LA CANTINE DU FAUBOURG

They have nice food

Great location and great food, the in-restaurant staff is very friendly and professional! But as usual, it takes one person to spoil the whole customer experience, after being regular customer for several years now, the reservation team managed to make it a nightmare to simply continue enjoying going to this place!!!
I hope the restaurant management will flag this as I am sure others would simply skip this place as the first interaction is with the reservation team… it is a pity

The best service and atmosphere in Dubai, specially in the winter season, and Super friendly and helpful staff. I love it!

Exceptional Food | Wonderful Ambiance | Decent Service | Highly Recommended
——— Detailed Review Below ————

La Cantine du Faubourg is a modern, elegant French restaurant located in the iconic Emirates Tower Jumeirah Hotel. Tastefully designed, and with a fabulous vibe, it is a feast for all the senses.

I ordered their chicken breast with the green curry sauce and wild pilaf rice. The chicken was very well done, with the meat tender and moist but a slightly crusty, delicious layer on top. The green sauce was delicious but for some strange reason was served cold which didn’t go well with the chicken at all. The wild rice, however, was warm and delicious. Overall, a good meal which could - and should - have been immaculate with some attention to details.

The service was professional but as some other reviewers have also noted, somewhat standoffish to the point that I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. That is rather unfortunate since one goes to a restaurant like La Cantine looking not just for good food but a well-rounded dining experience. On that count, La Cantine was a let-down.

Verdict: Highly recommended.

Food/ Quality - 5/5
Location/ Ambiance - 5/5

Others 5/5 (iconic Emirates Tower location)

Restaurant to avoid, bad experience. the staff looks bad, they are not customer friendly. Impossible to get a blanket when it's cold outside! Concerning the kitchen, the portions are very small, they forget things that we had ordered, many times. The waiter urgently asks you for tips when the bill is announced, very strange behavior. There are other much better French restaurants in Dubai, this is not one of them.
