At One&Only One Za’abeel, the newly opened Qabu by Paco Morales merging the storied heritage of Al-Andalus with the modern culinary landscape. Under the guidance of Chef Paco Morales, known for his Michelin-starred prowess at Noor, Qabu offers an exploratory journey through ancient Moorish recipes reimagined for the contemporary palette.
Morales, alongside Paola Gualandi, crafts a narrative that weaves through the tapestry of time, presenting dishes that are as much a feast for the senses as they are a homage to the rich confluence of Western and Arab cultures.
The dining experience at Qabu transcends mere sustenance, offering a window into the soul of Al-Andalus, where every course tells a story, and every bite is a step through history.
