What Is Sobremesa Y Amigos?
Sobremesa Y Amigos is an ongoing series of collaborative dining experiences designed to bring chefs, bartenders and other culinary talents together for one-night-only events.
The concept takes inspiration from Sobremesa’s philosophy of gathering around the table, while giving participating chefs the opportunity to exchange culinary ideas, techniques and influences.
Rather than simply inviting a guest chef to recreate their signature dishes, each edition is built around collaboration.
For September, that creative exchange will take place between Chef Marco Ferreyra and Chef Robin Höfer, resulting in a menu influenced by their different culinary backgrounds and experiences.
Meet Guest Chef Robin Höfer
Chef Robin Höfer arrives at Sobremesa with an international culinary background shaped by kitchens across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
After beginning his culinary training in Germany, Höfer developed his experience at MICHELIN-starred restaurants across Europe before eventually moving to Dubai and working at Ossiano.
Travel has also influenced his approach to food. His time in Asia included training in Tokyo kitchens and exploring Thailand’s culinary culture.
More recently, Höfer spent time at Disfrutar in Barcelona, which was ranked No. 1 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024, as well as Core by Clare Smyth in London, the three-MICHELIN-starred restaurant.
These experiences have contributed to an ingredient-led cooking style combining refined technique with influences gathered from different culinary cultures.
What’s on the Six-Course Menu?
For their one-night collaboration, Höfer and Ferreyra will create a six-course tasting menu featuring seafood, vegetables and premium ingredients.
The complete progression is designed to showcase the individual styles of both chefs while allowing their influences to meet across the same menu.
Among the dishes guests can expect are Baby Corn with Mole and Dashi, bringing together Mexican and Japanese-inspired flavours.
Another course pairs Wagyu Beef with Avocado, Leche de Tigre and Sweet Potato, while seafood features through Langoustine with Seaweed, Tomatillo and Jalapeño.
The menu promises a combination of bold flavours, unexpected pairings and more technically refined preparations, with dishes evolving throughout the evening.
Add a Cocktail and Premium Agave Pairing
Guests can also turn the dinner into a paired experience with a Cocktail & Agave Pairing curated by Quiote Co.
Priced at an additional AED 150 per person, the pairing has been created specifically around the six-course menu and incorporates cocktails alongside premium agave spirits.
The selection includes Tequila, Mezcal and Bacanora, offering a different approach to the traditional wine pairing typically associated with tasting menus.
A One-Night Dining Experience in Downtown Dubai
Part of the appeal of Sobremesa Y Amigos is its temporary nature. The menu is being created specifically for this collaboration and will be served for one evening only.
With Chef Höfer’s experience spanning Michelin-starred European restaurants, Dubai and Asian culinary influences meeting Chef Ferreyra’s approach at Sobremesa, the dinner offers guests an opportunity to experience a menu that exists specifically for that night.
And at AED 350 for six courses, with the optional AED 150 pairing, it could be one to add to the calendar for diners looking for something different from their usual Wednesday night dinner in Dubai.
Seating is limited, so advance reservations are recommended.
