Transport into the very heart of Parisian “Art de Vivre” at this French f ine dining venue situated in Downtown Dubai. Fouquet’s Dubai’s striking interiors pay homage to its cinematic history and illustrious guests who graced its red carpet during the César Awards Dinner. As it was an early dinner, we enjoyed the quiet evening with a tour around the three-storey restaurant featuring a delightful Brasserie, Le Café serving freshly baked pastries, coffee, and breakfast favourites, and the rooftop Le Toit for an unforgettable nightlife experience accompanied by a wide selection of signature beverages.
We were escorted to the Brasserie, where a refined and contemporary ambience awaited us. The upscale dining space features red velvet armchairs and stylish wood-panelled walls, adorned with captivating black and white Harcourt portraits creating an elevated look.
The highlights
Combining French gastronomy with local influences, the menu at La Brasserie showcases a variety of carefully crafted dishes including appetizers, main courses, and desserts. From traditional French favourites such as Foie gras de canard (Classic duck foie gras), Escargots de Bourgogne au beurre d’ail, Fricassée de homard au gingembre (Lobster fricassee) and plenty more to cater to a wide range of palates.
To begin our meal, my dining partner and I ordered the highly recommended and aromatic Soupe à l’oignon (onion soup Champs-Élysées style) for a comforting warm starter and refreshing Salade Caesar façon Fouquet’s featuring baby gem lettuce, chicory, succulent corn-fed chicken breast, delicate parmesan flakes, and a traditional Caesar dressing. The decadent soup was our favourite for its flavourful broth topped with melted cheese and bread slices.
Our mains arrived soon after, the Suprême de volaille rôtie, crème de morilles showcasing a succulent roasted corn-fed chicken breast served with cream infused with morel mushrooms; and the Filet de bœuf marbré 8-9 with Champs-Elysées sauce cooked perfectly to provide tender and marbled beef fillet placed atop a bed of caramelized onions. We enjoyed our dishes with a side of rich Gratin dauphinois and Pommes ‘coin de rue’. What truly impressed us was the generous portion sizes of each dish served to the table.
After our hearty meal, we opted for the mouth-watering Profiteroles, showcasing choux pastry shells meticulously filled with creamy vanilla ice cream and finished with hot chocolate sauce poured over the profiteroles with a sprinkle of almond flakes, providing a crunchy and nutty undertone.
