 Join us for a Valentine’s that’s not just about love but also about nature. MICHELIN Green Star restaurant BOCA invites you to say it with a delicious meal, a mangrove tree and an adventure through mangrove plantations this year.

ABOUT THE MENU – See menu here
The four-course Valentine’s Day menu includes ‘Dibba Bay Oysters’ served with our signature tomato dressing, local beetroot, and seaweed, followed by ‘Gambas al Ajillo’ featuring gulf shrimp, garlic, chili, and artichoke cream. For sharing mains, choose from a ’Butterflied Gulf Seabream’ with sweet potato puree, samphire and warm vinaigrette or a ‘Grilled Grass-Fed Angus Ribeye’ with sweet potato puree, and confit pearl onions.

Couples are also invited to opt for the vegetarian menu that includes the restaurant’s ‘Ice Packed Manzanilla Olives’ stuffed with lemon & calamansi, followed by ‘Superfoods & Dessert Plants’ made with organic quinoa & amaranth. Mains include ‘Seared Confit Artichokes’ and ‘Green Spelt Risotto’ made with spinach, broccoli, pistachio & Manchego cheese crumble. Cap off your meal with a refreshing ‘Lemon & Grapefruit Tart’ served in a kataifi nest with citrus curd, confit skin, lemon albedo puree, and meringue in both the pescetarian and vegetarian options.

To add a touch of sparkle, and inclusive of the package, BOCA is offering a choice between a bottle of artisanal French Sparkling from the house of Frerejean Frères or from French Bloom, Le Rose, 0% Non-Alcoholic.

PLANT A MANGROVE TREE
In partnership with the local marine conservation nonprofit Azraq, BOCA will plant a mangrove tree on behalf of each couple, accompanied by a personalized certificate card. Your act of planting a baby mangrove tree contributes to the restoration of the UAE’s mangrove forests, storing four times more carbon than the Amazon rainforests. Mangroves serve as a sanctuary for wildlife, fostering a vibrant underwater ecosystem and aiding in mitigating climate change.
