The beauty, spirit and remarkable vision of Palm Jebel Ali was captured by Chef de Cuisine Hernan Ruiz in a unique and memorable culinary moment.
Nakheel, one of the UAE’s leading real estate developers, hosted an exquisite dining experience on the waterfront of Summersalt Beach Club within the luxurious Jumeirah Al Naseem hotel. Titled ‘A Taste of Inspiration’, the mouthwatering limited-edition banquet was inspired by Palm Jebel Ali, a stunning landmark of luxury living that brings a new dimension of style to the Dubai coastline.
Summersalt Beach Club’s talented head chef, Hernan Ruiz thoughtfully crafted a special menu of delicious dishes that encapsulated Palm Jebel Ali, a collection of upmarket districts on a palm-shaped island that is destined to become Dubai’s most talked-about waterfront location.
Inspired by Palm Jebel Ali’s beautiful vistas and picture-perfect position on the Arabian Gulf, Hernan curated an enticing brunch menu that represented various facets of island life. Layered black cod, for example, symbolised land, sea and growth. Lobster ceviche encouraged diners to think of the coastal breeze, while grilled palm heart was emblematic of the landscape.
“I wanted to take the vision and lifestyle of Palm Jebel Ali and translate it to a dining experience,” explains Hernan. “Every dish reflected the island’s essence. I wanted guests to feel a sense of place and curiosity when they took their first bite.”
Savouring every mouthful of Hernan’s culinary creation at Summersalt Beach Club were a carefully selected group of elite property brokers, key investors, valued clients and sophisticated lifestyle influencers who were invited to take an exclusive glimpse into the exciting future of Palm Jebel Ali.
Filled with luxury hotels and resorts, spacious promenades, a state of the art yacht club, elegant villas, upmarket malls and vibrant beach clubs, Palm Jebel Ali will become an instant icon in Dubai and a prestigious new landmark in the city’s skyline. Designed to connect residents and visitors to nature through an abundance of green spaces and tasteful biophilic architecture, this serene new neighbourhood aims to generate a sense of community and tranquility in Dubai. Hernan’s innovative menu was a celebration of bold flavours, immersive moments and exceptional lifestyle that defines Palm Jebel Ali, a thrilling destination that signals a groundbreaking new chapter of luxury in Dubai.
