Sponsored: Envy at Th8 Palm offers a stylish dining atmosphere inspired by the Mediterranean coast. The interiors feature a mix of warm, natural tones with vibrant colours, enhancing its coastal look
Spacious seating areas include plush cushions and light wood finishes, while marble surfaces add a modern touch. Large floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with natural light and provide diners with views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline.
After the server led us to our table adjacent to the window, we were ready for the Flamenco Fiesta—Envy’s Spanish-themed nights held every Friday and Saturday. This spot allowed us to soak in the vibrant energy of the indoor space while enjoying the fresh, open-air ambience just steps away.
The highlights
The evening kicks off with a buffet featuring beautifully arranged cheese boards, crusty breads, a fresh seafood selection, and refreshing salads. Once you’ve explored the stations, the set menu begins, showcasing hot sharing plates that bring authentic Spanish favourites to life.
The meal opens with Patatas Bravas, crispy golden potato cubes smothered in a zesty tomato sauce and topped with a generous dollop of garlicky aioli, followed by Pulpo a la Gallega, a dish of tender octopus slices seasoned with smoky paprika, sea salt, and a delicate drizzle of olive oil.
Then, the sharing tapas arrive: Albóndigas, juicy beef meatballs simmered in a rich, slightly sweet tomato sauce; Gambas al Ajillo, plump shrimp sautéed in olive oil with garlic, chilli flakes, and fresh parsley; and Pimientos de Padrón, small green peppers lightly fried in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, offering a burst of flavour with each bite.
For the main course, diners choose from several hearty Spanish staples. Paella Valenciana is a vibrant rice dish featuring tender chicken, green beans, juicy tomatoes, and fragrant saffron, while Paella de Mariscos offers a seafood twist with shrimp, mussels, clams, and squid nestled in saffron-infused rice, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Escudella i Carn d’Olla, a Catalan vegetable stew, brings a comforting mix of seasonal vegetables in a light broth served with rice on the side, and Cordero al Horno features slow-roasted lamb infused with rosemary and garlic, served alongside seasonal vegetables for a truly savoury treat.
Dessert rounds off the evening with a shareable spread of Spanish classics: crispy churros dusted with sugar and paired with a thick, indulgent chocolate sauce; Tarta de Santiago, a light almond cake dusted with powdered sugar; Crema Catalana, a smooth, lemon-and-cinnamon-infused custard with a caramelised sugar crust; and Tarta de Queso, a rich, creamy Spanish-style cheesecake.
