If you like your food with a little swagger – smoky, confident, and refusing to shout – Fumée Steakhouse just made your week (and your Tuesdays). The folks at Fumée have taken the art of flame and flavor and boiled it down to two very sensible, very delicious experiences: a lunch that won’t waste your afternoon energy, and a steak-and-grape evening that’s basically a tasteful celebration in slow motion. Spoiler: both are excellent excuses to leave your desk or your couch.
A lunch that actually makes midday interesting
Think of this as the grown-up weekday upgrade your calendar secretly wanted.
Fumée’s Lunch at Fairmont Dubai is a tidy three-course set designed for people who appreciate freshness and finesse without the fuss. Start with bright salads – a Classic Greek if you’re feeling nostalgic, Turkish Arugula if you want a peppery kick, or the Velvet Goat and Pistachio for when you mean business. Mains range from the garlicky-smooth Chicken Shish and the charred, spicy Adana Kebab, to a lemon-buttered Grilled Salmon that practically whispers “balmy afternoon.” Want to make it a proper treat? For AED 75 extra you can upgrade to an Angus Ribeye, because sometimes lunch deserves to be legendary. Finish with chocolate profiteroles (because, yes) or a refreshingly honest plate of fresh watermelon. Tea, coffee, or sparkling water rounds things off like a bow on a very tasteful gift.
When: Monday-Friday, 12pm-4pm
Where: FUMÉE Steakhouse, Fairmont Dubai,
Price: from AED 119.
Steak & Grape – the Tuesday ritual
An evening built on a very sensible premise: good steak, good grape, good company.
Steak & Grape is the kind of menu that arrives like a well-timed plot twist. The night opens with Truffle Beef Tartar paired with a glass of red grape – an elegant handshake that sets the tone. For mains, choose between the 200g Angus Filet Mignon or a hearty 300g Angus Striploin, each served with golden fries and grilled to whatever level of doneness you secretly prefer. It’s simple, confident, and quietly luxurious – everything Fumée stands for.
When: Every Tuesday, 6pm–11pm
Where: Fairmont Dubai & Marina (District 8)
Price: AED 235.
Why Fumée feels right for the moment
Fumée balances rustic warmth with modern polish – think flame-kissed steaks, Mediterranean-Levantine nods, and a beverage list that knows its grapes. Interiors are cozy without trying too hard, so whether you’re in for a weekday treat or a deliberately slow Tuesday night, the restaurant sends the right vibes: relaxed, refined, and unfussy.
The bottom line
If you want weekday food with purpose, try the Lunch at Fairmont. If you want an evening that pairs precision with pleasure, make Tuesday your new plan. Either way, Fumée’s new offerings are proof that sometimes simplicity, when done with craft, feels like a small miracle.
