Named after the famed Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, Vasco’s is the perfect spot for a gossipy lunch or a night out with the girls. The award-winning international restaurant may not boast the chic interiors and foam-covered haute cuisine of the capital’s trendier dining haunts, but don’t let the modest décor fool you. It’s packed with in-the-know foodies every night, thanks to the delicious East-meets-West menu, inspired by its globe-trotting namesake.

With fare influenced by every country, the extensive menu has something to cater for every taste. Don’t be put off by the vast selection – unlike many ‘international’ dining spots that spread their culinary net too wide, everything tastes as authentic as if it’s been cooked by a native chef. For starters try the prawn pil-pil from Spain or the Indian black dhal, or take the lighter option and fill up at the huge salad bar.

For mains, go native with Vasco’s specials – the Portuguese hammour coated in amazing Portuguese spices offers a delicious kick – and
a taste of the Med right here in the Middle East!

We say!
