An ingredient in spotlight
Dubai restaurant ZENON is putting one of gastronomy’s most sought-after ingredients in the spotlight with a limited-edition white truffle menu, available until 5 December.
White Gold
White truffles are the kind of ingredient that needs little introduction in the world of fine dining. Hidden beneath the soil and prized for their rarity, these little culinary treasures are known for their intoxicating aroma and earthy, almost garlicky flavour.
Their season is fleeting, making them all the more special. Rather than being cooked, they’re often shaved generously over freshly prepared dishes. This allows their unmistakable fragrance to take centre stage. It’s this seasonal delicacy that ZENON is celebrating with its latest menu.
Running from 25 October to 5 December, the special à la carte selection has been created by Executive Chef Danilo Prota. White truffle will be taking centre stage across starters, pasta, mains and desserts.
The Menu
The menu opens with Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, seasoned simply with sea salt, black pepper and olive oil, alongside a Truffle Green Salad featuring asparagus, cherry tomatoes, mixed lettuce and truffle dressing.
Pasta fans can tuck into Homemade Tagliolini with White Truffle, while the Egg Spinach Ravioli combines spinach, ricotta and egg yolk for a richer bite.
For the main event, there’s Tenderloin Rossini, served with foie gras and chicken jus. Even dessert gets a truffle twist, with Truffle Ice Cream and Brioche with Zabaglione rounding off the experience.
Located at Kempinski Central Avenue in Downtown Dubai, ZENON is known for pairing contemporary gastronomy with digital installations, atmospheric lighting and striking interiors.
The restaurant’s white truffle menu is available daily from 6pm until 5 December 2026.
