On The Table - 21st June

With one of the best food scenes, we're spoilt for choice with weekly launches and openings. 'On The Table' is our weekly round up of the best food and beverage news and things happening out and about in the UAE.

Here's our top picks this week:

• QWERTY Introduces New Traditional Royal Roast

There's a new roast on the block and we're totally here for it. QWERTY’s Traditional Royal Roast offers a fun dining experience, starting with a selection of starters. Guests can kick off their meal with the savoury sausage rolls, a nod to British comfort food that perfectly balances flaky pastry with seasoned sausage, or the classic prawn cocktail served with a tangy cocktail sauce. Alternatively, the chef’s soup of the day has flavors changing regularly to keep things exciting.

For the main event, guests can choose from juicy roast beef, tender roast lamb, or opt for a mixed roast to sample the best of both. Each main course is accompanied by an assortment of sides, including roast potatoes seasoned with rosemary and black pepper; glazed carrots infused with cinnamon and honey, and an assortment of mixed vegetables including cauliflower, broccoli, and peas – brightened with a hint of lemon and garlic. To top it all off, the chef adds red cabbage with cranberries to provide a tangy contrast, and no traditional roast would be complete without a golden, puffed Yorkshire pudding.

To conclude, guests can choose a sweet bite from one of their traditional desserts - the bread & butter pudding served with warm custard, a beloved British classic; or the classic trifle mix of sponge cake, fruit, jelly, and custard, creating a sweet and satisfying end to the meal.

QWERTY’s Traditional Royal Roast is priced at AED 175, but for the month of June, they are offering an introductory price of just AED 149. This is the perfect opportunity to experience a slice of British heritage with a modern twist, set in the vibrant atmosphere of Media One Hotel. Available every Sunday from 12:30pm until 9:30pm, it’s the perfect excuse for a weekly treat or a special occasion.
