Jumeirah Zabeel Saray launches innovative farm-to-table concept

Enjoy the chef’s table, cooking classes and romantic dinners at the new restaurant.

Dubai’s Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is bringing a bit of the country to the desert. The Jumeirah Group hotel has announced the launch of Arcadia, a farm-to-table concept – an urban hydroponic farm, no less. Ahead of the restaurant opening in mid-October, here’s what it all means.

Jumeirah Zabeel Saray’s Arcadia has recently launched an urban hydroponic farm, as it aims to adopt a greener approach to local food production. The dining concept focuses on responsible food sourcing and fresh produce. The process reduces water consumption by up to 90 per cent, as no soil is required for farming. Plus, the farm covers 55 square meters and produces a harvest of 250 kg per month, including 30 varieties of leafy greens and herbs.

The garden vibes are real at Arcadia, as it features an outdoor country-style kitchen, organic herb garden beds and lush greenery. Take a seat at the long dining table or the chef’s table, and dig into fresh food ranging from salads to grills. Arcadia will also host cooking classes and private romantic dinners.

Mark Hehir, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray GM, explained: “Our goal, at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, is to offer our guests unmatched experiences while at the same time utilise precious resources as responsibly as possible. Being amongst the leaders in the UAE to implement the concept, Arcadia is for people who cherish nature and good food while at the same time care about their environment.

“We’re happy to have launched our own hydroponic farm onsite as it will allow us to minimise waste and ensure a greener and responsible sourcing for organic produce, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future for the industry. Additionally, growing produce on property will open up the opportunity to inform and engage guests in responsible production and consumption, while also bringing a new dimension to our culinary offering”.

Sounds blooming lovely to us.

A sucker for a good story, if you invite Kohinoor to a gallery, comedy night, new restaurant, hiking trip, cycle ride, pool day or just about any activity, she’ll probably say yes – that is if she isn’t busy planning her next adventure.
