Kraken is @chefgregoireberger’s new seafood restaurant, having left Atlantis’ Michelin-starred Ossiano. Once and for all, I hope (he has previously departed and returned).
His new baby is a homegrown concept housed in a villa conversion, a stone’s throw from Khadak on Al Wasl Road.
Impressively, according to the menu, 70 per cent of ingredients are locally sourced, with the seafood, sustainably line-caught, partly down to the restaurant’s own fishing boat. Gregoire and his head chef @chefrobinhoefer - also formerly Ossiano, use the Japanese ikejime technique of humanely killing and preserving fish that is meant to elevate quality, texture and flavour.
I managed to sneak in and out, dining completely incognito for the whole experience, which, as you know, gives me pure pleasure. Gregoire was out catering for an event, and the front-of-house team didn’t bat an eyelid. Happy days. But was it a happy experience?

Would love to know where you’d like me to review next? 🙏🏼😋
