If the words “white truffle” make your heart skip a beat and your wallet whisper “be brave,” you’re in the right place. Cafe Milano at Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi (hello, Al Maryah Island glamour) is rolling out its White Truffle Menu—and yes, it’s the kind of seasonal event you mark on your calendar like a friend’s wedding. Available daily from 12:00 pm, November 8–30, Chef Delfino Chiarello has curated a lineup that treats Alba’s rarest treasure like the VIP it is.
Why You’ll Want to Dress Up Your Appetite
Cafe Milano is the UAE sibling of Washington D.C.’s icon, which means it nails the sweet spot between fine-dining polish and “la famiglia” warmth. Add a waterfront view, polished service, and that unmistakable truffle perfume wafting through the room—and suddenly you’re main-character dining.
White truffles are the unicorn of Italian gastronomy: foraged for a few fleeting weeks, impossible to farm, and famous for turning good dishes into “do not disturb, I’m having a moment” masterpieces. Translation: blink and you’ll miss them.
The Menu: Subtle Flex, Maximum Flavor
Start light, flex heavy:
- Zuppa del Giorno – the chef’s comforting daily soup, ready to cuddle your soul.
- Carpaccio di Capesante – Hokkaido scallops + Oscietra caviar + toasted hazelnuts + truffle champagne vinegar. Basically, a mic-drop on a plate.
- Fagottino di Pollo e Verza – chicken and savoy cabbage roll with Fontina, topinambur purée, mushroom ragout, and truffle sauce. Cozy, clever, très truffly.
Mains that make you cancel plans:
- Tagliolini Fatti in Casa – fresh tagliolini in truffle butter, snowed under a flurry of shaved white truffle. Simple. Classic. Devastatingly good.
- Risotto di Asparagi – asparagus and topinambur risotto with delicate scampi tartare and a kiss of lemon.
- Filetto di Wagyu Australiano – Australian Wagyu tenderloin, roasted pumpkin purée, winter veg. A power move, elegantly plated.
- Filetto di Spigola Selvatica – pan-roasted seabass, porcini purée, pickled pioppini, leeks, Brussels sprouts, and silky truffle sauce. Sea breeze meets forest floor.
Sweet, but make it truffle:
- Il Bosco – chestnut parfait, pear compote, and truffle gelato. Yes, dessert can absolutely wear truffle and look fabulous.
Feeling extra? Add more white truffle for AED 95 per gram. (Each dish already includes 1g, but who are we to stop true love?)
