Brand new: Gaia

Foodie hotspot DIFC has a new dining option as Greek restaurant GAIA has just opened its doors in Gate Village. The concept was created by homegrown chef Izu Ani, who you’ll recognise from top restaurants including La Serre, La Petite Maison, and carine. Signature dishes include freshly baked bread, Greek salad, baked feta, seabream carpaccio and baby goat. Guests can also visit the in-house fish expert – a fishelier – for bespoke orders and recommendations.
