Dubai’s dining scene is studded with numerous award-winning establishments. No doubt, Levantine cuisine is among the most popular in the glittering city. Chef Salam Daqqaq particularly stands out from the rest when it comes to award-winning, closer-to-home food. The founding chef of Bait Maryam opened her new restaurant – Sufret Maryam on 1st August.
Offering an elevated take on Levantine cuisine, the restaurant aims to continue the legacy of Bait Maryam, which garnered acclaim and prestigious awards such as the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmet (2022, 2023, 2024). Chef-Owner Salam Daqqaq, who was named Best Female Chef by the World’s 50 Best as the Middle East & North Africa’s (MENA), leads the culinary team, ensuring a dining experience that transcends beyond borders and cultures.
“Since the start of Bait Maryam, our journey has been nothing short of incredible, heart-warming filled with love, passion and most importantly deep connection to our roots. We knew we had to bring a new version of Bait Maryam, one that’s modern and elevated, yet still deeply engrained in heritage. We cannot wait to open our doors to guests and share with them our new approach to the Levantine cuisine. So much love and effort went into the details of Sufret Maryam which guests will be able to immerse in throughout their dining experience.’’
