What a stealth surpise. This is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten it. The food is simple but incredibly tasty and well prepared. The service is amazing. For me this is a restaurant of superlatives. It was pretty empty at lunch and open all day. I liked it so much I went two days in a row so I could try different things on the menu. Highly recommended

Visited Puerto 99 DIFC branch to celebrate my birthday with my friends. We had an amazing business lunch experience with everyone who assisted us, Omer, Vera, the chefs, and everyone present earlier. All of them were really friendly and helpful. They made my day special with their sweet gesture of birthday greetings. The food options for business lunch were pretty good and filling and the bonus point was the hibiscus juice which is refreshing. I personally like the cauliflower dynamite. We will definitely be back.😊
