Set to launch in one of the most popular dining scenes in Dubai, Fernando Trocca and Tato Giovannoni reinterpret their Buenos Aires original, launching their second international outpost in Dubai’s International Financial Center (DIFC), following the recent door opening in London’s trending Soho district.
Since its 2001 launch in Argentina, SUCRE has been coveted as a leading concept in contemporary Latin American cuisine, being featured the Latin American 50 Best Restaurants. Hailed as chef and master of open-fire cooking, Chef Fernando Trocca combines traditional open fire techniques from the South American continent with a breadth of global influences that have shaped the contemporary cuisine of his home city and inspired his restaurants across the globe while staying true to his heritage. Trocca’s approach centers carefully sourced, fresh, and quality ingredients prepared in exciting and unexpected arrangements – blending Italian, Spanish and Latin American influences. The ever-evolving menu is curated by the chef to offer a stylish simplicity to some of Latin’s favourite dishes such as King Crab Tostada, Argentinian Bone In Ribeye and Squid Ink Paella – compiled onto a 1 page tastefully constructed menu.
Designed by Japanese architect Noriyoshi Muramatsu, the restaurant maintains a similar look and feel across all three venues – using a warm palette which nods to the brand’s heritage, combining the grandeur of Argentenian history with raw, industrial features and bespoke glass chandeliers. Placing the chefs under the spot light, the open kitchen will play host to a dramatic fire place and wood oven. The venue will feature a bar, lounge, terrace and restaurant including live entertainment bringing the Latin beat to the heart of Dubai.
Putting a distinct Latin American passion for flavour at the forefront, SUCRE is set to offer a simple yet seductive culinary experience that steers away from the traditional perception of Dubai’s dining scene.
