The renowned Social by Heinz Beck unveiled a fresh menu and family-style Saturday lunch
Following a week-long visit by the venue’s highly decorated chef patron, Social by Heinz Beck has revamped and refreshed its menu and offers to reflect a more informal approach to Italian cuisine.
Along with a brand new à la carte menu featuring traditional yet elevated Italian classics, Sociale, a Saturday lunch activation that draws on the Italian traditions of abundance and communal dining has also been introduced.
During Chef Heinz’s recent visit to Dubai, he underlined the importance of evolving with the needs and wants of the market. Thus, the new menu will feature generous portions offered at a more affordable price point.
Some of the à la carte menus latest highlights include Black Angus beef tartare, Lobster potato gnocchi, Memory of lasagne and Yellow corn chicken breast with fennel and cereal. The new menu is also inclusive to those with dietary requirements, featuring vegetarian and vegan options including Panzanella 2021, Fagottelli carbonara and Vegan composition with tofu and seasonal vegetables.
And although Social by Heinz Beck will now appeal to diners looking for a more informal offering, fine dining aficionados will still be catered to with the venue’s head chef Francesco’s renowned Blind Menu in which diners share their culinary preferences and receive five, seven or 10 course journeys of dishes created just for them.
Sociale at Social by Heinz Beck on the other hand, will include a selection of dishes served family-style on sharing platters placed in the middle of the table, replicating the atmosphere of love, generosity and abundance of dining in a family home. Diners will be welcomed by abundant platters of Wagyu charcuterie, Fried calamari and Burrata with cherry tomatoes. This will be followed by Seafood risotto and Beef cheek tortellini, skilfully made in-house. For mains, there will be a choice of Sea bass fillet with spring vegetables or Veal cotoletta ‘alla Milanese’. Finally, there will be a selection of traditional desserts to share including Cannoli Siciliani, Pistachio profiteroles and Baba with strawberry and lemon cream.
