Head to the beach for a delicious outdoor experience.

Carnivores will be delighted at the latest pop-up to inhabit The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain’s gorgeous beachfront venue, Nikmati, as the much-loved Plums moves outdoors to become Plums Al Fresco.

This makes the meat-eater’s paradise the fifth offering in a series of gastronomic concepts since the inception of Nikmati. And, with a specially curated menu, guests can look forward to a truly authentic outdoor culinary experience making it ideal for a romantic date night or a special family dinner.

Led by Chef de Cuisine, Alexis Knecht, who joined the property in 2017, Plums Al Fresco will dare its diners’ imaginations as their palates are treated to a gastronomic journey through the outlet’s premium steak and seafood selection amidst the swaying palm trees and the gentle breeze of the Arabian Gulf.

“I am proud to announce that Plums Al Fresco will be moving outdoors with a special menu carefully curated by our Chef de Cuisine Alexis Knecht, under the guidance of our newly appointed Director of Culinary and Food and Beverage, Yann Bernard Lejard,” says General Manager Bernard de Villèle. “As the world slowly gets back on its feet, Plums Al Fresco will be a breath of fresh air, becoming an ideal venue for culinary connoisseurs who appreciate the bounties from land and sea, accompanied by the unique flavours of signature appetisers as well as delectable desserts.”

Plums Al Fresco’s special menu boasts a selection of premium steak and seafood from the only Josper grill in Bahrain. Crowd favourites include US Black Angus Beef Tenderloin with grilled asparagus or steamed vegetables with olive oil and thyme, Chateaubriand, Australian Lamb Rack, and a sumptuous plate of salmon or local seabass. For appetisers, Foie Gras and sea scallop are a must try to start the dining experience on a tasteful note. An after-dinner treat of creative desserts abounds including cheesecake, roasted pineapple with coconut ice cream and Triple Chocolate Cake with strawberry ice cream.

Located next to the marina with the sparkling Arabian Gulf as a backdrop, Plums Al Fresco’s design provides a familial atmosphere of a hanging garden, embellished with top hats taken from its original location and complemented by the black and amber accents of each table.

Plums Al Fresco pop-up will operate until June 30, subject to current restrictions. ✤
