THE HUNT IS ON – HUNTER & BARREL DUBAI OPENS APRIL 14 AT VIDA EMIRATES HILLS

THE HUNT IS ON – HUNTER & BARREL DUBAI OPENS APRIL 14 AT VIDA EMIRATES HILLS

Dubai, UAE : Hunter & Barrel, the award-winning high-end casual dining restaurant and lounge concept born in Australia and operated by Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group, will open its Dubai doors on 14th April at Vida Emirates Hills.

Renowned for its hunt, gather and fire-inspired culinary fundamentals, and exquisite array of charcoal roasted meats, vegetables and barrel-aged craft beverages, Hunter & Barrel Dubai is a 232-seat restaurant with a spacious dining room, two private dining spaces, expansive patio seating, adjoining full-service bar and lounge, and an elevated DJ booth.

“We are tremendously excited to be opening our first regional Hunter & Barrel outlet at Vida Emirates Hills in Dubai,” said Rob de Villiers, Regional Managing Director, Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group. “Having taken Australia by storm, we are confident our hallmarks of charcoal roasted meats and vegetables – which have been given a regional spin by Head of Culinary Chef Kamil Bouloot – will become a favourite for diners across Dubai and beyond.”

Hunter & Barrel Dubai will open with a daily happy hour available Saturday-Thursday from 4pm – 8pm, with a diverse beverage menu of hop, spirits, grape and flights. Those looking for a remote working space can enjoy the lounge and five coffees for only AED45 throughout the day.

With succulent, smoky meats at the core of the Hunter & Barrel’s food offering, Chef Bouloot has created starters of open fire prawns and smoky chicken wings; lighter meals include salad options like char-grilled chicken & kale, and cured salmon fillet and burger lovers also catered to with choices of angus beef and cornfed chicken.

Steak lovers are in for a treat with the extensive Steak Programme menu which includes all manner of cuts including fillet, rump, sirloin and rib-eye, as well as 1.3kg tomahawk or 700g angus T-bone designed to be shared. All steaks are either grain fed, CAB prime or wagyu, with marble scores between 2-7+.

A signature section in Hunter & Barrel’s expertly crafted menu belongs to its iconic charcoal roasted skewers, which provide a meaty theatrical display for diners to experience. Options include chicken thigh, wild caught salmon and garlic & rosemary wagyu, or a nod to regional flavours with a five grains kebab and hummus tahini dip. All skewer options are served with either new harvest potato wedges or house salad.

Charcoal roasted vegetables take equal billing to meats, with vegetarian dishes including pumpkin & cauliflower croquettes for starters, five grain kebabs skewers, stuffed bell peppers and emerald dal for mains, while a homemade vegan burger and range of salads including burrata are complemented by an array of sides including char-grilled seasonal vegetables and sauteed oyster mushrooms. Sweet teeth are taken care of with delicious dessert options of chocolate mi-cuit, pavlova and baked pain perdu.

Hunter & Barrel’s extensive top-shelf at speed-rail price beverage options are another allure for diners and revellers, with barrel-aged craft drinks matured in an in-venue cellar, eight different hops, 16 varieties of grape, and an inventive mixed drinks list.

With the notion of the ‘hunt’ ingrained in Hunter & Barrel’s DNA, the design aesthetics of the brand’s maiden foray in the Emirates draw inspiration from regional customs and long-standing local traditions including falconry, fishing and archery. The venue is dressed in lighting, furniture and design elements which evoke falcon blinders, wooden bows and fishing nets, while the modern colour palate represents coral reefs.

“We strived to ensure Hunter & Barrel’s first restaurant in Dubai stayed true to the brand principles of highlighting local traditions and heritage iconography related to land and sea aspects of hunting. It was essential to highlight fundamentally regional takes on sports and ways of life that are prominent to the native tribes of the region,” said Callie van der Merwe, Founding Partner of Design Partnership Australia.

The perfect location for family outings, post work gatherings, a catch up with friends, or to enjoy the game on the big screens, Hunter & Barrel has a wide range of options that is suitable for everyone.
