Dining & Nightlife Middle East:
The Dry Age Boutique launches in Dubai
With most of us having limited access to premium quality dry aged meats (outside of fine dining establishments), many will be happy to hear that Dubai has opened The Dry Age Boutique.
A novel concept and far cry from a typical butcher shop, visitors of the world’s only ‘dry aged meat boutique’ will be greeted by the concept’s center piece, a record-breaking 8-metre-wide, triple glazed, Italian-crafted glass cold room where a premium selection of carefully sourced dry aged primal cuts are being displayed.
Once inside, guests will be assigned to an associate who can decide from the taste menu of samples grilled to order by the boutique’s in-house chef. Once a selection has been made, the high-grade cuts of dry aged beef, lamb, duck, deer or even camel will be presented in a luxury boutique style packaging.
The Dry Age Boutique is the brainchild of Mirco Beutler, a hospitality professional with more than 12 years of international and regional F&B experience. Known to industry insiders as The Dry Ager Guy, Mirco has supplied dry aged meats and dry ageing technology to fine dining restaurants, including New York City’s iconic Delmonico’s and Reserve Cut on Wall Street.
Over the years, Mirco has gleaned knowledge from several dry ageing experts such as chef Billy Oliva and Tom Swider from Buckhead Meat Headquarters in New Jersey, one of the most renowned dry aged meat producers in the USA.
Speaking about what guests can expect from the concept, Mirco said: “This will be the most luxurious and unique dry aged meat boutique in the world. We’ll take you on a culinary journey through various proteins dry-aged from 28 to 100 days and beyond. The varied selection includes cuts such as Rib-Eye Steak and the signature Dry Ager Guy T-Bone and Porterhouse but that’s not all, The Dry Age Boutique will also stock lamb and locally raised Camel Ouzi. We’ll also have dry aged duck and many other dry-aged innovations. This will allow us to cater to a wide range of real food lovers.”
Visitors to the shop will find some truly extraordinary cuts on display. Prices range from AED 395 for a kilo of Angus MS 3-4 to AED 2,225 per kilo of exclusive cuts including 9+ Wagyu or even Japanese A5 that are rarely available for sale to consumers as dry aged products.
An unrivalled guest experience is also where The Dry Age Boutique will make its mark. Everyone involved in the project has undergone a rigorous selection and training process to ensure that the highest service standards and product knowledge are not only reached but also maintained.
Another standout feature of the boutique is The Tasting Room, where guests can taste their selections before they purchase and be advised on the suggested cooking method and temperature of each cut. The Tasting Room will also host culinary experiences and serve as an educational space.
Open Monday to Saturday 12.00 noon to 9.00pm, Friday from 3.00pm to 10.00pm and is closed on Sunday.
