La Dame de Pic - One Za'abeel

Yesterday, three generations of my family dined at La Dame de Pic Dubai, the restaurant of third-generation Michelin-starred chef Sophie Pic. From the very first moment, we were captivated not just by the elegance of the setting and the flawless service, but by the genuine artistry behind every dish. The meal began with a delightful, playful introduction: a carrot and coffee-infused bite that was as imaginative as it was delicious. Each course that followed was masterfully composed, culminating in a wagyu main course cooked to perfection tender, rich, and exquisitely balanced. And then, the poached peach so delicately prepared and so emotionally resonant that it truly brought tears to my eyes. It was a moment that reminded us all how food can be both art and emotion. Service throughout the evening was impeccable: every plate arrived in perfect synchrony, cleared with quiet precision, and the pacing of the courses was seamless. Watching the open kitchen, the calm choreography of chefs and servers added to the sense of wonder. Dining at La Dame de Pic Dubai was not just a meal, but an experience shared across generations a memory we will treasure. It was, quite simply, perfection. We will definitely be back there soon. A special mention must go to Marieanna, who was so welcoming, informative, and attentive throughout the evening. Her warmth and professionalism made the experience even more memorable.

We decided to go for the 7 course wine pairing dinner and to try this restaurant for the first time. We were very pleased with the presentation of the dishes. The staff is very knowledgeable and kind! Kindness is very important as I personally don’t appreciate when some high end venues train the staff to act like they own the place. Wine selection for the pairing of the dishes was great! I really enjoyed it!

The service we received was beyond impeccable! Every single dish was meticulously prepared, it was tasty and we didn’t want it to finish. Everything single staff member was attentive to detail. I have never seen a team work so well and in sync with each other. The whole experience was beyond expectation, and definitely a restaurant we will visit on our next trip to Dubai. Thank you for the best experience! From my experience , this would have to be a true Michelin restaurant…💯

We celebrated our anniversary here and it was perfect from start to finish. We chose the 7 course meal and every single dish was amazing. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite beacause each course brought something special. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was romantic and perfect for a special day. So glad we chose it for our celebration. Highly recommend!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful restaurant with a refined atmosphere and a touch of elegance. We tried the Sonate Menu, and the food was excellent—creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were excellent—attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The only downside was the service being a little on the slow side, but overall, it was worth the wait for the quality and artistry of the dishes. Valet parking is available, which makes the experience even more convenient. Definitely a place to visit for a fine dining experience.

We've been to Anne-Sophie's Lausanne restaurant a few times. I personally consider it to be the best restaurant in the world having tried Eleven Madison and others. The exceptional location, food and service that has a touch of French humour that we enjoy. It makes us feel like we're home again every time we go. I've also heard exceptional feedback from our friends about Valence (3 Michelin star) and London (now closed) so perhaps our expectations were a little high. The location in dubai is delightful and the service began well. The cocktails and pre-dinner canapés were delightful. As we moved to dinner the air-conditioning blowing directly above my seat on my back was resolved with a pashmina but it continued to blow cold air, I'm not sure this would have happened at other locations. moving the table or reducing the air conditioner would be so much more comfortable. The food arrived perfectly, when the tea didn't arrive for one of or guests and all other drinks had we waited before enquiring and no apology was made, rather an excuse of "we weren't sure which white tea you wanted" however there's only one on the menu. After this, the waiter who originally arrived at our table dancing on his feet calmed down and one may use the French word "revendicateur". I'm fairly confident the restaurant wouldn't have gotten a Michelin star for the service we received. A note, the wine was good however not as exceptional as in other locations, perhaps that's to do with Dubai rules and regulations on wine importations. We're talking upwards of 50 euros a glass, we had 2..... On the food, Berlangot, Veal and Beef were exquisite, recommend all of them. I didn't see the famous "Bar de Jacques Pic" on the menu which also may be due to the location. Some improvement I would suggest to the the assistant general manager Thomas Berthault: - Please make note of the seats that have air con blowing on them and mention this to guests before seating. Ideally reduce the air con. - Too many different servers at the table, which also adds to the confusion, forgotten drinks are inevitable. We only managed to build a relationship with the delightful sommelier. - There was no music and then at some point we heard music in the restaurant. Either is fine but which is it? - Dubai is a location known for it's exceptional service, especially compared to Europe, I feel this was a little short, especially compared to Lausanne. Although I'm not sure we'll return, we thank you and do wish you every success.

A beautiful experience, a culinary journey that you will remember. We took the Symphony, the 7 courses degustation menu with wine pairing. All was perfectly presented and delicious.

I was very disappointed by my experience at Dame de Pic. The quality of the cuisine was underwhelming, and the service did not meet the standards one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber and reputation. Having been to the Paris location many times and always enjoying it, I felt something must have gone wrong here. The pace of the set menu was unusually slow, which compromised the entire dining experience. Unfortunately, the overall sense of disappointment matches the high price of the set menus, making it difficult to justify the visit
