BOCA

Good atmosphere with friendly crew and all the dishes we have ordered was tasty.

Holds Michelin Green Star.

Prices are at higher side considering size of the portions.

This spot in DIFC won a Michelin Green star for its sustainable practices, and this time that I visited (as compared to many years ago), I was pleased to see a lot of veggie options on the menu.

They bring in complimentary bread before your meal. To start with, I tried the potato bravas from the tapas menu - a classic, you can’t go wrong with.

The gazpacho is one of the best Dubai has to offer. It’s got avocado, green apple, beetroot and sour cream - very refreshing!

For the mains, I tried the roasted cauliflower - it’s got flavors of Parmesan and oxalis - this dish was absolutely delicious and a unique take on the cauliflower steak genre, great for vegetarians!

For dessert, you must try their chocolate mousse dessert. They drizzle olive oil on top, which goes so well with all the other flavors of the dessert. The crumby texture of the stale bread + sesame cocoa complements the softer mousse texture. Very flavorful and a HIT 👏🏼

We came here for a wine tasting event with tapas as well as celebrating a wonderful friend's birthday.

The service was wonderful. The place can be loud, but as long as you are part of that group, then you are fine! 😁

Nice location in the heart of DIFC, one of the more affordable options if deciding to eat in this location. Food was good, cocktails were not so good unfortunately. We had a selection of food that we shared, including one main meal, the de boned chicken that we found a bone in 🦴 🧐 Calamari was good, peppers 🫑 were good, potato’s were good too but the best thing for me was the mini burger 🍔 The place was like half restaurant, half trendy bar/club almost. Good vibes and good music. Great service by the waiters ⭐️👌 and we were even offered a complimentary glass of wine at the end which was a very nice touch ✔️ They have a great private function room downstairs too which is very private and impressive looking 👀

5 Stars is not sufficient. BOCA is a pillar of the Gastronomic Scene in Dubai, and has International Acclaim, not least with Awards for Sustainability from Michelin, but with many other awards.

Most recently I ate in the evening (August) from the A La Carte Menu, My partner was most impressed by the large range of Vegan and Vegetarian options available.

But have been on many occasions for the Business Lunch which is truly impressive, with a wide range of choice.

The staff and Management are amongst the best in DIFC and I have experience excellent service on every occasion.

*****

This place always have a great vibe. Food is amazing, with so much flavour. Service was execptional as well! Will surely come back again.

This is the kind of vibe i like after work! If you are based in this area, this is the place where you should be anytime you feel like doing something specially after a long day. Amazing calamari, cold cuts plus olive with lemon are perfect match! Love the cocktails plus the happy hour and of course Bryan who served us veryyyy well!
