Taste global, eat local GC takes a look at new restaurant openings with world cuisine.
The Act Evoking the intimacy of a burlesque theatre, The Act has been a staple of Dubai’s nightclub scene since opening last year. The new Dreams by The Act themed dinner and show offers another excuse to try its Peruvian cuisine. Start with the subtle and delicious ceviche clasico, red snapper marinated in garlic, ginger, onion and lime juice. The yellowfin tuna is paired with classic Japanese flavours - chives, ginger, yuzu and soy - while the ceviche de salmon is dressed with coconut, mango and chilli. A must-try main dish is arroz con pato, crispy roasted duck on a bed of rice and coriander with a delicate orange sauce. Shangri-La Hotel, Sheikh Zayed road + 971 52 811 9900 106 MARCH / APRIL 2014
