this is my perfect recommendation to enjoy the evening out in the gorgeous weather.
