FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Did we just travel back in time to the 1920s? It’s white, bright and airy with beautiful period décor.

VIBE
Elegant and sophisticated – but with a relaxed and laidback atmosphere.

WHAT TO ORDER
It’s a Belgian restaurant so the pots of mussels in a variety of sauces are a hit.

LOOK OUT FOR
The beautiful bar with its gleaming brass rails and marble top.

IDEAL FOR
A Saturday night treat, especially good for couples.

INSIDER INFO
The chips are cooked three times: blanched, then cooked in beef oil before a final dip in vegetable oil.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Tremendous cocktails, superb food and the prettiest dining room in Dubai.
