The dover sole is one of our stand out signature dishes at restaurant The Great British Restaurant (on the main floor of Dukes Dubai). It says everything about the style of food we do and our identity. We source our fish through a supplier who used to be based in Billingsgate fish market in London. They understand the quality that chef Martin Cahill insists on. Here at GBR we cook beautiful classic British dishes using the best of British produce we can get in the gulf, and this dish is all about the quality produce chef Martin is very passionate about. So we keep it simple, and let the fish speak for itself and we get a well cooked lightly garnished fish dish.

Enjoy!
