Homegrown Lebanese concept Esco-bar Coctel y Cocina expands in the UAE  

Esco-bar Coctel y Cocina has opened its doors in the stylish Palm West Beach Dubai. The casual bar-restaurant oozes authentic Latin culture with its cuisine, range of beverages, intricate interiors and vivacious vibes.

With seven outlets in Lebanon and one in Cairo, the focus of Marc Chehade, CEO at MEC Hospitality, and his partners is to continuously create spaces that evoke the best memories, with an emphasis on quality food and service.

The interior boasts Hispanic artistry, from the intricately verdant décor that depicts the old streets of Latin-American neighborhoods to neutral wood accents. Esco-bar’s aim is to transport guests from the streets of Colombia to Cuba and immerse them in the culture and atmosphere of the region, achieved by lush greenery and pops of yellow, chic lounges and dining areas, including an outdoor terrace.

Whether diners are seeking a wholesome meal or light bites, Esco-bar Coctel y Cocina offers flavorsome Latin American cuisine with favorites such as fajitas, pollo Cubano, pescado de Esco-Bar and camarones a la criolla. Lighter snacks include guacamole, calamar a la parilla and rolitos de salmon y mango. Some of Esco-bar’s palette-cleansing sweet treats include the fusion de chocolate and the torrijas caramelizadas. With a chic bar area, guests can enjoy a wide range of cocktails curated in true Esco-bar style. Drink highlights include the brand’s classic Latin American-influenced cocktails, such as a selection of Peruvian-style piscos, the El Hombre Dorado and Naranja Roja, to name a few.
