Restaurants might promote ingredients and items off the shelve but not at Rotana. At Rotana, our restaurants only promote ingredients that our foodie Chefs agree to be interesting, special and of course, delicious. This is because our Chefs do not simply want to feed, they also want to fascinate.

Hence, in light of November's Venison Promotion at one of JBR's and Dubai's (as featured in TimeOut - Ultimate Guide to Nightlife) best grape bars - Rosso, here are some fun facts that tickled our executive head chef Rainer Mueller to feature Venison as this month's culinary delight.

1. Venison was originally used to describe all game meats however now it applies exclusively to only deer, except in South Africa where it applies to antelope. 

2. When compared to a 100g of beef, Venison possesses 1/3 the amount of calories as compared to beef. It also possesses approximately 1/30 the amount of fat present in beef.

3. The trick to removing the gamey smell from Venison is to marinate the meat in yoghurt for 20-30 minutes

4. Our Venison supplier, Mandagery Creek in Australia (1 of only 6 places where deers run free), produces this flavourful meat entirely without the use of antibiotics, stimulants and hormones. 

Now you know the facts which enticed our foodie Chef Rainer to choose Venison, how about you?
