Review: Carna’s new Truffle menu

Set high on the 74th floor of SLS Dubai, Carna welcomes guests with a stylish, refined atmosphere that feels both modern and timeless. The space has a glamorous, Gilded Age vibe, thanks to plush crimson seating, art deco-inspired touches, and warm wood accents that add a touch of luxury.

Mirrors and grand ceilings open up the space, while soft lighting creates a relaxed, intimate feel. For a more private experience, there’s a cosy, tucked-away dining room, making Carna the perfect spot for both a lively dinner and a quieter, more exclusive occasion.

The highlights

Once seated with a breathtaking view of the Dubai skyline, we couldn’t resist trying out the new truffle menu— where you can expect luxury from start to finish. From the first bite of the Truffle Butter paired with homemade sourdough bread, it was clear we were in for something special. The bread, with its golden crust and soft, fragrant centre, carried the rich, earthy essence of truffle butter—a simple yet delicious start to the meal.

The Wild mushroom & truffle croquette followed, offering a wonderful play on textures. Its crisp, golden shell gave way to a creamy, umami-packed filling, while the black garlic aioli provided just the right touch of tanginess to balance the dish. Then came the Steak tartare & truffle, an instant favourite. Tender, finely seasoned beef was perfectly layered on crispy, deep-fried potato, complemented by silky truffle bone marrow mayo and finished with delicate shavings of fresh truffle.

The Roast chicken cannelloni & truffle redefined comfort food, with tender cannelloni encased in a velvety truffled béchamel and chicken jus, topped with slivers of fresh truffle. The Wild Mushroom & White Truffle Risotto showcased creamy rice infused with nutty brown butter and earthy mushrooms, topped with crisp parmesan and generous shavings of white truffle.

For mains, the Roasted duck breast rossini kept the bar high, featuring succulent duck, buttery foie gras, and smooth, truffled mash. To round off the meal, the Cow’s milk dessert was a playful yet elegant finale. The milk ice cream, paired with the caramel notes of dulce de leche and the delicate aroma of white truffle, brought a creative and satisfying end to the evening.
