About Sur Mer
This restaurant has travelled far from its roots in Milan where it started as an eatery way back in 1899. It survived two world wars and emerged unscathed with two Michelin stars, and now it’s in Meydan Beach Club for your dining pleasure. Offering modern interpretations of Italian classics, the flavour combos here are spot-on and the execution is sophisticated. The dishes may veer a bit close to the border of dullsville, so make exciting menu decisions rather than opting for the tried-and-tested. We did that with the grilled octopus tentacle and it was a revelation! Other recommendations are the velvety smooth pumpkin soup with sautéed mushroom – the textures are a perfect medley in your mouth. The langoustine carpaccio also melts away on the tongue. This is delicate food that’s perfect for a classy but pricey date night!
