A highlight? The one-of-a-kind bar concept which will bring together Asian flavours, traditional brewing techniques, and the mystique of Asian wildlife. Expect an extensive selection sourced from breweries across Japan from the delicate flavours of high-grade sake to sips with umami notes.

As for cocktails, the sips have been crafted with creativity and precision with vibrant colours, exotic garnishes and unexpected flavour combinations. There will be plenty of mocktails and organic teas to choose from, too.

Additionally, the venue will brag a secret authentic space for special tea ceremonies, adding a layer of cultural richness to the dining experience.

What’s On the menu?

Alba showcases a culinary offering which reflects the long-lasting cultural exchange between East and West – a blend of traditional flavours of Korea, Japan and China with modern European techniques. Curated by chef Vladimir Chistyakov and chef Minho Ted Shin, expect signature dishes such as caviar and uni, beef yuk-hwe, wagyu maki and more.

Alba is a concept by Metafoodies Restaurants Management, a new hospitality group in Dubai. The hospitality team also announced the opening of Bisou this month which is also located in the Opera district right opposite Alba. Bisou, which translates to “Kiss”, will bring a novel concept to the city, one that ‘combines French classics and Middle Eastern spirit with the love of French literature.’ Read more here.
