Omnia Gourmet & Omnia Blue - Dubai

If your health conscious and want to dine out in Dubai without feeling guilty then you need to head down to the charming area of Jumeirah Fishing Harbour to Omnia Gourmet & Omnia Blue.








I have eaten at both places now and I cannot get enough of the most delicious yet guilt free menus. The food is contemporary with a Middle Eastern influence.

A quick background... Omnia Gourmet was first opened by the award winning British chef Silvena Rowe. Following its success Omnia Blue opened right next door to it & overlooks the pretty fishing harbour.

Both restaurants use locally sourced organic Emirati produce and have mouthwatering menus.


Omnia Gourmet

Omnia Gourmet was the first to open of the two restaurants and has a menu containing of salads, mains and desserts.

The decor in the place is beautifully done.  The green forest like trees hanging above you, the purple and green decor adorned with butterflies and the Middle Eastern touches is a great mix and has a very cosy feel.

I opted for the Chia Seed & Coconut Milk Pudding (with pistachio paste, raspberry compote & labneh, and also the popular Emerald Sheikha Tartlet (with pistachio cream and pistachio crust).  The desserts were amazing, let me tell you, the taste and flavours all combined were just beautiful! And the fact that they are healthy is a bonus! I enjoyed these with a Rose Tea which was the perfect combination.















Omnia Blue

Omnia Blue is more of a fresh nautical themed restaurant, which is fitting with the fact it overlooks the fishing harbour.

The crisp blue and white decor with stripes and sailor themed pieces, along with the Middle Eastern touches in the tiled flooring fits perfectly together.

For lunch I chose the mini Slider Burger, the Emirati Lobster Mac n Cheese and two green salads (one with courgette and nuts and the other with broad beans and avocado).  The meals were so delicious and really fresh in taste. I enjoyed it all, especially the Slider Burger (I could have easily eaten more!) and I really loved the twist on the classic that is Mac n Cheese, which was beautifully done.

The portions in my opinion are a great size, so you can also have dessert here at Omnia Blue or across at Omnia Gourmet!












Both these restaurants are definitely worth a visit, I know I will be returning very soon!
