Japanese flavours, open-fire cooking and signature cocktails come together at Terasu Lounge this al fresco season
As the UAE’s cooler evenings arrive, Strawfire by Ross Shonhan is welcoming the al fresco season with a dining experience centred around fire, flavour and the art of Japanese-inspired cooking. Set within the iconic Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, the restaurant’s outdoor terrace, Terasu Lounge, invites guests to settle in for relaxed evenings of bold cuisine, signature cocktails and open-air dining.
Ross Shonhan’s signature approach to Japanese cuisine is bold, vibrant and designed to keep you coming back for more. Start with the Prawn Toast, soft yet rich, layered with seaweed and okonomiyaki sauce, and topped with bonito flakes that dance as you cut into it. The Avocado Salad pairs feta cheese, crispy gyoza skin and sudachi dressing for an unexpected mix of taste and texture, while the Spaghetti Mentaiko, with seaweed and a silky butter-cream sauce, is rich and comforting. The Hand Rolls bring together quality ingredients, delicate layers and satisfying crunch, prepared tableside for an interactive element that makes the experience all the more special.
Pair the evening with a signature cocktail, from the refreshing St. Basil, with Roku gin, St-Germain, basil and Ruinart champagne, to the Sesame Negroni, a Japanese-inspired take on the classic with Roku gin, sesame, Campari and miso.
With great food, signature cocktails and an elegant outdoor setting, there’s no better time to experience Strawfire al fresco.
