Tucked away in the heart of Jumierah in the charming setting of La Maison d’Hotes, Dubai’s first real French boutique-style hotel, the unlicensed restaurant of the same name, boasts a pretty and authentic menu of rustic French cuisine. Set amidst chic and cosy dark woods, neutral tones, natural linens and silks, the decor provides an unobtrusive yet intimate backdrop to a very individual establishment. Boasting a French head chef who only uses fresh produce to concoct the typically Gallic signature dishes, Le Maison d’Hotes’ key cuisines are changed according to the market availability of only the freshest ingredients. They include delights such as pan-fried scallops, truffle leek fondue and broccoli puree, which might typically be followed by home-made nougat glace strawberry coulis and biscuit. Reasonably priced and happily unique in the UAE’s restaurant scene, this is a venue where romantic, relaxed meals on the terrace at sunset, are a must.
