While the venue itself is elegant, the cuisine is the star of the show. French Mediterranean recipes blend Genoese heritage with influences from Nice and Liguria to create a vast menu that's unrivalled in Dubai. Fresh pasta, seafood and meat feature highly across the menu alongside locally produced courgettes, artichokes, lemons, tomatoes and peppers. Olive oil made from olives grown on the hills of Alpes Maritimes is another key ingredient across the board.
During the day the restaurant is filled with bankers, lawyers and businessmen impressing clients with a lunchtime feast to remember, while in the evening groups of friends gather to catch up over French delicacies and cocktails. Make sure to book in advance, especially at the weekend, as the restaurant is popular. Also, a couple of the dishes including Poulet au Foie Gras need to be ordered in advance so check the menu to avoid disappointment on the day.
