It is indeed a spectacular sharing selection with a tantalising taste sensation and playful and unique dining experience, that will surely impress all gourmands.

Paella fideuà is a classic creation in the Southern European country, beloved by everyone for its sublime simplicity and special ability to be cooked with a range of different ingredients to suit specifically what is in season.

Another reason it is a standout dish, is the way it is presented to your table; and the breathtaking dish, that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner, is indeed a feast to all senses. This exceptional melange of Spanish seafood and pasta is renowned all over the world and Chef Timothy absolutely enjoys serving it to food enthusiasts in Dubai.
