Where?

CIRQUE DUBAI, THE RITZ-CARLTON, DIFC

Dining experience: Dinner

What’s it like? A timeless classic originating from New York, Le Cirque Dubai oozes class and elegance. Inside, the décor is sophisticated, with contemporary paintings on the walls, crisp white table clothes and neutral grey tones throughout, paired with artistic lamp shades. The outlet is made up of a dining area, bar, conservatory and winter garden that overlooks the DIFC terrace area, and is open for business lunch and dinner, however, is also a great spot for stopping by for evening drinks. Aside from its beautiful interiors, what strikes me first is the level service and expertise shown from serving staff and the sommelier. Paired with soothing sounds from a live pianist, the stage is set for a classy, intimate meal.
