La Petite Maison - Dubai

Step into LPM DIFC, past the olive trees and lavender into a sun-dappled, bougainvillea-lined terrace… and let Gate Village and the Dubai International Financial Center fall away behind you. Signature cocktails at the bar, which takes up nearly all of one wall, quite a destination in its own right. French Riviera-inspired cuisine prepared à-la-minute. The poulet, les escargots, un autre Tomatini? This place of crackling energy, this celebration of people, this Côte d'Azur, this La Belle Époque, c’est magnifique.
