📍S09, La Mer, Jumeriah Beach, Jumeriah 1, Dubai.
So, on todays episode of ‘Where did Salmah eat’, we were at one of the coolest places I’ve been to, Catch 22. I hadn’t seen my friend Dina in ages and she suggested we had lunch there. So we weeeennttttt!
AMBIENCE:
I legit couldn’t stop myself from taking photos of this place. Their website talked about how dining at the restaurant is more of an ‘experience’ than anything else and I totally agree.
I was wandering around the space and observing everything. Felt like I was in a pop art magazine because of the colors, art display panels, neon lights and what not. I also liked that it was glazing and not solid walls, so it was a nice inside-outside feel.
They even had a photo booth where you could ‘catch the moment’ as written above the entrance, but then we forgot to take one. Well, our instax photos will have to suffice.
I also liked how they had mini recessed rooms for the drinks and sushi bar. I got to watch the chef make the sushi, which I always find so interesting. I’ve been wanting to learn tbh, cause the amount of money I’d save if I learnt how to make sushi myself would be insane!
SERVICE:
Our waitress was the sweetest, she helped suggest good options and whatnot. Also, how cool is it that they literally bring your bill in a mitten with a baseball in it? Asper ‘catch’.
FOOD:
I liked how I had the option to have a burger and sushi all in one seating! They have a variety of cuisines available for you to choose from.
Thai Grilled Salmon Salad – AED 65
Sushi Summer Promo – AED 99
Angus Beef Slider – AED 40

Pina Colada – AED 30

SALMAH’S SIDENOTE:
Make sure you use the photo-booth unlike me.
Also, there are a few other branches, but I’d suggest you go to the one in La Mer so you could take a walk after eating.
REVIEW OF FOOD:
Pina Colada – AED 30
Didn’t want a lemonade so I decided to go for something different. It had passion fruit in it so yeah I was very happy.
Angus Beef Sliders – AED 40
These were sooooo yummy! Never had a burger with avocado in it, so this was an interesting twist. The patty was really tasty and cooked well.
Thai Grilled Salmon Salad – AED 65
Such a healthy looking plate no?
Sushi Summer Promo – AED 99
We found out about this promo upon arrival and I was doing cartwheels inside! We get to mix and match the sushi we like. We had the Crispy Lobster x Crab, Samurai Roll, Dragon Roll and Flaming Salmon Roll being my fave because of the jalapeño.
