I just got back from Dubai after a 4-day visit. I went to La Petite Maison restaurant TWICE in four days. Β It specializes in French Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant is located in Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC), Gate Village 8. If you are renting a car, there is a 3-hour complimentary valet service so you don’t have to worry about parking your car & if you are going & leaving by a taxi, you don’t have to worry as there are lots of Taxis passing in front of DIFC. Anyway, after trying several dishes, here is what I recommend you should order:
For Appetizers:
- White Beans with Truffle Vinaigrette
- Marinated Beetroot
- Salad of Green Lintel
For main Course:
- Order the Grilled Rib eye steak, if you are a meat person as it is 400 gram. Since I am not a meat person & the portion is kind of big for me, I like to share the steak.
- French Fried Potato
- Rigatoni with Mushrooms: We got this as complimentary as the steaks took a while . You might want to check the price as it doesn’t list the price in the menu.. it says at market’s price. π
For Dessert:
Don’t waste your time with any of the other desserts. Just order French Toast with Spice Ice-Cream and DO NOT even think about SHARING it with anybody. It’s that yummy. π On the day of my departure, I went to their restaurant AGAIN with my luggage so I can eat that dessert. Β I told them I had a flight to catch & I wanted to leave my luggage with them. They were happy to oblige. I ate appetizers and dessert and quickly left π It was a risky move on my part as I arrived at the restaurant less than 3 hours before my flight and I left 40 minutes before the closing of the check in. If I had missed my flight, it would have been worth it. *lol* π
I went to this restaurant 3 times & the average cost per person was between 300-500 AED.
If you plan to go, I suggest calling to reserve as at dinners, the place is quite busy: +971 (0) 4439 0505
