Let’s be real—Eid weekends are meant for three things: great company, amazing food, and a whole lot of “treat yourself” energy. And if you’re looking to hit that holy trifecta, then you need to make your way to carine, the effortlessly chic French-Mediterranean spot at Emirates Golf Club. Chef Izu’s culinary playground is pulling out all the stops this Eid, and honestly, you deserve to be part of the delicious drama.
Here’s what’s cooking (literally and figuratively):
Breakfast, But Make It Fancy
You know that magical state between “I just woke up” and “I’m ready to face the world”? carine has the perfect setting for that. Usually reserved for weekends, their breakfast is stretching its arms and embracing the entire Eid break. Think golden morning light, golf course views, and blueberry cuffin coffee (yes, that’s a real thing and no, you’re not dreaming).
Start strong with Truffle Scrambled Eggs, get a little artsy with the Hazelnut & Avocado Tartine, or go full sweet tooth with the Fluffy French Toast + Homemade Jam situation. Pro tip: take your time. You’ve got till 12:30 PM.
When: 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM
Where: The land of truffle dreams (aka carine)
New Menu, Who Dis?
So, what happens when one of the best French restaurants in the UAE decides to shake things up? You get a next-level lineup of new dishes that make your taste buds do a happy dance.
First up, Rigatoni à la Sauce Blanche et Truffe ou Caviar. Translation: pasta, but make it posh. Creamy white sauce + your choice of truffle or caviar? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
Seafood fans, meet your soulmate: Bar Grillé aux Herbes de Provence. It’s a marinated sea bass with French countryside vibes, served with a crispy fennel salad that’s basically a spa day for your palate.
And if you’re the kind of person who reads “Risotto au Safran, Jarret de Veau et Sauce Bordelaise” and feels your stomach clap in applause—well, welcome to flavour heaven.
Price: From AED 185
Available: Lunch and dinner, daily
Views That Deserve Their Own Instagram Account
Let’s take a moment for the setting. Emirates Golf Club’s rolling greens, skyline glimmers of Dubai Marina, and that golden hour glow that makes everything (and everyone) look better. Whether you’re brunching with the fam or wooing your date with fancy French pronunciations, carine’s ambience is all kinds of swoon-worthy.
Classics That Never Go Out of Style
We’re all for trying new things, but carine’s classics? They’re timeless. Start with the Burrata et Tomates Cerises—a fresh, zesty number featuring cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, pesto, and burrata so creamy it should be illegal.
Then dive into the Côtes de Veau Mijotées, a slow-cooked veal rib that practically melts when you look at it. And of course, round it all off with Tiramisu. Because if dessert isn’t involved, did you even Eid?
Price: Mains from AED 123
When: Daily from lunch to dinner
Final Thoughts
This Eid, go where the food is fancy, the vibe is warm, and the views are straight out of a romance movie. Whether you’re starting your day with blueberry cuffin coffee or ending it with veal and tiramisu, carine is the Eid treat you didn’t know you needed—but absolutely deserve.
So book that table, put on your stretchy pants (we don’t judge), and get ready to eat, sip, and vibe your way through a très délicieux Eid weekend.
