Ex-The Act chef Roberto Segura opens Craft Cafe

Craft Cafe has opened in Dubai Design District (d3), making it one of the first F&B outlets in the area.

The new café has been launched by 3 Hospitality, a new company co-founded by ex-The Act Dubai chef Roberto Segura and Domenico Iannone.

According to a statement by the company, 3 Hospitality will specialise in restaurant launches, solutions for existing outlets, restaurant performance analysis as well as concept and branding development.

At Craft Cafe, chef Segura aims to use locally sourced food where possible, and also includes some inspiration from his native Peru on the menu, including a Peruvian single original coffee.

Dishes on the menu include slow-cooked duck waffles; French toast roll ups with strawberries, and seared salmon nori wraps.

The café also boasts a Josper oven, where gambas aioli, beef anticucho and baby chicken will be prepared.

Commenting on the launch, Segura said: “Our dishes have been lovingly created to ensure we deliver healthy, hearty, soulful food and our variety of options will provide something for everyone.”
