Step Into the World of Bar Dali – Maison Dali's New Cocktail Bar
By nightfall, Maison Dali transforms – hidden within the iconic curves of The Opus by Dame Zaha Hadid, Bar Dali emerges as a dreamscape of surrealist mischief, inventive cocktails, and cinematic storytelling. A new chapter in Maison Dali's ever-evolving narrative, Bar Dali is a nocturnal reverie – a velvet-draped hideaway where Salvador Dalí's whimsical spirit meets modern mixology, and each detail beckons the curious to stay and explore. Designed by Culinary Arts Group, led by award-winning Chef Tristin Farmer and Beverage Director Vitor Hugo Lourenço, Bar Dali is not simply an extension of Maison Dali – it is a destination within a destination. Step beyond the red carpet, past flickering lights and plush interiors, and you enter an atmosphere where theatricality and taste collide. Sculptural seating, mischievous art installations and softly glowing shadows conspire to pull guests deeper into the story. Here, cocktails become the conversation. Inspired by the immersive worlds of the Arte Museum, Vitor's signature BARTENDER menu for Bar Dali features 10 visionary creations, each a liquid vignette. Discover SYMPHONY, delicate and floral; LUNAR, peated and umami-rich; and DEEP SEA, dark, elegant, and timeless. Each cocktail is both a visual and flavour performance – artful, expressive, and unexpected. Complementing the libations is a curated selection of bold bites and elevated handrolls. Chef Tristin Farmer reimagines bar dining through a lens of global playfulness and finesse. Savour small plates like Wagyu Hashbrowns and Crispy Truffle Mochi, or linger with indulgent rolls like Unagi & Foie Gras and Smoked Caviar & Wasabi – each bite a story, each dish an exclamation. As night falls deeper, Bar Dali's energy hums with sensuality and rhythm. A soundtrack of curated beats animates the space, transforming every visit into a mood – a whisper, a laugh, a spark. This is not a bar. This is Bar Dali – a secret unveiled after dark, where nothing is quite what it seems and everything is designed to delight. Red Passion Hour An ode to aperitivo hour, Red Passion Hour invites guests to unwind every weekday from 5 PM to 7 PM. With a line-up of seductive Campari-forward classics – including the Classico Negroni, Garibaldi, Boulevardier, and Mezcal Negroni – as well as bold G&Ts and the ever-bold Americano, each sip is a toast to the surreal. Priced from AED 45, this golden hour ritual is your first glimpse into Bar Dali's world of bold flavour and visual fantasy. Red Passion Hour Offering: Selection of cocktails priced at AED 45 each Red Passion Hour Operating Hours: Monday to Friday from 5 pm to 7 pm Bar Dali Operating Hours: Monday to Thursday from 6 pm to 12:30 am & Friday to Saturday 6 pm to 1:30 am *For reservations and more information, please email [email protected]?or call 04 257 9554

Chef Tristin Farmer to Host Maison Dalí Pop-Up at Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen
Building from the launch of Maison Dalí in Dubai, Chef Partner and Culinary Director Tristin Farmer is set to take his modern brasserie overseas for a limited-time pop-up in Copenhagen. From 12 June to 12 July, the restaurant will take over the Japanese Pagoda at Tivoli Gardens — a space reserved for Michelin-starred establishments from around the world — bringing with it a surreal culinary journey that blends Mediterranean soul with Japanese precision. An acclaimed name in the fine dining world, Scottish-born Chef Tristin Farmer has played an instrumental role in shaping globally celebrated kitchens. With a career rooted in the Michelin-starred establishments of Petrus, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay and Maze, Tristin later moved to Singapore where he spearheaded the Nordic-Japanese concept ZEN — earning two Michelin stars soon after opening and a third Michelin star in 2021. Now based in Dubai, Tristin brings his vision to life at Maison Dalí, located at The Opus by OMNIYAT. Inspired by the surrealist world of Salvador Dalí, the restaurant presents refined yet playful cuisine — blending Mediterranean flavours with Japanese techniques in a setting where imagination meets precision. At the Tivoli Gardens pop-up, diners can expect the same level of detail and creativity that defines the Maison Dalí experience. A set menu — available for lunch at DKK 1,100 per person and dinner at DKK 1,900 per person — showcases standout dishes such as Mahogany Clam with cucumber, shiso and wasabi, King Crab with fermented pineapple and ikura, and Smoked Langoustine with juniper and kinome. Also featured are bold and surprising combinations like Fried Quail with caviar and kosho, Mangalitsa Pork with galangal vierge and char siu, and a whimsical take on dessert with a S'more made from cocoa nib koji, sesame and walnut. The Maison Dalí residency at Tivoli Gardens offers a rare opportunity to experience Chef Tristin's personal culinary language in a setting as enchanting as the food itself. Bookings are now open for this limited-time experience.

Book a Dalí-Inspired Dining Experience in Dubai
The distinctive, surrealist aesthetic of Spanish artist Salvador Dalí serves as the inspiration for one of the newest gems in the UAE's culinary scene. Maison Dalí, located at The Opus by Zaha Hadid in Dubai offers delectable Mediterranean- Japanese cuisine within a bold and theatrical space. 'Salvador Dalí is an illustration of how genius and madness are related,' says three- Michelin-starred chef Tristin Farmer, who is also the culinary director at Culinary Arts Group – the Singaporean collective behind Maison Dali. 'We wanted a space to reflect this, where nothing is quite as it seems. A beautiful space with elegance and touches of surrealism from the artwork; a high-energy space oozing with personality.' Maison Dali photographed by Alex Jeffries Red curtains finished off with metallic tassels and artwork depicting optical illusions invoke drama and mystique, and a private hideaway within the restaurant hosts The Dali Supper Club. Innovative dishes on offer include King Crab Ceviche, Smoked Lobster Donabe and Wood Fired Duck – a fusion of Japanese and Mediterranean influences. 'Behind all of this is a complex plethora of dry ageing, fermentation, marination, seasonings and cooking techniques, building layers of flavour and complexity with subtle nuances of depth. It's flavour-forward, umami-driven and ingredient-focussed cooking,' explains Farmer.
