Salvaje Dubai pairs Japanese fusion with prime Burj Khalifa views
If you're after a dash of drama served alongside Burj Khalifa views, Salvaje Dubai is where you'll want to be.
Located inside Address Residences Dubai Opera, this tropical-meets-urban hideout, which means 'wild' in Spanish, offers high-end Japanese fusion cuisine and super fun nights.
With locations in Madrid, Miami, Paris, and beyond, this globally acclaimed spot is a great place to check out when in Dubai, whether you're on a date or a business meeting.
Allow us to paint you a picture.
The dim lighting has a golden glow that flatters just about everyone, while lush interiors and animal-print accents channel a sort of rainforest chic. It's the kind of place you could end up spending your entire night, starting with dinner and ending on the dancefloor.
Helmed by chef Fermín Azkue, Salvaje dishes out Japanese cuisine with a bold Latin American twist.
The menu is divided into Earth, Sea and Farm, but don't expect your standard sushi platter or plain rice bowl. Think truffle mushroom dumplings that are equal parts earthy and indulgent, sea bream ceviche with citrusy zing, and wagyu fried rice that's smoky, rich and just a little addictive.
Each dish is plated with the kind of finesse that makes you pause, take out your phone and grab snaps before anyone at the table can dig in.
The night energy is ineffable – you really have to be there to get it. As the lights dim and the volume rises, the DJ and performers take over, turning the space into a fully immersive experience.
The open bar area keeps the grape and mixed drinks flowing, and the vibe is equal parts stylish supper club and elevated house party.
It's a perfect spot for a low-key dinner date or to spend a great night out with your besties.
Whether you're here for food, to lean into the wild side of Downtown, or just to escape the city's buzz, a trip to Salvaje has to be on the cards. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

Diogo Jota's funeral to be held where he got married less than two weeks ago
Diogo Jota's funeral will be held on Friday in the same place he got married less than two weeks ago. Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, lost their lives in a car crash in northern Spain in the early hours of Thursday morning. As the brothers overtook another vehicle the Lamborghini they were in crashed due to a tyre blowout and caught fire. Both the 28-year-old Diogo and the 25-year-old Andre died at the scene. The Liverpool and Portugal married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso on June 22 in Sao Cosme, in his home city of Porto. His funeral will take place in Sao Cosme at 4pm on the day after he lost his life, just 12 days after he was married there. On Thursday afternoon, hearses were seen pulling up to a funeral home in Puebla de Sanabria, the town in north-western Spain where the bodies of Diogo and Andre were taken. The couple were married with their three children in attendance: sons Dinis, born in 2021, and Duarte, born 2023, and a daughter, born in 2024 whose name has not been released. Jota and Cardoso had been in a relationship since 2012, and are childhood sweethearts, having attended the same high school together in Porto. In his last post on social media prior to his death, Jota shared an emotional video from the pair's wedding day, captioning the post: 'A day we will never forget'. Jota and his brother were driving on their way back to England as they planned to travel by ferry due to doctors advising the Liverpool star not to fly after minor surgery. Rui Laura of CNN Portugal explained: 'The surgery he had had was lung surgery and he had been advised against flying following this. 'He was on his way to the northern Spanish port city of Santander to cross the ferry and reach the UK that way and carry on with the car once he reached Britain.' The tributes for Jota have been numerous, with Liverpool's Andy Robertson providing one as moving as any to his departed friend. The Scot wrote on Instagram: 'The ones I'm thinking about most right now are the family. Their loss is too much to bear. I'm so sorry that they have lost two such precious souls – Diogo and Andre. 'For the team and the Club, we'll try to cope with this together… however long that takes. 'For me, I want to talk about my mate. My buddy. The bloke I loved and will miss like crazy. 'I could talk about him as a player for hours, but none of that feels like it matters right now. 'It's the man. The person. He was such a good guy. The best. So genuine. Just normal and real. 'Full of love for the people he cared about. Full of fun. 'He was the most British foreign player I've ever met. We used to joke he was really Irish… I'd try to claim him as Scottish, obviously. I even called him Diogo MacJota. 'We'd watch the darts together, enjoy the horse racing. Going to Cheltenham this season was a highlight – one of the best we had. More Trending 'The last time I saw him was the happiest day of his life – his wedding day. I want to remember his never-ceasing smile from that magical day. How much he was bursting with love for his wife and family. 'I can't believe we're saying goodbye. It's too soon, and it hurts so much. 'But thank you for being in my life, mate – and for making it better. 'Love you, Diogo.❤️' MORE: Wimbledon allow players to break strict rule after tragic Diogo Jota death MORE: Who was Andre Silva?

Diogo Jota - boy who dreamed of the Prem and became an Anfield giant
The 28-year-old Liverpool ace, who got married only two weeks ago, died early this morning with his younger brother Andre in a car crash on a Spanish motorway Just a few weeks ago, as he reflected on his footballing journey, Diogo Jota described himself as best he could. 'A small guy that came from Gondomar,' he said, referring to the modest town in northern Portugal where he grew up, and 'where I had this dream'. The dream - from the day he first kicked a ball - was to play in the Premier League. To score spectacular goals in packed stadiums, to lift the biggest trophies, to be adored and idolised by fans. Aged 28, the footballer had achieved all of that, and much more. In fact in the last few months he had experienced some of the greatest highs of his life. He had won the Premier League with Liverpool, coming off the bench on the final day to set up the decisive goal for Mo Salah. On the victory parade bus, he filmed streets packed with jubilant fans shouting his name on his mobile phone. Last month he picked up more silverware, when he helped Portugal beat Spain in the Nation's Cup final, on what, tragically, proved to be his final match. And just two weeks ago, on June 22, he married his long-term partner and childhood sweetheart Rute Cardoso, the mother of his three children. On Instagram, Rute posted photos of their wedding, writing, 'My dream came true,' to which Jota replied, 'I'm the lucky one." There was much more to look forward to - a Premier League to defend, a World Cup next summer, watching his kids grow up, and undoubtedly many more dreams besides. Tragically, that all came to an abrupt end early yesterday morning, alongside his younger brother, at the side of a Spanish highway. His new wife already a widow, their three young children without a father - and the footballing world struggling to come to terms with the senseless loss of a massive talent. Born in Porto in 1996, Diogo Jose Teixera da Silva was the first child of factory workers Isabel and Joaquim. His love of the game started at an early age, inspired by his father and his uncle Ricardo, both semi-professional players for local teams. His parents struggled to pay the bills, but recognised their son's early passion for football, scraping together the £16-a month fee for him to train at local side Gondomar SC. But only on the condition that he got good grades at school, too, while they insisted he do other activities - just in case a professional playing career didn't work out. Jota remembered crying when his father would take him for swimming lessons instead of football training, such was his drive to get on the pitch. It was as a young aspiring footballer that he decided to set himself apart from the many other Portuguese players named Silva, so asked for Diogo J to be printed on the back of his shirts. Team mates started calling for the ball from 'Diogo Jota' - Jota meaning the letter J in Portuguese - and the name stuck. But when, aged 16, his parents were still paying for him to play, he wondered if he would ever fulfil his dream. Jota recalled: 'These days kids who are 14 and 15 already have professional contracts, but that wasn't the case with me. 'I was still paying to play football when I was 16-years-old. Until then, I was just playing for fun really. I was lucky enough to have a team where we were all like a family.' While still at school he met Rute, who had moved to Gondomar from another town and arrived, aged 15, in Jota's class. The teenagers soon fell in love. Rute remembered: 'He was both intelligent and disinterested. He managed to get good grades, but without studying much. He was one of those who'd only start revising two days before the exams.' Jota finally got his professional break, aged 18, when he was signed to Paços de Ferreira, another local Gondomar club, scoring 14 goals in 41 matches. His performance caught the attention of Atlético Madrid, who signed him in 2016. Girlfriend Rute, now 19, moved with him - the first time the couple started living together. Speaking at the time, she said: 'As well as being his girlfriend and his best friend, I'm also his number one fan. I want to be with him.' However, he did not play a single game and moved back to northern Portugal on loan to play for Porto, before moving on loan for a second time in 2017 to League 1 side Wolves. But despite his disappointment at failing to impress in Madrid, in England Jota began to shine, scoring 18 goals in 46 matches for Wolves and helping the club achieve promotion to the Premier League. His efforts earned him a permanent contract, and the chance to fulfil his childhood dream of playing in the English top flight. Once again he hit double figures for goals, helping Wolves qualify for the Europa League and earning him a £41million move to champions Liverpool in September 2020. Reds fans were first unsure about the expensive signing, even though manager Jurgen Klopp said Jota had been on his wishlist for several years. But those doubts vanished in his very first game with a goal eight minutes into his debut against Arsenal. He went on to become the first Liverpool player since Robbie Fowler to score seven times in his first 10 appearances for the club - a sensational start that featured goals in four consecutive appearances at Anfield. He enjoyed his best goalscoring return at Liverpool with 21 goals in 55 games in 2021-22, part of an impressive overall haul of 65 in 182 appearances. By 2022 he was already a club legend, loved for his quick feet and agility, explosive pace and uncanny ability to ghost past defenders into the box. Jamie Carragher called him Liverpool's best finisher in the Premier League era, Anfield often echoed to the sound of the fans' song for Jota, in which they claimed he was better than his compatriot Luis Figo. 'Exceptional player, exceptional boy… a perfect signing,' gushed Klopp, who rewarded him with a new contract until 2027. Jota's prowess on the field was matched by his online footballing skill, and in 2021 he achieved a world number one ranking in FIFA - making him one of, if not the only football player to compete at the top level in Europe in both the real world and virtually. A viral moment came in November 2021 when Jota took part in a qualifying match for an international FIFA tournament, but abruptly left to make sure he wasn't late for a real life game against Southampton. He scored twice for Liverpool in that game, celebrating one of the goals by sitting cross-legged and pretending to hold a controller. Jota was new boss Arne Slot 's first choice centre forward for much of the last year and, despite an injury, continued to prove his worth - his last goal for Liverpool was a spectacular winner in the Merseyside derby in front of the Kop. And at the end of the season the player's lifelong dream of being a Premier League winner finally came true. His last interview, to Liverpool FC's website, was full of pride and excitement for the future. 'It's massive. It's something I could not even dream of when I was a kid. I wanted to play in the Premier League but I didn't even imagine I'd win it, I just wanted to be there playing. I knew it was the best league in the world. I did it in the end. It's a moment I will cherish forever.' Lost senselessly and far too soon, Jota will now be immortalised in the club where his dreams came true.

'My second film took a decade to make and is 'not your average period drama''
Director John Maclean is back in cinemas this summer with his second film, a decade after his award-winning and critically acclaimed debut, Slow West. The revisionist Western starring Michael Fassbender and Kodi Smit-McPhee saw him named by Bafta as 'a Brit to Watch' and claim a jury prize at Sundance. It was dubbed one of the films of the year and still has a 92% score from critics on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. And now Maclean's finally returned with his second film – 'notoriously difficult' in Britain, he says – a Scottish samurai Western, naturally. Starring Jack Lowden, Tim Roth, Japanese model and songwriter Kōki and Shogun's Takehiro Hira, Tornado sees a Japanese puppeteer's daughter get caught up with criminals when their show crosses paths with a crime gang in 18th-century rural Scotland. A refreshingly unusual combination of things, Maclean reveals that Tornado 'led on' from Slow West as an idea, examining the concept of nationality again. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'In America in 1860, people were from all over the world, they weren't American yet. Then I thought the same about Britain – that it could be a multicultural place, and there could be a Japanese samurai, a French weightlifter, an Irish bandit,' the Scottish filmmaker tells me at the Sands International Film Festival in April, where Tornado is previewing as the closing film. 'I added to that my love of Japanese cinema and thinking, 'Oh I'd love to do a samurai film, but I'm not Japanese – so what's my way in?' The way in was a father-daughter relationship, family and setting it in a Britain of people from all over the place.' Maclean, who is also a founding member of indie-rock group The Beta Band, tells me that Tornado was based on an old music video he filmed with the group 25 years ago too, in the exact same location. People don't normally make a Western as their first feature film, like he did, but Maclean actually saw Tornado as his opportunity to 'play a lot more' with the Western tropes. He was also keen to shake up how British history is traditionally thought of at this time. 'It's always been viewed through novels or class systems or kings and queens, and I just thought there was a place for historic Britain full of more of your outsiders: circus performers and poets and musicians and bandits.' For him, there was also a parallel between Tornado and Slow West with great changes on the horizon. 'Setting it in 1790 I felt was a kind of equivalent to the 1860 West, when things were about to change drastically – the law and the Peelers were coming, and the industrial revolution was coming, and swords were becoming guns,' Maclean points out. Taking a decade between the releases of Slow West and Tornado was not intentional; Maclean's screenplay was written by 2018 and he jokes he was 'going as fast as I possibly could'. But it turns out even if you've made a splash with your first film – and he'd won a Bafta for his 2011 short Pitch Black Heist starring Fassbender and Liam Cunningham prior as well – you are far from set up for smooth sailing the second time around. 'It was just hard to get funding. I thought it would be easier because Slow West was a decent first attempt. In Britain, second films are notoriously difficult to get off the ground,' he admits. As to why, he ponders if maybe the script 'came across as not the trendiest of subjects' but also reckons it was to do with the film's titular hero being a young girl and 'so she has to be a kind of new face'. It was just hard to get funding. I thought it would be easier because Slow West was a decent first attempt 'You do need the big names attached to get any money at all these days.' He did get them – 'eventually' – in Roth and Lowden portraying father and son, and Roth signing up to play the villainous Sugarman 'unlocked a lot of doors and people started taking it seriously and coming on board'. As far Lowden, who is especially hot property now given his involvement with hit TV series Slow Horses and casting as Mr Darcy in Netflix's upcoming Pride and Prejudice adaptation, Maclean was prepared to work for it – and around a few people. 'I actually met Jack at Edinburgh Film Festival drinks and found out that he loved Slow West. So I went back and rewrote the part with him in mind because – just anything to get beyond these people's agents! And to know that maybe they want to work with you is huge.' However, Maclean is far from self-pitying about how hard it was to get Tornado made despite his previous success – although Slow West did not make its budget (a reported $2million (£1.46m)) back at the box office. But it was a word-of-mouth phenomenon that grew a cult audience and charmed critics, juries and fans alike. 'I'm reading a book about the making of The Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde and films of the '60s, and it was just as big a struggle. I mean, you're asking for a lot of money for people,' he observes (the budget was around £3m for Tornado). 'I think anything that you want to do that's sort of – not necessarily against the grain – but just something different …' he begins, before adding: 'I think Tornado is not your average British period drama.' He's dead right in that respect – and what might make financiers wary is exactly its USP. Thanks to a wider shift in the genre away from rigid historical accuracy in favour of more creative interpretations, diverse casting and contemporary points of view – as seen in the likes of Bridgerton, Netflix's 2022 adaptation of Persuasion with Dakota Johnson and The Personal History of David Copperfield – it makes Tornado seem bang on the money. Maclean's 'hopeful' that people want to reinterpret how a period drama looks in Britain. I wonder what he would like to do for his next film. More Trending 'I love the crime genre and the noir genre – but I've got a lot of contemporary music I love, so it'd be nice to make something contemporary. I'm sort of blank page at the moment, so just starting to feel around again,' he shares. When I apologise for pressing him on the next film already, he laughs. 'A lot of directors will have the thing lined up ready to go. I'm just not that guy, so it takes me slightly longer.' Tornado is in UK cinemas now. Got a story?
