At a glance
Toro Toro by Chef Richard Sandoval brings Pan-Latin dining to Grosvenor House Dubai on Al Emreef Street in Dubai Marina. The restaurant draws on culinary traditions from Central and South America, bringing together familiar regional influences with contemporary presentation and a social approach to dining.
The menu is designed around sharing as well as more substantial plates, allowing the table to explore a broad mix of Latin American flavours, spices and cooking methods. The restaurant also places a clear focus on churrasco and grill cooking, with prime cuts prepared in a Brazilian-style tradition. Grilled meats form a central part of the experience, supported by salads and other accompaniments that add freshness and contrast.
The interior has a lush, moody character, creating a setting suited to relaxed dinners, social gatherings and occasions that call for a more animated atmosphere. The overall style combines polished restaurant dining with the warmth and energy associated with Latin American food culture. The setting works for diners seeking a meal built around shared plates, as well as for groups looking to spend time over a longer dinner.
The bar adds another dimension to the restaurant, with cocktails shaped by Latin American spirits and flavours. Mezcal, pisco, tequila and rum feature among the spirits used in the drinks programme, which includes creative serves alongside established favourites. The bar suits diners who want to pair the food with a cocktail-led evening rather than limit the meal to wine or soft drinks.
A Saturday brunch adds a social daytime option, combining food and drinks in a lively format. Toro Toro also accommodates private dining, celebrations, corporate occasions and larger events through adaptable spaces, including private rooms and an outdoor terrace. Bespoke menus can be arranged for event bookings, giving groups scope to shape the dining experience around the occasion.
Located in Dubai Marina, the restaurant is a practical choice for diners staying around the waterfront district or travelling from Abu Dhabi for a meal in Dubai. Reservations are recommended for dinner, Saturday brunch and special events, particularly when group dining or a private space is involved.
