Tom & Serg

Australian native Tom Arnel and Spanish-born Sergio Lopez teamed up to create Tom & Serg – an industrial Melbourne-style café in the Middle East.

Enter the warehouse-like space, decorated with exposed vents and cement floors. You’ll sense the urban cafe vibe immediately. And in true-blue Aussie style, the cappuccino and flat white (a Kiwi and Aussie coffee drink that’s similar to a latte) is served with milk steamed just shy of 65-degrees Celsius. After you take a sip, you’ll realise why Tom & Serg pride themselves on great coffee.

The kitchen turns out haute cafe fare: warm banana and hazelnut bread with poached pears, spiced maple and fresh mascarpone; banh mi baguettes with beef brisket, kimchi, lime mayonnaise, jicama and fresh herbs; pumpkin risotto with grilled tiger prawns.
