The Plate Snob take
The skyline is shameless, but the kitchen has enough precision to stop dinner becoming a viewing-platform exercise. Take a window table, then order past the obvious sushi.

The full picture
The room
Bar des Prés sits 51 floors above DIFC with a polished, low-lit dining room and the sort of city view that does not need a filter. It works for a client lunch, but feels sharper after dark.
How to order
The menu moves between French richness and Japanese restraint. Start with a crudo or the crab-and-avocado galette, add a warm shellfish dish, then share one larger plate rather than turning the table into a tasting spreadsheet.
