January marks a time of renewal, embracing balance, wellness and the joy of mindful living, and Four Seasons Hotel DIFC leads this journey with an array of thoughtfully curated dining experiences that beautifully balance health and indulgence.
From a sugar-free reimagination of Afternoon Tea at Penrose Lounge to plant-based innovations and non-alcoholic signature cocktails at MINA Brasserie, Four Seasons Hotel DIFC celebrates the New Year, inspiring all to usher in a healthier and brighter year ahead with nourishing indulgence.
Penrose Lounge
From January 7, 2025, Penrose Lounge redefines indulgence with a sugar-free Afternoon Tea that beautifully inspires wellness and mindful eating, without compromising on flavour.
Served daily from 2:00 to 6:00 pm, the exquisite experience features a selection of naturally derived sugar alternatives including white crystalline date sugar, crafted from dates through an all-natural extraction process, and coconut sugar, a champion of eco-friendly sweetness.
Highlights from the specially crafted menu include Choux – chocolate cream, crowned with cocoa nibs, as well as a decadent Date Cake, enveloped with date ganache and velvety chocolate.
Pistachio & Raspberry features light and fluffy pistachio mousse, topped with a vibrant raspberry confit, while the Carrot Cake – a timeless classic - is adorned with decadent cream cheese frosting.
Complimenting the sweet guilt-free treats is an assortment of traditional Scones, Madeleine and Maritozzi. Served with a choice freshly brewed coffee or an assortment of refreshing teas, guests can also opt to enhance the experience with a glass of champagne.
MINA Brasserie
For those seeking to embrace plant-based dining, MINA Brasserie embraces Veganuary with a menu that is as indulgent as it is nourishing.
Each dish celebrates the creativity and vibrancy of plant-based ingredients, curated to delight the senses while promoting wellness. The enticing menu includes Kale & Quinoa Salad, tossed with dried cranberries, avocado, pumpkin seeds and dressed with a ginger dressing.
Hearty main courses include Vegan Spaghetti Bolognese with a mushroom ragout, Eggplant Milanese – a crispy yet tender ode to Italian comfort food, accompanied with an oriental salad and a lemon tahina dressing.
Cauliflower Steak is a bold and flavourful vegan centrepiece, served with a tomato chipotle sauce, chimichurri, and a lemon tahina dressing, while the Meatless Burger is a satisfying dish, decorated with gem lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, crispy quinoa, and a vegan mayonnaise.
Completing the meal on a sweet and wholesome note, Mina Brasserie serves Pineapple – a medley of fresh pineapple, coconut sorbet, adorned with coconut and pineapple chips, as well as Vegan Chocolate Cake – layers of rich chocolate, balanced with the sweet and tart fresh raspberries.
Perfectly pairing with its Veganuary dishes and as a bright and refreshing start to the year, MINA Brasserie unveils a signature collection of 0% ABV beverages. The handcrafted and sophisticated creations offer the perfect refreshment, with a wellness-focused twist.
Calm is serene infusion of homemade non-alcoholic chamomile gin, aloe vera, apple juice and honey cordial and perfectly captures a moment of stillness in the DIFC’s urban buzz, evoking a refreshing pause to retune and recharge.
Blaze captures the energy of the city and is a vibrant blend of beetroot juice, cherry syrup, lemon juice and sparkling soda, offering a detoxifying yet indulgent tonic. Boost is vivacious fusion of jasmine tea, hydrating coconut water and fresh lemongrass, perfect for kicking off the day or hitting reset in style.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.
Wonderful event and topics discussed, hopefully we see the manifestations in our African airline businesses in the nearest future. Kudos to you all.
