Plate Snob says
Why it earns a place
The kind of neighbourhood bistro Dubai needs more of: unfussy, generous and best enjoyed slowly by the water.

The full picture
The room
Part Parisian neighbourhood bistro, part Marina terrace: it is relaxed enough for breakfast and polished enough to turn lunch into an afternoon.
How to play it
Book the promenade terrace in cooler weather, start with something from the raw bar and leave room for a properly French dessert.
