Villamore — Restaurant in Dubai

Villamoré is a Mediterranean inspired mostly seafood restaurant with an enviable position on the West Crescent of the Palm. The decor is fresh and inviting channeling a New England beach meet Santorini vibe with its cobalt blues, white wash walls and glossy decorative plates. The outside terrace is perfect for large groups and parties in the more tolerable Dubai winter months.

You will need to crawl through the surreal Kempinski hotel lobby and breakfast restaurant before emerging poolside to get to Villamoré (which is very poorly sign posted).

HIGHLIGHTS: Roasted Sea Bream with thymes, olive oil and lemon is subtle, moist and cooked very well (Sea bream is a much overlooked fish vs sea bass but half the price). It’s cooked whole and filleted table side. Highly recommended. Heirloom Tomato side salad is not only colourful but also features perfectly ripe tomatoes which is not easy to come by in Dubai. The raw red onion is barely noticeable and does not overwhelm. Bacalao croquettes are crunchy with a golden crumb that collapses into flaky salt cod that’s clearly been soaked and washed well as the salt flavour is light and does not overwhelm. Mocktails are very good and I didn’t miss alcohol the entire lunch (uncharacteristic for me...)

LOWLIGHTS Seafood mixed salad starter is OK. The frisée leaves add very little and the slight bitterness detracts a little from the otherwise fairly sweet seafood. I would recommend swapping these out for something more bold like green olives or herbed croutons.

Service: impeccable. Price: looks let’s be honest it’s a seafood restaurant ok the Palm facing the beach in the Kempinski. It’s not an everyday now budget lunch BUT it’s very enjoyable and somewhere I would return to.

You should definitely make the effort to come down.

A standalone structure close to the hotels swimming pool, Villamore is like a breath of fresh air when compared to the ostentatious Emerald Palace. A two story structure heavily influenced by the trattorias and tavernas of the Mediterranean manages to be both chic and rustic in equal parts. Led along stone floors and down white washed corridors, we soon find ourselves on the outside terrace. Decked out in blue and white upholstery we are given a distinct feeling of Santorini island life. A sense that’s further heightened by our location, sat upon the sand of the Palm Jumeirah with impressive views towards Dubai Marina and its glittering skyscrapers piercing the horizon.

Villamore’s barefoot lunch attracts a more mature crowd then we perhaps expected and looks to simplify the weekend brunch experience with a four-course set menu of Mediterranean dishes that leans heavily into the cuisines of Italy and the Levant while maintaining a strict seafood focus. We begin in the anti-pasti room (yes you read that correctly) where guests are encouraged to graze on a selection of cold mezze, cheese and cured meets. We’d particularly recommend the Spanish Manchego drizzled in balsamic oil and honey which accompanied by a glass of champagne, marks a wonderful start for this weekend affair.

Four main courses are offered – roasted sea bream, sirloin tagliata, whole fed corn chicken and lemon risotto – of which guests can select one each. The sea bream is a large fish which arrives whole and is expertly filleted table-side. Once again the simplicity of ingredients and pronounced flavours are key and the tender flesh of the sea bream is delightful. Of a similar calibre, the risotto is cooked al dente with an abundance of cheese. The creamy mixture has subtle hints of lemon which works wonderfully with the sides of bitter leaf salad and a chilli...
