Opening for its first summer season at Capri Palace Jumeirah on Capri island in Italy, Zuma Capri restaurant is all set to feature the classic Japanese Izakaya cuisine.

Capri Palace Jumeirah has opened its latest attraction, the contemporary Japanese Izakaya cuisine at Zuma Capri on the Italian island of Capri. According to a press statement by Capri Palace Jumeirah, Izakaya  restaurants are casual drinking establishments, similar to tapas bars, where customers order a variety of small dishes of food that can be shared at the table. The menu at an Izakaya is made up of a wide variety of Japanese and sometimes international dishes, it adds.

Located at Anacapri, the most exclusive part of the Blue Island, as Capri is also called, Capri Palace Jumeirah says that not only its guests but also other visitors to Capri can enjoy Zuma’s contemporary Izakaya menu and cocktails to good music and vistas of the Sorrentine Peninsula and Tyrrhenian Sea.

“We are delighted to welcome guests to Zuma Capri this summer and deliver another exceptional culinary experience in this coveted corner of the island. Capri Palace Jumeirah captures the true spirit of the Italian Dolce Vita, and with the addition of Zuma Capri to our exquisite culinary offering, there’s further appeal to discover the unspoiled charm of Anacapri this season,” says Ermanno Zanini, Regional Vice President for Southern Europe and the United Kingdom for Jumeirah Group.

The statement adds that the rooftop restaurant with views of the blue waters, brings its signature menu featuring highlights such as the marinated black cod wrapped in hoba leaf and roasted lobster with shiso ponzu butter. In addition to the classics, there will be dishes exclusive to Zuma Capri inspired by the famed fragrant Capri lemons, including sliced lobster with Capri lemon and oscietra caviar, Capri Lemon Mochi for dessert, and refreshing Kakigori lemon beverages.

‘’We are so excited to announce the opening of our third Italian restaurant. Capri Palace Jumeirah is the perfect match for this new venture, and we look forward to a busy summer season,’’ says Rainer Becker, Co-Founder and Creator of Zuma.
