Experience the First Fusion of Japanese and Portuguese Cuisine in the Middle East at OAnjo

OAnjo, the contemporary Portuguese Nikkei restaurant, just opened its doors to discerning Dubai food connoisseurs on the 28th of November. Located on the 24th floor of Sheraton, Mall of the Emirates, the name OAnjo, meaning angel in both Japanese and Portuguese, is extremely apt as gourmets will get a heavenly culinary experience with every bite at this superb dining hub. The welcoming fusion restaurant takes inspiration from the rich trading history connecting the two countries, as the first affiliation between them occurred in the 16th century, when Portuguese explorers landed on the southern tip of the Japanese Archipelago.  

The interiors are a harmonious combination of Japanese and Portuguese culture as past meets present with the superb design elements. The aged color-washed walls resemble old Portuguese architecture, and the venue also boasts elements of the Japanese culture such as the eye-catching Japanese style ceiling fan. Featuring floor to ceiling windows, the restaurant reveals the most spectacular views of the iconic Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab, which adds further to the romantic setting.  

With a menu carefully compiled by Chef Sergio Cruz bursting with flavor, guests will relish each of the succulent dishes on offer in a picturesque environment. Some of the must try dishes include the freshest Sardinhas Marinadas, Nikkei Portuguese, and authentic Bachalau a Bras. The appetizing selection of fusion cuisine pays homage to the finer qualities of Portuguese and Japanese cooking, and it is perfectly designed to satisfy all your cravings. Diners can also look forward to sipping on the restaurant’s signature cocktail, aptly named OAnjo, that is bursting with enlivening zest and tang to add another element of intrigue to the already delicious delights.
