Dubai’s vibrant dining scene has welcomed a fresh wave of flavour and energy with the grand opening of Pelá, a Mediterranean restaurant poised to become a culinary hotspot at BCH:CLB, the iconic beach club at W Dubai – The Palm.
Officially launched on the 12th of October, the restaurant offers an exhilarating dining experience that blends bold coastal flavours with a lively atmosphere, capturing the essence of Mediterranean living.
Inspired by the term “Pelagic,” which evokes the open ocean, Pelá invites guests on a sensory journey through a menu that reflects the rich diversity of Mediterranean cuisine, all presented with a modern twist. To celebrate its grand debut, Pelá is hosting an unforgettable Signature Brunch that will transform an ordinary afternoon into an extraordinary experience.
From 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, guests can indulge in a culinary feast featuring an array of fresh and inventive dishes. Start your journey with refreshing Tzatziki or the Ceviche of the Day, then delight in mains such as succulent Chicken Souvlaki or a perfectly cooked Tenderloin. To round off the meal, sweet treats like the Mini Amalfi await, ensuring a satisfying conclusion to your brunch adventure. Brunch packages range from AED 350 for soft drinks to AED 795 for premium bubbles, catering to every preference.
The menu at Pelá is a bold tribute to coastal cuisine, where each dish is crafted to inspire. Begin with show-stopping starters like Oaked Smoked Peppers, zesty Seabass Ceviche, or the indulgent Pelá’s Otoro Caviar. For mains, dive into the rich, smoky Ouzo Flames Tiger Prawns, savour the tender Black Angus Tomahawk, or experience the spectacular 9-Fish Seafood Tower—a feast both for the eyes and the palate. And don’t miss the BCH’d Alaska and Mini Amalfi desserts, which provide a sweet finale to this culinary journey.
But Pelá is more than just exceptional food; it’s a celebration of the coastal lifestyle. The restaurant’s design is a vibrant homage to Mediterranean culture, featuring hues of Park Green, Fuchsia Pink, Tabriz Blue, and Mandarin Orange. From sleek whitewashed walls to lively acrylic accents, the decor creates a sophisticated yet energetic atmosphere that resonates with the rhythms of the sea.
General Manager Paolo Vergazzoli expressed his enthusiasm for the opening, stating, “We’re beyond excited to unveil Pelá to Dubai’s vibrant dining scene. With its bold Mediterranean flavours and unmatched coastal vibes, we’ve created a space where guests can escape to the essence of the Mediterranean right here in Palm Jumeirah. Every detail—from the menu to the decor—has been curated to transport our guests on an unforgettable culinary adventure.”
Pelá is set to operate from Monday to Thursday, 12 PM to 12 AM, and Friday to Sunday, 12 PM to 2 AM, welcoming those seeking a lively night out or a tranquil meal by the sea. As the sun sets over the horizon, the transition into the BCH:CLB sunset pool party promises to keep the energy flowing well into the night.
