About Us
BOCA is a restaurant and bar that celebrates the cuisines of the Mediterranean coastal regions of France, Italy and Spain, in the heart of Dubai’s financial centre. Our philosophy is simple – take whatever’s good and fresh and delicious, do as little to it as possible, and share it with people who think like us.
BOCA is one of five restaurants from the Arabian Gulf featured in the global Truth, Love & Clean Cutlery guidebooks (https://truthloveandcleancutlery.com/). These are the world’s first guides to truly showcase exemplary, organic, sustainable, and ethical restaurants. We were recognized for our efforts in sourcing locally and collaborating with local and regional fishermen and farmers.
