La Cantine de Faubourg Dubai

La Cantine de Faubourg is on the first floor of the Trade Centre in Dubai. It sits a twenty-minute walk from the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall.

This French restaurant offers a modern take on contemporary cooking. While the area is dominated by the frantic pace of the nearby malls and the opera district, the room runs smart and elegant, feeling more like a private clubhouse than a tourist haunt. Most venues in this part of the city rely on their proximity to the major landmarks to sustain a crowd, but this space succeeds by keeping the spectacle at a distance. It is a more contained experience than the high-traffic dining halls found closer to the fountain, making it the better choice if you prefer your meal without the constant movement of the surrounding commercial hub.
