2014
Launch will Celebrate All Things Spanish with Traditional Tapas, Sharing Dishes,
Live Music & Sports
Launching in early January 2014, Cielo is a two-floor Spanish-themed
tapas bar and sky-lounge at the Dubai Creek Yacht Club overlooking the stunning
Creek – with panoramic views across Dubai - featuring authentically innovative
food, Bodega-style restaurant, chic roof terrace, live music and sports.
“I have always been inspired and
excited about the variety of cuisines and experiences which can be found across
Spain and we have developed Cielo Tapas Bar and Sky Lounge to celebrate this –
from rural to urban, mainland to coastal,” said Markus Thesleff, Co-Founder of
Whissle.
“From the menu, through to music,
décor and beverages, we are working with a highly experienced team directly
from Spain – to create a concept which is unique and exciting for the residents
and visitors of Dubai alike,” continued Thesleff.
Cielo Tapas Bar
Modeled on the traditional rustic Bodega
style venues of Madrid and Barcelona, Cielo tapas bar and restaurant on the
first floor will feature favourite Spanish dishes, ideal for sharing, and an
enviable selection of wines, sangrias and cocktails. Heralding from the celebrated Chiringuito Juan
y Andrea in Formentera, Ibiza, Cielo’s head chef brings innovation, passion and
authenticity to the menu.
To celebrate the fresh flavours of
Spain, a selection of delicious paellas, ideal to share, is on offer including
the traditional ‘Paella Marisco’ Seafood
Paella and the incredibly delectable ‘Paella
de Fideua’ which is a special form of Paella made with angel
hair pasta instead of rice.
Main courses include a range of
meat, seafood, broths and canelones such as the ‘Bacalao A La Vizcaina Vizcaina style Cod and the most traditional ‘Lubina a la Sal’ Whole baked salt
encrusted seabass which anyone who has visited Spain is surely familiar with.
In addition to dining the tapas
bar will feature a DJ playing Latin music from funky salsa to soulful samba, live
sports, including all La Liga games, as well as live performances from Flamenco dancers.
Cielo Sky Lounge
The sophisticated Cielo Sky Lounge
& Terrace – accessible via a VIP elevator - is sure to become the new home
of the Dubai Fashionistas and Hipsters. The open
air terrace has spectacular views over the iconic Dubai Creek and is reminiscent
of the Island of Ibiza with a décor of cool blues and whites. This Ultra-chic
Sky Lounge roof Terrace is set to become the most talked about and must-visit
party destination in Dubai featuring some of the best DJ’s, ambiance and views
to kill for not to mention one of the most fantastic places to enjoy the sunset with views across the Creek and Burj
Khalifa.
The Sky Lounge will also serve a
selection of Tapas with highlights including: ‘Ceviche de Kingfish a Nuestra Manera’ Cielo-style ceviche with
citrus dressing and seaweed, ‘Pulpo e Feria’ Mediterranean octopus, ‘Gambas a la Sal’ sizzling prawns served
on a hotplate, and ‘Tostada de Sobrassada
de Mallorca’ toasted rustic bread served with Sobrassada, honey and melted
cheese.
Once the sun has set and the moon
is up the Cielo Sky Lounge will transform into a late-lounge destination with
music and performances from international big name celebrity DJs. The ambience
will provide a unique destination for Dubai residents to escape the city, enjoy
drinks and be transported to the Iberian islands.
Cielo is the latest concept in the
Whissle portfolio – the Dubai based full service boutique hospitality company
founded by Markus Thesleff and Ramzy Abdul-Majeed, who are the co-founders of
the multi-award winning OKKU Luxury Japanese Restaurant, CLAW BBQ, Crabshack
& Grill. & Lounge, RIVA on Palm Jumeirah, and Sophie’s Gastro Café.
