Such a classy place with pleasant elegant vibes. Very welcoming stuff. Highly recommend to try risotto ,medovik. All food is delicious. Well done. Will definitely come back
Cozy place with nice atmosphere and attentive staff. We could enjoy our dinner at the outdoor area since the weather was amazing. Everyone was polite and made sure we were comfortable. Our favourite appetiser was the tuna tartar.
A secluded restaurant facing the Burj Al Arab in the stunning Jumeirah Al Qasr hotel.
Set on their private beach, French Riviera restaurant invites you to a Mediterranean dining experience by their beautiful pool or private beach.
The staff is kind and courteous, they accommodated 8 of us at a lovely round table.
The atmosphere is quiet and romantic for a nice dinner.
We loved the Ratatouille and onion tarts.
The best dessert is the chocolate mousse and the tarte tatin.
I definitely recommend this restaurant for a family dinner or a lovely date.

One of my favorite places for a relaxed late afternoon lunch. The location and the beach feeling is unparalleled makes you feel you’re literally at the Côte d’Azur. Good was great, we had different rounds of Oysters along with the Fois Gras, Burrata salad, Truffle Pizza to go with Prosecco.
Highly recommend this place to disconnect on the beach whilst enjoying a live DJ and percussionist performance.
Will definitely be back.

We tried the 80s thursday night party and it was fun. We sat upstairs which is the loudest part of the place.
But the service wasn’t good, we have to remind the server to fill our glass as they got our bottle which is terrible, they were always busy and weren’t attentive, it took like 30mins before you get noticed. Maybe we got unlucky that time, I’m a bit disappointed. I got the smoked salmon crepes it’s 4.5/10 not really a fan of it. I should have explored on their menu more. But this is a nice place to party!

Nice cafe and good coffee. The Acai bowl was way too sour to my liking, but some of their other stuff looked delicious.
Had a friend visiting from India. She loves food and herself is a fab cook. Wanted to take her to a nice place that serves good food. The Courtyard is such a beautiful gem in Dubai. It feels like a quaint street in Portugal or Spain or something. The food at Cassette was fabulous. Slightly steep honestly. But we had a great time.
Enjoyed my weekend breakfast here. Beautiful place, lovely vibe with upbeat ambient music.
Staff is attentive. The Egg Benedict is nice but the muffin is a tad too dense and hard for me. Really liked the Creamy Spinach croissant. Food portion is kinda small.

This beautiful restaurant serves a very delicious food, we always order lentil salad, pasta , pizza and last time we tried the cheesecake which was ok. Food menu is always fresh and good. Prices are good with no offered corporate discounts. Service is very welcoming and helpful. In crowd seasons you may need to stand in queue to get table.
Lobster pasta (255) was a little sweet for my taste but it’s okay overall. The clams pasta (145) was really delicious and light. We also ordered the pizza divola (95) the toppings kept falling of the pizza which made it very hard to eat, taste was meh. Dessert was yummy and so big (great options for groups!). However the service was so SLOW, they even forgot to bring the cappuccinos we ordered till we told them. Probably wouldn’t go again due to this.
This place is seriously one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been to! The vibes are incredible, the staff is super friendly, and don't even get me started on the view. You can catch an epic water show right from their balcony! It's a total must-visit spot!
Amazing spot with a nice view. The food was amazing. We enjoyed the breakfast and the “Pain perdu” and the scrambled eggs with fresh truffles are is just mind blowing!
Beautiful place and view. The food was very good and very tasty. But this is definitely not a French restaurant. Most of the menu is Italian, of course there is some French plats but not that much compare to the rest. Also even if the service was nice it was not up to the quality it should be compared to the price you are paying. So I would say overall good food but maybe a little expensive.
Tried their Brunch…
Assorted pastry basket is amazing, freshly made in house 🏆
Good pumpkin soup, though it’s not roasted pumpkin but still we like it 👍
Quinoa salad is great, needs more depth in the flavor but otherwise good 😁
Caesar salad- nothing special
Tuna tartare has a good quality tuna fish but the sauce overpowered the dish which makes it a little bit off, too sweet 🤦♀️
Other starters, forgettable 😅
Main course:
Seabass fillet- cooked perfectly but the presentation of the dish looks very sad, no effort at all 🤷♀️
Kobideh - delicious flavor but not my favorite (boring as well and didn’t finish the dish)🥱
The dessert is good but nothing special 😪
✅Great view of the water, fountain and Atlantis.
✅The price of their brunch is cheap with the amount of food they serve.
✅Staff were also nice.
But, it’s only 3 ⭐️ for me. ✌️
