THE QUICK ANSWER

For French restaurants in the UAE, start with Bistro des Arts for classic French bistro cooking with current prices, Bar des Prés for 51st-floor skyline views, LPM Restaurant & Bar for riviera-style menu and LPM Restaurant & Bar Abu Dhabi for refined French-Mediterranean cooking. Every restaurant shown here has enough editorial research to earn its place; the wider directory is kept separate.

From butter-forward bistros to white-tablecloth tasting menus, these are the French tables that justify the extra bread.

Before you book.

How does Plate Snob choose restaurants?

We edit for food, character, value, setting and genuine usefulness, not for the size of a marketing budget.

Are prices and opening hours guaranteed?

No. We check official information, show when profiles were last reviewed and recommend confirming time-sensitive details with the venue.
