The restaurant has the design and ambiance as the name implies of a Mediterranean Farmhouse. As you enter the restaurant it feels more like you are entering someone’s home. The restaurant has a bar on one side and tables spread throughout the restaurant which has wood as well as tiled tables for a rustic feel. The menu has a range of Algerian, Spanish, French and Italian dishes with the specialties being the Bruschetta to start, the roasted rack of lamb cooked as a casserole for a main course and the Crème Brulee for desert. The restaurant won the What’s On 2006 Favourite Specialty Restaurant in Dubai award.
