Sponsored: Embrace the spirit of Ramadan with an exquisite dining experience at Café Bateel and elegantly crafted gift sets from Bateel boutiques

Gather loved ones this Ramadan for an exceptional Iftar and Suhoor at Café Bateel, where tradition meets contemporary flair. The curated four-course menu, priced at 165 AED/175 SAR per person, highlights the best of Mediterranean flavours, comprising only the finest ethically sourced ingredients. For an added touch of cultural immersion, guests at Café Bateel’s Laysen Valley and Tahlia locations in Saudi Arabia can enjoy live Oud music every Friday during Suhoor, creating an enchanting ambience.

Each thoughtfully crafted dish at Café Bateel is a tribute to authenticity, offering a nourishing meal for those breaking their fast. Begin with Bateel’s organic Rhutab dates and a refreshing Date Tamarind Shake, followed by a choice of Classic Lentil or Italian Bean soup. Tuck into the signature Levant Plate after, starring classics such as baba ghanoush, muhammara, dukkah labneh, Talagani cheese, and fresh pita bread.

For the main course, the menu offers an array of exquisite options, from Slow Braised Lamb with fragrant Levant-style rice, to Greek Grilled Chicken made with premium corn-fed chicken from France, a delectable Scottish Salmon Quinoa, and a vegetarian Roast Pumpkin Ravioli, all made with premium, sustainably sourced ingredients.

To complete the experience, the dessert menu is a feast for the senses. Savour the Pistachio & Rose Raspberry Panna Cotta, a delicate blend of Madagascan vanilla layered with Sicilian Bronte pistachio cream, adorned with rose-marinated raspberries and paired with a buttery pistachio shortbread.

For a decadent treat, the Chocolate Date Fondant fuses velvety chocolate and Bateel’s signature organic dates, finished with a warm, molten centre that oozes with richness. Alternatively, the Date Trilogy offers an elegant selection of dates in three distinct flavours, while the luscious Strawberry Cake provides a lighter, fruit-based finale.
