Itameshi, arancini nigiri, and duck pasta
Itameshi shapes the menu, with Italian cooking filtered through Japanese fusion. Arancini Nigiri, Spicy Duck Sriracha Pizza, Cavatelli Duck Pasta, Pici Crab Pasta, and Tiramisu set a cross-cuisine brief for dinner.
Michelin Plate and Gault & Millau UAE selection
Michelin awarded Osteria Funkcoolio a Michelin Plate in 2025, and Gault & Millau named it a UAE Selected Restaurant in 2026. That gives the restaurant sustained guide recognition across consecutive years.
Port De La Mer waterfront and craft cocktails
La Cote 3 Port De La Mer places the restaurant on the waterfront in Jumeira First. Craft cocktails, smart casual dress, conversational noise, and leisurely pacing make it better suited to a settled dinner than a rushed meal.
