The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives has reimagined its dining concept with a vibrant new menu at Joos Café, offering guests an exciting blend of innovative flavors and nutritious options that capture the essence of island-inspired cuisine.
The café’s latest culinary lineup introduces a range of distinctive dishes that blend creativity with wholesome ingredients. The Turkey Club House stands out as a reimagined classic, featuring slow-roasted turkey, crispy turkey bacon, ripe tomato, and Swiss cheese, complemented by a signature maple mayo. Guests can enjoy this delectable sandwich wrapped in artisan schiacciata flatbread or a soft tortilla, elevating the traditional club sandwich experience.
For health-conscious diners, the Kale & Quinoa Bowl offers a nutritional powerhouse that doesn’t compromise on flavor. This plant-based creation is entirely gluten-free and vegan, combining massaged kale, fluffy quinoa, creamy avocado, crunchy edamame, and seasonal berries, all brought together with a zesty citrus dressing.
The café’s culinary innovation reaches new heights with the Butcher’s Burger, a bold entry in the Hard Rock Cafe’s Annual World Burger Competition in Malé. This signature burger showcases a flame-grilled Angus patty lacquered in rich teriyaki sauce, topped with crispy onion rings, homemade bilimbi hot sauce, a fried egg, beef bacon, and tangy pickles. The result is a complex flavor profile that balances smoky, spicy, sweet, crispy, and creamy elements.
