Oregano

The seeds of Oregano go all the way back to the mid 1900’s when Siegfried, a German chef, left home in Cologne and traveled around Europe is in search of flavours.
When Siegfried reached Liguria in the North West coast of Italy, he discovered a cuisine that captured his palate and Mirella, who captured his heart and eventually became his wife. Maurizio was born soon after.  Their family run restaurant served food for the soul.
Maurizio grew up to seeing happy people all around. His parents enjoyed making and serving flavourful Ligurian dishes and   the restaurant was the talk of the town. For Maurizio this was normal everyday food! Only when he grew older and left home did he understand…what he took for “everyday food” was actually masterpieces in culinary art.
Maurizio did not turn out to be a Chef but he could explain flavours like no other.  It was a chance meeting with two brothers that the flavours Maurizio knew as a child would be replicated.
Tony had a Hotel Management Degree from Switzerland & Australia and George, a business man who had the ability to transform these gifts to a business model with passion.
The three of them connected well. Tony with his creative flair and passion towards cooking and was able to replicate
flavours from Liguria and all of them were convinced that this dining experience was to be rolled out to the world. They decided to open a small restaurant in Dubai serving Ligurian inspired cuisine.  The first Oregano restaurant ever!
With the passion becoming contagious, today Oregano boasts 8 restaurants in Dubai serving Ligurian inspired dishes prepared with flavour for all Oregano guests to experience and enjoy.
Oregano is now growing the brand internationally with the franchise model and privately owned outlets and one day will open an outlet in Liguria where the journey actually started.

Visit Oregano at the Festive Family Fair to grab your favourite slice!

Elevation Burger

Elevation Burger

Elevation Burger was originally conceived in 2002. Our founder, Hans Hess, couldn’t find the burger he’d been dreaming about since he left California in 1999. Hans wanted a burger that was healthier, that he would feel good about feeding his children and that tasted better than industrial-raised, grain-fed beef burgers. Seeing an opportunity, Hans focused his energy on creating a burger that truly stood apart from the rest in terms of taste and sustainability.
After three years of careful planning and countless hours of research and development, Hans and his wife April opened the first Elevation Burger in 2005. Driven by a passion for good food that’s organic, sustainable and fresh, Elevation Burger began franchising in 2008.
