The universe has been pushing us towards a more commercial enterprise just as hard as she can and I’ve done my best to resist but I can see that a commitment one way or the other is needed.

Between the risks of food service during Covid-19, my children’s educations moving online from home and our new landlord’s development plans for Mina Zayed I feel the time is ripe for change and that my attention is needed outside of the kitchen.

We will close this version of Marmellata on September 24th with every intention of building something equally wonderful and infinitely more robust even if slightly more “underground” :) When and where I don’t know but in the meanwhile I am eternally grateful for your embrace.

Abu Dhabi is a beautiful tapestry of weird and wonderful, that we were a blip on your radar is enormously soul satisfying, thank you for that. Thank you also for enriching our family and for pushing us towards our best, inshallah our best is still ahead...

Deep appreciation for all of you and onwards the adventure!

***PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL BE CLOSED BETWEEN NOW AND SEPTEMBER 24TH***
