Sunrise over Fashion Avenue paints the terrace in golden light as Novikov Café unveils Mediterranean Encounters, a seasonal menu inspired by Riviera kitchens. The three signature dishes, Grilled Octopus, Fresh Pasta and Pistachio Ice Cream, present coastal flavours refined with careful technique. Available daily at Dubai Mall, the menu invites guests to linger, share and savour Mediterranean simplicity.
Coastal dining has found a fresh home at Novikov Café, where lightness and precision meet bold flavour. Mediterranean Encounters answers a growing appetite for menus that favour seasonal produce and honest technique, offering plates that feel at once familiar and thoughtfully updated. The concept focuses on three standout dishes that capture seaside evenings and sun-warmed markets.
- Handmade fresh pasta, prepared daily to showcase texture and flavour
- Grilled Octopus, charred and paired with French-style potatoes for depth
- Pistachio Ice Cream, finished with caramelised pistachios and olive oil
- Seasonal produce and refined plating for effortless elegance
Grilled Octopus arrives tender, with those signature char marks and a bed of French-style potatoes that recall simple coastal fare elevated by skill. The Fresh Pasta is made in-house each day, its sauces tuned to let the ingredients sing, from ripe tomatoes to delicate seafood. The Pistachio Ice Cream closes the meal on a savory-sweet note, silky and nutty, with a finishing drizzle of olive oil that ties back to the Mediterranean theme.
This menu feels designed for real life: a long lunch with colleagues, a relaxed afternoon with friends, or a refined dinner after a day of shopping. Novikov Café’s location in Fashion Avenue brings the advantage of terrace seating and people-watching, so dishes taste even better when paired with the city’s energy. The service aims to be attentive without rush, giving guests space to savour each course.
