The new restaurant will bring the famous culinary tradition of Tapas to Dubai.

Le Méridien Dubai Hotel and Conference Centre is all geared up to introduce a new dining spot, Bebemos, this month. Steering clear from Spanish clichés of bullfighting, flamenco, and castanets, the hotel is bringing Spain’s tradition of Tapa and authentic Spanish cuisine to Dubai.

Taking references from a culture that is renowned for its culinary vibrancy and relaxed way of life, Bebemos marries robust Spanish flavours with the country’s artistic heritage. A similar rationale is evident across Bebemos’ decor, with splashes of vibrant colours inspired from artist Joan Miro modernist sensibilities that co-habits in perfect harmony with raw brick walls and fluid arches, highlighting the artistic and neo-modern duality of Spanish culture.

The dining philosophy at Bebemos is a nod to the Spanish lifestyle, more inclined towards Barcelona, and will stay true to Las Tapas culture of socialising, sharing food, and sangrias. Exhibiting a deep understanding of authentic Spanish flavours is Chef Marc Mañosa who will lead the kitchen at the restaurant as head chef. Having spent the formative years of his culinary journey working across Barcelona’s restaurants, Chef Marc’s culinary style is rooted in the city’s vibrant culture, and his culinary creations express the city’s unique vibe.

Home to a large live paella grill, diners at Bebemos can take their pick from five different types of paellas, with proteins ranging from assorted seafood to crustaceans as well as chicken and artichokes.

“Highlighting the Spanish way of life, Bebemos will bring the country’s most famous culinary tradition of Tapas to Dubai. With the launch of this tapas bar, LeMéridien village is adding more fun and energy to its varied dining experiences,” Carlo Javakhia, executive assistant manager at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel and Conference Centre, said.

“Bebemos will offer great food and beverages, a vibrant ambience, and great entertainment. The décor will offer the distinct culture of Barcelona with art and music where the food menu is creative and simply delicious. Chef Marc has created an exotic selection, boasting of robust Spanish flavours that are as authentic as they are creative.”
