Gastronomica ME
Gastronomica is a leading restaurant operator of homegrown original, upscale dining concepts with operations in Kuwait, UAE, Oman, KSA, Qatar and Bahrain. Founded in 2003, Gastronomica is the brainchild of Basil Al Salem with offices based out of Kuwait and Dubai. After nurturing his concepts part time in his home kitchen and inventing the alchemy that would transform a pedestrian product into the core part of a total dining experience, Basil was ready to launch his first restaurant, b+f Burger Boutique in 2005, which became an instant benchmark in the industry. The future of the restaurant business is no longer the food, but providing customers with a stand out experience. With more than nine unique concepts created in-house from the ground up, Gastronomica aims to be the leader of original dining concepts in the Middle East. By carving out a niche of focusing on high-quality products, the company principle is to create a Total Dining Experience. Gastronomica holds underneath its umbrella: b+f Burger Boutique, Burger Boutique Black, Slider Station, b+f Roadside Diner, OFK, b+f OFK, Cocoa Room, White Robata, Nomad and Lazy Cat.
