United Arab Emirates Dinner

Bailliage of United Arab Emirates
Dubai, October 26, 2020

American dining at Maine Land Brasserie
" Everyone was delighted by such an unforgettable evening "

For our October event we went to the third of the home-grown, modern-American brasseries by the MAINE (located in The Opus by Omniyat, Business Bay) which offered some intriguing surprises aside from their new, exclusive signature dishes.

At the reception on the outside terrace everyone remained seated with masks worn except when drinking or eating. No shaking hands, kissing or hugging took place as members remained responsible and cautious despite the easing of COVID-19 regulations.

In addition to the MAINE welcome drinks, Grand Officier Willi Diener offered Gaffel Kölsch (draft beer, no preservatives) as an additional treat.

Moving on to the dinner indoors, tables were limited to fours and sixes only.  Bailli Délégué Ian Fairservice welcomed everyone especially the new members.

The menu was carefully designed by Chef Saradhi Dakara and elegantly complemented by the wine pairing.
