The foodie scene in the recently reopened Address Downtown just got even more exciting thanks to the arrival of a brand new restaurant called The Galliard.

An export from Istanbul, the restaurant serves up contemporary Turkish fusion cuisine with influences from France, Spain, and Italy, served across a more casual lounge space, formal dining area and al fresco terrace.

On the menu, you’ll find a heavily Turkish influenced array of dishes, from the Cig Borek (Turkish patty with minced beef, tomatoes and mango salsa), to an octopus ‘Gavurdagi’ (grilled octopus), as well as some more familiar Mediterranean dishes such as tagliatelle in a parmesan wheel and truffle and burrata pizzas.

Other highlights include some of the famed Turkish fusion restaurant’s signature dishes. Cig Köfte – a Turkish patty with minced beef, tomatoes and mango salsa, endive lettuce, preserved with walnut slices is a must try, as is the Roasted Bone Marrow with caramelized onions, marmalade with pears and crostini.

But it’s not just about the food. Guests can expect a staggering menu of more than 75 cocktails, as well as over 500 unique wines stored in the wine cellar.

We reckon that’s something to suit every taste…

The expansive space is home indoor seating of cushy booths and more intimate tables for two, as well as a stunning al fresco terrace. Right under the shadow of the Burj Kalifa, it’s also home to an extensive shisha menu to enjoy alongside or after dinner.

A foodie haven serving endless cocktails and stunning Burj views? We’ll see you there…
