The hostess escorts us to our semi-banquette table, sandwiched so tightly between two tables, LPM-style, we can hear every word of the neighbouring conversation. I request another table for two that I spot with a little more room in the middle of a busy dining room, but I am politely told that’s reserved for an anniversary. Soon after we are seated and presented with the menus, the hostess returns to guide us to my desired table. My cover is blown. This kind of table hierarchy happens more often than not across many a Dubai restaurant, sadly. I just hope I didn’t rob the “anniversary couple” of a decent table.

We’re dining at @girl.and.the.goose by Nicaraguan chef @gabriela.chamorro505 who has whisked her home supper club of five years to a bricks and mortar restaurant, replacing the Peruvian, Waka, in the @anantaradowntowndubai (ex-Oberoi). She’s partnered with Rosy Hospitality of CQ French Brasserie and Couqley fame.

Central American cuisine is a first for Dubai and for me, spanning Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Belize and Panama. Countries that I have never visited even though I spent the early years of my life growing up in the neighbouring Caribbean islands. There’s a little known fact about me! The geography is well illustrated with a map on the menu and on the website, which is one of the most informative and user-friendly restaurant sites I have come across in Dubai. A best practice blueprint for restaurateurs.

Gabriela or Gigi, her nickname, is quick to point out in person (also confirmed on her website) that the menu marries her modern interpretation of Central American cuisine with her travel experiences as ex-Emirates crew. Only one dish is traditional, and despite its northern neighbour Mexico which I have visited, the cooking differs, she explains.

So how does Girl & The Goose fare across not solely food, but service, interior, atmosphere and price point? Thankfully, I pay the bill in full - with no freebie extras sent to the table.

CRABBY PATTIES

Crab Tequeños @piscoperuviangastrobar

I would eat like 100 of these… in fact I would be able to come back and literally just eat this!

They were sooooooooo good!

I would like if the wrapped them like a tequeño, to honor the name, but that’s just me being me…

The sauce is delicious and the acidity works to cut through the richness, but they are so good and didn’t want anything coming in between us.

Sometimes I prefer to dine on an array of appetizers instead of a main course and this dish is a perfect example.

Come by and try them and let me know what you think!

NEW BRUNCH

Tomahawk (1/2 OFF) @theeyeorlando_

If you like an upscale & lively brunch this is an amazing option!

Their Tomahawk Steak is normally $125 and they have it 1/2 off during brunch.

That alone should be your #1 reason to try it!

OVER & OVER & OVER

Truffle Seafood Noodle @ozaizakayaofficial

I have a list of comfort food dishes to come back for and this one was added and highlighted!

The seeafood was cooked perfectly, but the scallops could have benefited from a harder sear.

Cool spot!
