About this place
Come for shaved ice at a café, or settle in for a bistro meal: Cafe&Restaurant STELLA has dishes to suit either occasion. Summer visitors have singled out the Dubai Chocolate Orange and Mt. Fuji Matcha shaved ice. The ice is light and fluffy, with plenty of house-made sauce. The Dubai Chocolate Orange combines rich pistachio cream and chocolate sauce with the freshness of orange zest; crisp feuilletine and pistachio ice cream inside add further texture and flavour, one visitor reported. The menu also lists shaved ice with strawberry and pistachio, black sesame, and sweet potato, alongside Dubai Chocolate Orange. Flavours change with the seasons, so check what is available when you visit.
For a meal, consider the blue crab tomato-cream pasta or beef cheeks braised in red wine. A diner who tried both as part of a course menu described enjoying the crab-infused tomato-cream sauce and the beef cheeks, which fell apart tenderly in the mouth. Lunch choices include the pasta of the day, grilled chicken steak and pork braised in balsamic vinegar. A bread, soup and salad bar can also be added.
The restaurant has private rooms, and some visitors have described the interior as spacious and relaxing. Whether you are meeting over lunch or dinner, or stopping by for coffee and dessert, you can choose your visit around what you feel like eating.
