BOCA

"A breezy, biophilic tapas restaurant in Dubai's Financial District, known for pioneering the use of ingredients sourced from across all seven emirates."

"Celebrating the flavours of the Mediterranean in a sustainable way, Green Star restaurant, Boca, dedicates itself to championing local produce as much as possible, reporting on their carbon emissions, incorporating renewable energy throughout the eatery, and proactively ensuring they reduce their food waste. Chef Patricia Roig believes that superficially throwing away ingredients contributes to the increase of energy needed in food production factories and waste facilities, which in turn has a big impact on the planet. 'There are so many ingredients that we buy and, without touching, we throw away just because are ugly, expired or simply wilted. But are they really inedible?' she challenges." - Kelly Sadek

"Boca offers joyful and sunny Mediterranean cuisine, while following an impressive sustainable ethos that includes using local produce, proactive and conscious waste management, valuing resources and using renewable energy." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"The bright, sunny look of the room is reflected in the extensive menu which careers joyfully around the Mediterranean, offering something for everyone – be sure to bring some friends so you can order with abandon. The Spanish dishes particularly stand out, such as the good-looking green herb gazpacho – the perfect refresher on a hot day." - Michelin Inspector
