The café, Emirati culinary head chef Sergio Lopez’s first solo venture in the capital, has that bone-dry class. The breakfast menu is full of bright, innovative and appealing taste experiences such as cheese moutabell (Dhs59), sweet potato breakfast pizza (Dhs59), BELT croissant (bacon, egg, lettuce and tomato) (Dhs59), tahini toast ( Dhs59), which is just a smoldering appetizer.
