There are few things more joyful than finding a gem in one’s own city. La Casa Twenty Eight, tucked away in Medina Centrale on The Pearl, both surprises and delights. Offering a strong pavement cafe vibe for hubbly bubbly and al fresco dining, the interior is a cool Mediterranean shade, dark and alluring for clients ready to sample its cuisine.

Live music is on offer, but the tranquil interior has its majestic magic with soft velvet seating in a deep jade. While the outdoor area was lively and surprisingly busy for a school night, the indoor atmosphere was calm and serene – the perfect spot for a mid-week treat.

We started our journey with the tantalising Royal Shrimp. Juicy and tender, they were ingeniously wrapped in Knefeh, giving the whole morsel a light crispy texture, the perfect counterpoint to the succulent shrimp. They were absolutely divine.
