Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels opened Al Sanbouk Fish Market, a seafood restaurant in the Al Jasra Boutique Hotel, last week. The restaurant was officially inaugurated by the ambassador of United Arab Emirates, Juma Rashed Al Dhaheri.
The name of the restaurant is derived from the Arabic term for dhow — a fact that is reflected in its interiors. The restaurant offers a wide selection of fresh fish, lobster, shrimps, crabs and other seafood, cooked in a variety of international cooking styles like Italian and Thai.
Christophe Dumeige, Hotel Manager, Al Jasra Boutique Hotel, commented: “Offering a wide variety of fresh seafood that can be grilled, baked, steamed or fried, depending on the guest’s personal preference and taste, Al Sanbouk has been conceptualised to add a new dimension to our commitment to offer the highest quality of food, service and product offering at Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels.”
“Al Sanbouk’s seafood offering will add to the diverse culinary experiences currently on offer at Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels’ various food and beverage outlets, with both buffet and à la carte options on offer,” said Abdo Kayali, Group Director of Sales and Marketing. Some of the delicacies served at the restaurant include fresh mussels cooked in marinara sauce, clams in beurre blanc, soft shell crab in green Asian curry and deep fried calamari in herb butter. Al Sanbouk Fish Market is open seven days a week, serving breakfast from 7am to 11am and dinner between 7pm and 11pm.
