A Celebration of Flavour and Rhythm
La Mar by Gastón Acurio, the award-winning Peruvian restaurant at Atlantis The Royal, has launched Noche Criolla Dubai. This monthly event, held every second Thursday, highlights the vibrant Creole culture of Peru. Guests enjoy a ten-dish sharing menu, unlimited traditional beverages, and lively entertainment. It is a night that blends festive tradition with world-class service.
A Journey Through Creole Cuisine
Peruvian Creole cuisine is the product of centuries of cultural exchange. Influences from Spanish, Italian, African, Chinese, and Japanese kitchens come together to create dishes that are rich in flavour and history. At Noche Criolla Dubai, guests begin with Tiradito Peru — fresh fish with yellow chilli, rocoto pepper, and leche de tigre. The Cebiche Carretillero, one of Chef Andreé Nuñez’s favourites, reflects the evolution of Peru’s national dish. The menu continues with Anticucho, a classic dish with African roots, and ends with desserts such as Alfajores, Torta de Chocolate, and Cacao Mousse.
Noche Criolla Dubai: More Than Dinner
The evening is not only about food. Salsa dancers and live singers bring energy and colour to the dining room. Guests are invited to dance, celebrate, and share moments in true Peruvian style. Noche Criolla Dubai transforms dining into an immersive cultural experience.
Chef Andreé Nuñez: A Guardian of Peruvian Gastronomy
The vision behind this event comes from Chef Andreé Nuñez, Chef de Cuisine at La Mar. Born in Arequipa, he has trained in prestigious kitchens, from Astrid & Gastón in Lima to El Celler de Can Roca in Spain. In the Middle East, he has led acclaimed restaurants in Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Dubai. Today, he honours his roots by creating menus inspired by childhood memories and family recipes. For him, Noche Criolla Dubai is more than food — it is a tribute to Peru’s heritage.
La Mar at Atlantis The Royal: Setting the Stage
With sweeping views of Palm Island and Dubai’s skyline, La Mar by Gastón Acurio has become one of the region’s top dining destinations. Known for its cebiche bar, signature cocktails, and Michelin recognition, the restaurant combines contemporary design with authentic Peruvian spirit. Noche Criolla Dubai builds on this reputation, offering a monthly event that brings together culture, music, and cuisine at the highest level.
