Okay, let’s be honest—when Dubai summer hits, dining outdoors feels a little less “ooh la la” and a lot more “why is my face melting?” So before the city turns into a real-life oven, you’ve got one final excuse to indulge in some seriously good French food alfresco. And not just any French food—we’re talking about the iconic Le Relais de L’Entrecôte, straight from the heart of Paris, now charming diners right here in Business Bay.
If you’ve ever dreamt of a romantic Parisian evening—minus the flight, the jet lag, and the awkward attempts at French—this is your moment.
One Dish. Endless Devotion.
Now, let’s talk about the main event. Le Relais de L’Entrecôte is legendary for serving just one thing—yes, one—but when it’s done this well, who needs a menu the size of a novel?
Picture this: tender sirloin steak, cooked to perfection (medium rare, if you’re asking me, but hey, live your truth), drenched in their iconic, top-secret, whisper-to-the-chef sauce that people would probably sell their AirPods to decode. And just when you think it can’t get better, in come the golden, crispy, dreamily thin-cut French fries—the kind you’ll keep picking at long after you’re full because, well, you’re not a quitter.
Oh, and let’s not forget the refreshingly crisp walnut salad that kicks off your meal with just the right balance of crunch and class. It’s like a green light to the indulgence that follows.
Dessert? Mais Oui.
If you’ve somehow got room left (and if you don’t, make room), the seasonal desserts are a sweet little encore worth clapping for. Whether you lean team chocolate or you’re all about fruity finesse, they’ve got something that’ll make you go, “just one bite,” and then mysteriously polish off the whole thing. Weird how that happens, right?
Pair it all with a glass (or let’s be real—bottle) of organic wine straight from the Château de Saurs, the family vineyard that knows a thing or two about making magic in a glass. Sip, savor, repeat.
Parisian Feels, Dubai Style
Set in the elegant and artsy ME Dubai in Business Bay, the outdoor space is a mood—think twinkling lights, intimate tables, and that perfect mix of luxury and chill. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to linger. Laugh. Order another round. Pretend you’re in Paris for a minute.
But here’s the catch—you’ve only got a little window before summer arrives with its sweaty vengeance and ruins the whole outdoor vibe. So don’t procrastinate. Call up your favorite dining partner, wear something breezy and cute, and head over while the weather’s still doing us a favor.
