Rafael Nadal and Cristiano Ronaldo are ready to take their joint culinary venture to a new destination, namely to Dubai.
Spanish tennis player Mabel Hospitality, a subsidiary of Mabel Capital, previously partnered with football legend Ronaldo and basketball star Pau Gasol to launch restaurants, Toto and Tatel. The Spanish tennis restaurant will now expand its wings to the Middle East, to be precise Dubai in 2023 and collaborate with Leisure Quest.
Launched in Madrid in 2014, Tatel has been introduced to foodies in Ibiza, Beverly Hills and more recently in Doha. The Spanish Mediterranean themed restaurant also engages customers with daily live entertainment.

Meanwhile, Toto, which recently opened in Madrid, is inspired by the protagonist of the classic Italian film Cinema Paradiso. Cuisine revolving around Italian and Mediterranean recipes will be complemented by live seasons and piano melodies.
Meanwhile, the tennis player, who recently toured Latin America to play exhibition events with Norwegian tennis player Casper Ruud, has been candid about his life and career in a recent interview.
In the 2022 season, the Spanish tennis player won two Grand Slam titles, namely the Australian Open (beating Daniil Medvedev) and the French Open (beating Ruud), as well as two other titles he won in Melbourne and Acapulco. He is aware of the important experience he has had this season, including overcoming a number of injuries, saying goodbye to his arch-rival, Roger Federer, and welcoming his first son with his wife, Maria Francisca Perello.
“This season has been an exciting season with a lot of things happening to me throughout the season. Some experiences are very pleasant, some experiences are more complicated,” said Rafael Nadal.
The 36-year-old tennis player also expressed that being a good person in life is more important to him than being the best tennis player.
“To be honest, I don’t know if I’m the best in history or not, but I don’t even consider it,” Nadal admitted. “I think it is something background related. The sporting heritage is what it is, and we will see what it will be like when I finish my career. For me, the important legacy is that the people who lived with me during my 20 seasons will have good memories of me.”
“In the end, it’s personal, education, respect, compassion that you show people beyond professional, because at the end of the day, that’s what’s left over with time.”
