Further ensuring that each diner is able to fully immerse themselves in the enchanting tastes of Chivas whisky, a Chivas mixologist will visit every table with a tasting trolley to explain the concept behind the brand and the unique aging process that is used to make every bottle.
Fusing the magical flavours of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, the array of sharing-style dishes can be enjoyed out in the cool winter air on the stunning open terrace, or inside in the artistically adorned dining room. The Nikkei Brunch set menu encompasses delicate bites such as tuna midori ceviche, salmon truffle tataki, authentic beef aged gyoza and prawn tempura, plus a selection of special cocktails that Buddha-Bar Beach’s talented mixologists have created exclusively for the event.

Founded in Scotland in the 19th century by the Chivas brothers, the curated experience at Buddha-Bar Beach will highlight the rich, full-bodied and immensely drinkable nature of the irresistible new Chivas Extra 13. Inspired by the Chivas brothers’ 13 King Street emporium in Aberdeen, where they imported different spirits, exotic spices and luxury food items from across the globe, the new product comes in two varieties, with one type selectively matured for 13 years in Oloroso Sherry casks, and the other matured in bourbon casks. Crafted in Strathisla, the oldest working distillery in the Scottish Highlands and one that dates all the way back to 1786, the unique Strathisla single malt is at the heart of each and every Chivas Regal blend.
Available to enjoy exclusively on Saturday, February 12 from 7pm to 10pm, the ’13 King Street Brunch’ is priced AED 375 for food and selected non-alcoholic beverages, and AED 495 for food and selected house beverages.
