<span>Cavalli Club Restaurant & Lounge is raising the bar for fine-dining vegan food in the UAE with the launch of its new menu filled with gourmet plant-based dishes that may well appeal to meat</span><span> eaters, too. Starters include quinoa salad; pan-seared tofu with roasted capsicum; crushed edamame with avocado cream; and a selection of vegan sushi. Three mains take centre stage – porcini mushroom pizza with boiled potatoes, vegan mozzarella and truffle paste; gratinated grilled zucchini with panzanella salad, vegan mozzarella and breadcrumbs; and roasted capsicum stuffed with mixed vegetables, tomato</span><span> coulis and melted vegan cheese. A strawberry sorbet topped with muesli or a fresh fruit platter will end things on a sweet note. Even sweeter, UAE residents can get 30 per cent off the food bill until the end of February upon presenting their Emirates ID.</span> <span>Nation Towers Abu Dhabi welcomes a trio of new restaurants into its bustling portfolio. Poke San, Mado and Blu Chocolate were selected to ensure there's something for every diner. The first</span><span> focuses on casual dining and healthy offerings by giving the classic Hawaiian poke bowl a modern twist. The menu is based on a build-your-own-meal concept, with options for dine-in or grab and go. Meanwhile, Mado, which has more than 300 stores in Turkey and around the</span><span> world, makes its Abu Dhabi debut with much-loved delicacies such as Turkish tabbouleh, dolama and baklava. Finally, Blu Chocolate offers artisan chocolates made from six types of beans, with varieties such as </span><span>classic cocoa,</span><span> caramel and </span><span>stuffed dates.</span> <span>The much-loved cheese, made from mozzarella, has become something of a UAE restaurant staple, typically served straight up with tomatoes. The team behind Dubai's French-Mediterranean cafe Bistrot Bagatelle are going one step beyond by introducing a delicious burrata spin-off</span><span>. Head chef Dave Fitzsimmons has created the Burrata Truffee, which accentuates the delicious flavour of fresh burrata with a truffle dressing. T</span><span>he Dh95 dish is served with roasted quince and apple, and cranberry and hazelnut bread.</span> <span>If you've always fancied learning how to make this classic British dish, which features tender meat within puffed pastry, here's your chance. Verve Bar & Brasserie is presenting a beef Wellington masterclass along with a three-course lunch for Dh395 per person every Monday and Friday, from noon to 3pm. Chef Torman Hamouda</span><span> will also share tips on how to execute the perfect risotto and a rich chocolate fondant. Booking is essential 48 hours prior to the lunch, and a minimum of two people are required per</span><span> session. Arabic-language classes are also available on request. Contact 04 525 7633 or book@vervebrasserie.com.</span> <span>Catch 22 is proving that it's not only</span><span> for seafood lovers with the launch of its vegan burger this month. The eatery at Jumeirah Beach Residence will serve a meat-free patty, priced </span><span>at Dh68, along</span><span> with vegan cheese, pineapple and pepper relish, lettuce, tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts, crispy sweet potato frites and creamy vegan chipotle mayo.</span>
