Jumeirah Group’s two signature Italian restaurants; Alta Badia inJumeirah Emirates Towers and Segreto in Souk Madinat Jumeirah, have unveiled their all-new ‘Farm to Table’ menus featuring seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and farmers.

The new menus are part of the restaurants’ commitment to support UAE produce and use the freshest ingredients available.

Jumeirah Group’s Executive Italian Chef, Claudio Melis said: “Food that has to travel long distances may not contain the same nutrients as fresh vegetables grown locally. Fruits and vegetables harvested locally can be picked when they are at the perfect ripeness, resulting in better flavour and more nutrients. This has a positive impact on local agriculture and a reduced carbon footprint.”

Dishes introduced in the menus include Variazione di Cavolo Nero, kale three ways with poached egg and crunchy bread; Zucchine e Uovo, zucchini puree, goat cheese, poached egg, bread; Pollo al Rosmarino, rosemary chicken breast, baby spinach, local potatoes, lettuce; Sorbetto al Limone e Timo, lemon thyme sorbet, plum tomato and vanilla compote and many more. All dishes are the result of perfected and authentic Italian cuisine with a creative twist, incorporating the local produce.

Guests can savour the true Italian way of life with a four-course meal option for AED 180 at Alta Badia or a three-course meal for the same value at Segreto.
