Pioneer of contemporary Central American cuisine in the Gulf
“Cooking is memory — every plate carries where I come from.”
Meet Gabriela
Born and raised in Central America, Chef Gabriela Chamorro brings the bold, soulful flavours of her homeland to Dubai at Girl & the Goose. Her cooking is rooted in heritage — heirloom corn, smoky chillies, slow-cooked stews and the recipes of the women who raised her — reimagined with the precision and warmth of a chef who refuses to dilute her identity. Every dish is a love letter to the markets, kitchens and stories of Centroamérica.
