This VaKaVa limited menu was crafted by some very special guest chefs

The Cuatro Manos menu come from chefs Richard Sandoval and Eber Villalobos…

Two huge names in the Latin food game are going back to back in the award-winning VaKaVa kitchens to bring you a special menu that is pure and unfiltered fuego.

On Tuesday, September 28 and Wednesday, September 29 there will be very limited seatings for the Cuatro Manos (four hands) dinner. Chef Richard Sandoval (the culinary wizard that created the VaKaVa concept) and Chef Eber Villalobos will be there live in the kitchen, excited to take you on a flavour expedition through their home countries of Mexico and Peru.

The four-course menu is available for just Dhs350 and includes hot and cold starters, sharing mains, and a dessert. There’s also a house beverage option too, which is just Dhs495

And the chefs won’t be the only things of Latin origin in the kitchen, much of the ingredients list for this two-night foodie affair has been sourced and imported from the southern half of the Americas too.

Buenos dishes

Discerning diners can expect such sultry starters as house-smashed smoked guacamole; there’s a classic Peruvian ceviche of sea bass, with leche de tigre, cancha and sweet potato; mains include a pulled lamb shank served with adobo sauce, mint, aji amarillo and creamed potato.

The sweets are bringing that tropical heat too, with a choice between coffee tres leches with coconut ice cream and strawberries or crispy churros with manchego ice cream and abuelita sauce.

If you’re unable to get your spot at the table, there are a pair of brunches running each weekend, that are well worth checking out.
