Dubai Iftars are notorious for their extravagance as residents break their fasts with the best picks of the city. Celebrating your favourite flavours with a touch of new ones, Couqley has launched a note-worthy menu featuring some of their exciting new specials and bestsellers. Refreshing your taste buds, while also paying ode to traditional French cuisine, the special Eid menu from Couqley is bringing about a change you didn’t know you needed.
Adorning the menu, their special Heirloom Tomato Carpaccio stars thinly sliced Heirloom tomatoes served with Burrata cheese, and pickled baby beetroots drizzled with a balsamic reduction which will be sure to make up for all the uneaten meals over the course of Ramadan. In their mains, their second special is the Beef Bourguignon featuring the slow-cooked Angus chuck in red wine sauce, served with tagliatelle pasta, pearl onions, mushrooms and baby carrots – a must-have for everyone visiting the restaurant for Eid Al Fitr.
