Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 14th September 2020:  Al Areesh Club, Dubai Festival City’s family-friendly sports and social destination, has launched its gourmet haven in the trending ‘food hall’ concept. The Food Hall is a modern-day food marketplace which brings together artisanal and niche F&B offerings including a live bakery, a live butchery, a specialty coffee experience, a fresh deli, a soft-serve ice cream parlour and a seasonal outdoor barbeque. 

Speaking about the launch, Samer Zabian, Director – Mixed Use Residential and Commercial Property, Al Futtaim Group Real Estate said, “After months of being indoors, Dubai residents and visitors now have a collection of options to satisfy their cravings for gourmet food. The stylish new Food Hall is a boutique collection of unique F&B experiences curated by specialists from around the world.

Al Areesh Food Hall’s ‘Artisan Bakery’ offers a delectable selection of freshly baked sourdough, rye wheat and other breads, in addition to gluten-free options. In true deli-style, customers can hand-pick their ingredients and have their bread baked to just to their liking. 

The ‘B&B’ butchery and barbeque concept brings premium cuts of fresh meat in a wide range of options ranging from Angus to top quality steaks. For home barbeques, B&B has an appetising choice of steaks, ribs, Angus beef burgers, and more. Weekend barbeques will be an added attraction at Al Areesh Food Hall during the season. Until then, convenient home kits of premium meat are available for those summer barbeque evenings. 

‘Earthy Blend’ deli brings a homely experience to diners allowing them to build their own freshly made sandwiches, hot soups, salads, juices and smoothies from a selection of seasonal fruits, vegetables and toppings.

‘Rogue Coffee’ offers distinctive experiences that are defined by the method of brewing and the coffee blend. Exquisite brews using the Syphon, Kalita, and the contemporary V60 and Chemex methods are expected to be a hot favourite. Visitors to Al Areesh Club can have a new experience with every visit, thanks to the multitude of coffee blends that have been tested and developed by master roasters as well as single single-origin blends from around the world, including Colombia, Brazil and Ethiopia.  

The ‘Twisty Treats’ area is designed exclusively for fun times. Soft serve ice cream and gelato with an array of healthy toppings, fun snacks and treats, as well as exciting birthday party packages, Twisty Treats promises fun for the whole family.
