The first decision at Farmhouse by Syrco is one for the whole table. Do you each want to choose a dish, or would you rather let the kitchen send out five courses to share? Both options featured in the restaurant’s September reopening at The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert.
The three set menus are called Chef’s Selection, Chef’s Favourites and Chef’s Prestige. All three follow the same five-course sharing format, so the names alone tell you little about which to order. Ask what distinguishes them that evening. The kitchen describes a progression through appetisers, cold and warm dishes, a chef’s special and dessert. It names Dibba Bay oysters among the ingredients it works with, alongside local tuna and shrimp. Ask which seafood is on the menu if there is one dish you particularly want to try.
The Chef’s Table is a separate experience in the redesigned restaurant. A booking for a sharing menu doesn’t by itself reserve that space. For a group with different appetites or dietary needs, check whether the kitchen can adapt a shared course, what the full price includes and whether everyone needs to choose the same menu. The à la carte option gives each diner more say over what arrives.
