Having served as Zuma’s executive head chef in both Dubai and London, this Isle of Man native shares Othman’s pedigree – as well as an illustrious trajectory in the Dubai dining scene. From working in the pre-opening team at Burj Al Arab to opening the beloved Ivy Dubai, launching award-winning and much missed restaurant Qbara and taking the executive chef spot in Jean George’s first Dubai kitchen, Clague has played a significant role in the evolution of Dubai’s restaurant industry.
Not surprisingly then, his latest venture was awaited with bated breath by the city’s gastronomes, who haven’t been disappointed with the contemporary riffs on Anatolian cuisine that Clague creates at Ruya. The brand new restaurant in Grosvenor House Dubai Marina boasts beautiful views, a chic setting and delicious insights into the flavours of regional Turkey – showcasing Colin’s signature subtlety and devotion to fresh, authentic ingredients.
