- Culinary storyteller Hani AlMaki (Bedouin Foodie) co-created this inventive steak plate.

The culinary world just got a lot more dramatic. The neighborhood bistro A Normal Day has partnered with Hani AlMaki, the globally minded palate behind @BedouinFoodie, to create “The Crown.” This limited-edition dish is a playful, inventive reawakening of French classics, designed to be both deeply satisfying and utterly spectacular for social media. It is a must-try for every serious Dubai food lover.
The concept was born from Bedouin Foodie’s desire to re-excite diners about traditional dishes like Steak Frites. He brought his idea of reinterpretation to the kitchen team at A Normal Day, a bistro known for its grounded yet inventive style. After intense precision work and tastings, the final dish emerged: The Crown. It anchors a tender filet mignon with a delicate, oversized Italian ravioli sitting regally on top, accompanied by a side of perfectly cooked fries.
The true genius lies in the details. The ravioli is generously filled with A Normal Day’s technically perfect cacio e pepe sauce. The magic, and the Instagrammable moment, happens when you cut into the crown, releasing a rich stream of the elegant sauce onto the steak below. This is not just dining; it’s theater. It’s familiar in its flavors, borrowing the comfort of classic French cuisine, but thoroughly modern in its attitude and presentation.
The Crown embodies what both the Bedouin Foodie and A Normal Day champion: food that’s rooted in quality ingredients and tradition yet expressed with personality and fun. It’s warm, rich, and truly indulgent. While designed to be shared, the temptation to keep the AED 295 plate all to yourself is completely understandable.
This collaboration reflects a growing trend where culinary influencers are moving beyond reviews and directly shaping the dining scene with unique, high-impact dishes.
This special plate is available exclusively at A Normal Day, starting Friday, December 12th. Given the limited run and the popularity of both the Bedouin Foodie and the bistro, this dish is set to become the most talked-about plate in Dar Al Wasl. Don’t miss your chance to taste this unique fusion of French elegance and Italian richness before it disappears. Make your reservation today!
