The luxury of Dubai has extended to its gastronomy, and the eccentricities of this emblematic city of the United Arab Emirates are also reflected in its cuisine. Gold is one of the preferred elements in Dubai, appearing in all the establishments and buildings.
However, the most famous chefs in this enclave have chosen to take this precious metal to another level, and through a process that makes it edible, they have created a drink with a surprising value that has become a sought-after item for the most discerning palates.
This is the golden cappuccino, the object of desire for the most discerning palates in Dubai.
The baristas at the Burj Al Arab hotel, built on an artificial island in Dubai, have launched a new eccentricity that promises to revolutionize local gastronomy. This is the Ultimate Gold Cappuccino, a drink offered in the Sahn Eddar lounge that features luxury ingredients not found anywhere else.
This cappuccino includes organic milk, 100% Arabica coffee beans, and 24-karat edible gold, topped with Italian gold flakes. This delicious infusion is served with a portion of Grand Cru Guanaja, a chocolate marshmallow, sprinkled with a shower of gold flakes. This delicacy has a price of 24 euros and is also offered at other hotels, such as the Armani Hotel Dubai and Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.
The most sophisticated gastronomy, dishes served with gold that are revolutionizing Dubai.
In addition to this exquisite cappuccino, gold is also an ingredient served in various places in Dubai. One of the most exclusive and recognized in the world is the Golden Phoenix, a dessert known for its sophisticated preparation that includes eccentric ingredients from around the globe. This dish is made with organic flour, butter imported from the United Kingdom, vanilla pods from Uganda, the finest Italian chocolate, and is coated with edible 23-carat gold leaf.
Another dish making waves in Dubai is the Golden Tomahawk steak from Salt Bae, served with a delicate sheet of edible gold that does not add flavor but generates admiration among visitors from around the world. This meal is also served at a restaurant called Rhain, where this dish is priced at one thousand euros but features a special presentation with waiters performing a special show for the diners.
