La Cantine Du Faubourg
La Cantine du Faubourg promises a slice of Paris in the heart of Dubai. The original La Cantine, which opened in the French capital more than a decade ago on its fashion avenue, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, quickly gained notoriety as one of the City of Lights’ most coveted addresses for a hip lunch, after-work drinks, dining and entertainment. As you’d expect, the Dubai venue, located in Emirates Towers, has followed suit, and is considered one of ‘the’ places to business lunch, with dishes celebrating La Cantine du Faubourg’s heritage and more than a soupçon of international flavour.
Business lunch favourites include Charentais melon gazpacho to start, roasted grouper with eggplant confit and sweet and sour salsa for main and chocolate caramel mousse with raspberries and vanilla ice cream for dessert, but get in quick to sample these because the menu changes every two weeks.
Each dish is the work of renowned chef Gilles Bosquet, whose business lunch menu reimagines Parisian cuisine in an inimitable style. A starter and main are priced AED 110 ($29.30) and you can add a dessert for just AED 20 ($5.36) plus a glass of ‘grape of the week’ for AED 40 ($10.72). La Cantine du Faubourg is also a great venue for a corporate event, with packages available that can be customised to suit high-profile meetings, conferences, dinners and receptions and that include tailormade menus and special touches including lighting, entertainment and live music.
