The secret is out! A Lamb Feast Fit for Royalty Checks into Manhattan Grill, Grand Hyatt Dubai

The globally praised Texel lamb from Holland reveals its juicy secrets on your plate this April.

DUBAI (March 14, 2015) – If you thought the Manhattan Grill restaurant in Dubai, at Grand Hyatt only served up some great steaks then think again. This April Manhattan Grill goes Dutch as they will not only have the wholesaler from The Netherlands flying over for a special evening on Friday 3rd of April, but they will also be serving the coconut wood smoked Texel lamb rack the entire month. It is said that even Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrix (former Queen of The
Netherlands) is a fan of Texel lamb and served it at state banquets. 

Texel lamb has long been praised globally and is the leading breed of sheep in Europe. The breed originated from the island of Texel in The Netherlands and has since been introduced in different farming communities with New Zealand farmers taking a particular interest. However, the secret that sets the lambs coming from Holland apart from others is its characteristic taste of lightly salted meat which is derived from the salty air coming from the sea and the saline soil. Unlike traditional lamb, it cooks faster, is extremely tender with a delicate and juicy taste and has more meat with less bone and fat; all attributing to its superior quality. In general sheep are used for their meat as well as their wool production, however the Texel breed has been developed solely
for their fine meat and are therefore slaughtered between six and nine months of age at an average weight of 20kg.

The 700gram coconut wood smoked Texel lamb rack will be carved in front of the guest and accompanied with wild mushrooms and Idaho potatoes. This sharing portion for two sells at a price of AED430 and the waiting staff will be more than happy to recommend a pairing bottle of red grape.

TopQuisine is an Halal and Skal certified wholesaler who has recognized the premium meat products in the Dutch market for over 30 years. Working closely with selected farmers to improve the quality of the supply chain on a daily basis, they debone the carcasses themselves so every desired cut is possible to tailor the quality products to the demands of different markets.

TopQuisine’s partner in the region is Suma Gourmet, a Dubai based supplier of unique top quality gourmet food from all over the World. On Friday, 3rd of April the CEO and owner of TopQuisine, Mr. Anton Bal, and his colleague Ron de Vries will be at Manhattan Grill Dubai restaurant for one exclusive evening to interact with dining guests to explain further about the breeding, the flavor and uniqueness of Texel lamb.
