We all love the launching of a favourite culinary haunt and gastronomes of Pan-American fare will be salivating at the return of Zoco this Friday (April 26).
Calling the V Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton its new home, the concept curated by Peruvian Chef Gustavo Alonso Guin Barnachea sees diners enjoy gastronomy from all over the Americas in colourful, vibrant surroundings where Latin house vibes from the DJ booth set the tone.
Whether you are dining as a couple or enjoying a post-work hang, emphasis is on sharing with a plethora of authentic dishes. Begin your culinary adventure around Pan America with a host of starters, from freshly made guacamole and tuna tartare to zingy citrus ceviche and soft-shell crab; or a selection of hot plates including beef short ribs, fluffy bao, crispy calamari and chicken teriyaki skewers.
For mains, diners can tuck into Mexican style tacos loaded with chicken adobo, Peruvian chifa duck fried rice and sticky beef with udon; or go for gold with the ‘Black Onyx’, a black angus rib-eye with confit garlic and grilled vine tomatoes that’s perfect for sharing. Desserts are just as enticing with an elevated ‘Quatro Leches’ cake, churros, cheesecake and a selection of sorbets to ensure the experience ends on a sweet finish.
Set on the seventh floor of the hotel, cocktail connoisseurs will be able to test their taste buds against signature cocktails crafted using Pan American spirits including Espuma De Mezcal, Empresa Cubana and Cilantro Paloma, or there are pitchers of Sangria and Margarita for those who wish to share.
There’s plenty of promotions to look forward to with a daily Happy Hour from 4pm to 7pm, inviting guests to enjoy selected house beverages and cocktails from AED 35 and a 25 per cent discount on dining.
Fridays are all about the ladies with Salsa Y Señoritas. Gather the gals and shake to the sounds of salsa while taking advantage of a three-course set menu and unlimited house beverages for AED 180 for two hours. The gents are not forgotten about either and can enjoy the same offer for AED 250.
And on Satudays, change the beat and treat yourself to Pisco Rhythm, where you can savour a chef’s selection of cold and raw appetisers accompanied by unlimited pisco for two hours.
