My masi was in town and I had to introduce her to some different cuisines. It usually becomes slightly tricky for lesser-leaf-eating-mortals like us. Thank God we discovered Quattro that recently opened in Bur Dubai, a popular Italian-Mexican restaurant from Mumbai that has an impressive progressive menu. Many restaurants in Dubai have fused molecular gastronomy with the Indian Cuisine, Quattro is the only restaurant (at least in my knowledge) that’s playing with the latest fad with the Italian and Mexican delicacies. It was quite a treat, I admit and far from pinching your pocket!! Check it out-
Salads
- Melon Feta Salad– AED 46
Melon Feta Salad They say God is in details….and sometimes in presentation as well. Quattro serves the good old Melon Feta Salad differently with marinated melons cut into perfect spheres and skewed into sheer culinary delights. The crunch of roasted pine nuts, with Balsamic pearls and Feta Cheese gave a nice twist to these mouthfuls!!
Appetizers
- Formaggio Di Patate- AED 46
Formaggio Di Patate
You skipped reading the name of the dish, I know, hehe. Let me break this down to you. Now my trip to Italy a couple of years taught me that Italy produces a wide range of cheeses made from cow’s, sheep’s, goat’s and buffalo milk. Formaggio is fresh cheese prepared by separating the curds and whey, where curd is pressed to form cheese balls. This is what the balls looked like. Damn that sounds wrong 😉
Formaggio Cheese Balls The dish was then mixed with some Cheese Sauce-

Taquitos. AED 47
Taquitos Everything at Quattro comes with a fun twist. Forget the boring rolled up tortillas. At Quattro they change them into fun cones and mind you they are fried, yet gluten free, that are filled with beans, jalapenos, tomato salsa and avocado ice cream.

Filo Parcels: AED 46
Filo Parcels These little heavenly pastry parcels pack spiced corn and olives that serves nostalgia for free. Yes, that’s the best thing about Quattro Dubai that they have retained not only most of the delicacies from Mumbai menu but managed to retain the original flavors as well. The crispy crunchy pastry just melts into your mouth and you experience a blast of flavors while munching on spiced corn and olives.
Main Course
5. Fajita Pizza: AED 57
Yes It was so good that I took the picture when I was half way through 😉
Fajita Pizza The good thing is that Quattro keeps the main course simple. After enjoying the drama in appetizers, the main course is simple yet delicious. Fajita had a tortilla base and came with a choice of toppings; grilled spiced vegetables, jalapenos and corn, topped with yellow cheddar cheese. You have two options in sauce: spicy pizza sauce or green chilli sauce. It’s tangy and tantalizing!!
6. Risotto Funghi: AED 59
Risotto Funghi Not too dry, not too liquidy, Risotto with creamy shiitake mushrooms, oregano and parmesan, drizzled with truffle oil, was cooked just right!! One of my favorites on the menu by the way. *Slurps*
Desserts
7. Hazelnut Mousse, Candied Hazelnut & Popcorn: AED 59
Hazelnut Mousse, Candied Hazelnut and Popcorn This sinful delight was served with Belgian chocolate ice cream, just the perfect dish to bring this beautiful culinary experience to a satiating end!!
Quattro staff had heard me on City 1016, my radio station, and knew it was my birthday 2 days ago and were sweet enough to bring me a birthday cake!! My mom and masi don’t even take eggs in cakes and thankfully it was eggless. The chocolate Ganache Cake took the ‘chocolate’ bit way too seriously and we loved it!!
Chocolate Ganache Cake Good taste, Friendly Staff and a Happy Vibe make Quattro quite a winner.
