Dubai’s food scene keeps leveling up, but the latest opening takes a totally new approach. LOMA has just launched as the city’s first probiotic-focused restaurant and bakery, offering a spot where wellness and taste go hand in hand.
The space feels calm and uncluttered, with soft colors, natural textures, and sleek lines. There’s even a private room for business lunches or small gatherings, making it a versatile choice for both day and night.
Sicilian-born Chef Matteo Casamichela leads the kitchen. He calls his style “fine probiotic dining,” blending Mediterranean techniques with functional nutrition. The menu revolves around fermented date fibre, a single ingredient that adds gentle sweetness, texture, and prebiotic benefits to breads, desserts, and even ice creams.
Every dish is designed with balance in mind — light but satisfying baked goods, desserts that feel indulgent without overdoing it, and meals that nourish your gut while staying full of flavor. Drinks are equally thought-through: energised water, “structured using hydrodynamic principles inspired by Victor Schauberger and enriched with bio-informed trace minerals.”
Plates are crafted to keep you energized and focused, proving you don’t have to compromise taste for health. Whether you’re curious about fermented date fibre or simply want a dining spot that prioritizes both flavor and wellbeing, this place is worth a visit.
Dubai is packed with exciting food concepts, and LOMA is a perfect example of how the city keeps reinventing itself. Keep exploring — there are plenty of unique restaurants in Dubai to discover in 2025.
