Traveling to any gorgeous European hotspots this summer, but sad to leave your Dubai favourites behind? You’re in luck. Zuma, the London-founded restaurant that is a fixture of the Gulf, will be opening three seasonal restaurants in Mykonos, Ibiza and Sardinia respectively, and will run until the end of the summer.
The Rainer Becker-created restaurant is celebrating a big anniversary this year, hitting its 20th year of izakaya cuisine, and with these three pop-ups will bring the number of global restaurants to 20.
Zuma’s three new hot spots
The Mykonos spot will be most unique, featuring a a first-of-its-kind, creative, multi-purpose concept consisting of a restaurant, lounge and bar, sleek infinity pool, day beds and resident DJ.
The full Zuma menu will be available in the restaurant throughout the day and night, and the space will transform as sun turns to dusk; with day beds and small plates beside the pool during the day; before turning into a night-time hotspot with a DJ playing chilled house into the early hours.
The Ibiza pop-up will be on the open-air terrace of the Ibiza Gran Hotel in the marina, the concept restaurant will have a resident DJ all summer long. In Porto Cervo, north-east Sardinia, the Zuma pop-up will feature a carefully selected men of sliced yellowtail, green chilli relish, ponzu and pickled garlic, as well as robata plates, including spicy beef tenderloin with sesame, red chilli and sweet soy against the backdrop of the marina.
The menu will also feature handcrafted drinks to toast Zuma’s 20th anniversary and Costa Smeralda’s 60th .
“This is a momentous summer for Zuma, with three new venues opening across Europe, including our brand-new Mykonos lifestyle hub. We opened the first Zuma in London 20 years ago and look forward to embarking on our next 20 years as we launch this new venue concept internationally,” Rainer Becker said.
