In a land in love with luxury food imports, Dubai's casual fine-dining restaurant Boca is going against the flow and opening up a conversation around locally-sourced food, starting with its new spring menu, 'Abundance in the Desert'. It's a tasting menu that pays ode to the desert's riches rather than its aridness, as they say, "we live in abundance; we just have to look a bit closer and work slightly harder". Opened in Dubai in 2014, the homegrown modern-Spanish tapas-influenced eatery might be sandwiched between big international fine-dining players in the shiny financial district, but it has found a voice of its own. Offering informal affordable all-day dining to returning local professionals, it's ready to have a dialogue. Having weathered the storm of the coronavirus pandemic, it's team is back, its doors are open and it's ready to strive for a sustainable future as well as a sustainably sourced menu.
