The Morii Fine Dining Experience

Discover the soul of Middle Eastern cuisine, reimagined

When evening falls, Morii transforms into an eclectic fine dining destination, where each bite alludes to centuries of Middle Eastern hospitality, with a twist. Indulge in specialities like manakish pizzas with burnt pineapple, Jerusalem-style pretzels, abundant salads, and seasonal surprises from our creative chefs.

Afternoon Tea

Taste, tradition, and tranquility

Picture a relaxed, sunlit afternoon on the Mediterranean as you join us for a Middle Eastern-inspired Afternoon Tea experience: delicate sandwiches filled with creamy labneh and fresh herbs, light pastries that melt in your mouth, fragrant jasmine bonbons, luscious tarts, and more—all paired with a selection of fine teas and infusions.

Top tip: Try our special Vineyard Blend that you won’t find anywhere else.
