CQ French Brasserie - JLT

We visited on a Monday evening on our recent trip to Dubai in November 2025, and took advantage of their Monday night steak deal. Not our best meal on this trip but certainly not a bad meal, and not a bad steak by any means, though it wasn't outstanding and I've certainly had better steak for the same money. The atmosphere was nice, a real buzz about the place with a mix of clientele, some enjoying like us a romantic meal for two, others in fairly large groups and others clearly having business meals. The service was good, the waiting staff were polite and courteous. The restaurant is decorated and furnished very much in a Parisian style, with plush red furnishing and dark oak wood panelling, and glass fronted cabinets displaying bottles of wine.

My favourite restaurant in Dubai! It’s always perfect and the best Steak Frites I’ve ever tried! Been coming here since it was opened and it’s always the same.In love with the festive touches. Amir is always so attentive and nice, always smiling. And I can’t forget to mention Andy, my sweetheart!

We had a wonderful dinner at their JLT branch. The food was excellent, and the staff were amazing—especially Nile, MJ, and Vishnu. It was a fantastic night spent with friends for our year-end celebration. They have a wide variety of dishes, drinks, and desserts to choose from. We will definitely be coming back!

We had a wonderful evening at CQ French Brasserie. The atmosphere was very relaxed and we immediately felt comfortable. Although it was quite loud, I didn’t find it negative at all, as it gave the place a lively and vibrant charm. The food was fabulous, and the service staff had an excellent sense of timing between courses. The wine list, as well as the overall food selection, was outstanding, offering both sophisticated, complex wines and simple yet delicious ones. All in all, we were absolutely delighted and would love to come back more often. Thank you for a fantastic evening!

We visited C.Q. Brasserie first time on ladys night. Just to get good mood and also compare our this summer experince from France, were we spend time in Alsac area. So, we were just curious ... and its exeeded our expectations. We had no bookibg, but they found to us one table for two and even changed to less growded area. Service, food taste and quality were exact we waited. Good company Vishnu, Neil and " espresso machhiato" Kenny were really, really good. Its critacally important to understand as french restoran is not just place for good dining ... its something bigger of that. The people, who works there, the atmosphere, the community feeling, good mode, happy people like one big family and also food. Its not just something eatable, it should be and it is party of tastes on your mouth. Yes, tenderloin is simple, but way, how meat is cooked ..! Foie gras ... , it was even better then in France, muessels, salmon, duck confit and so one and one. And we decided to celebrate our weddimg anniversary there, even we could enjoy in Dubai some local arabic food restoran. And again, not even smallest excuse to complain. Everything were just perfect. Even choice of wines, even french orginal is impressive. Thank you all there, who made our evening memorable. And special gradity to everyone not mentioned by name, i just cant keep all names on mind. Greetings from "snowy" estonians. And will go again. P.S. add two pictures for comparing from France, Obernai, restoran La Dime.

Atmosphere was stunning — felt just like a Parisian brasserie. The meat dishes were excellent: fresh, rich in flavor, and generous in portion. Frites were a must-try. Escargot was okay, nothing special. Desserts and sorbets were disappointing. Service was slow due to too few waiters. Overall, great for food and ambiance, less for dessert and service.

Amazing authentic French cuisine and one of the best French meals I’ve ever had, including on extensive travel around France. Many native French speakers in the restaurant as customers too. Was quite busy yet the staff managed everything superbly.

I recently dined at CQ French Brasserie, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious, with the steak standing out as the highlight of the meal. Cooked to perfection, it was tender and flavorful—definitely one of the best steaks I've ever had. The service was exceptional; the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. Our bartender, Kaye, deserves a special mention for crafting drinks that were nothing short of extraordinary. Each cocktail was unique and perfectly balanced, earning a solid 10/10 in my book! The atmosphere of the brasserie was vibrant and lively, making it a perfect spot for a night out. The combination of great food, top-notch service, and a welcoming ambiance made for a memorable evening. Overall, I highly recommend CQ French Brasserie to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. I can't wait to return!
