From specially curated Ramadan menus to date nights with a deal, and sizzling Saturday roasts, these two restaurants by Lincoln Hospitality are the ones to watch this month
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates 12 April 2021: Leading Food and Beverage group Lincoln Hospitality has been making waves with their cutting-edge ensemble of desirable dining destinations in Downtown Dubai. This month très chic La Serre, with Bistro Chic & Boulangerie, which quickly developed itself a reputation for being the neighbourhood’s most popular hub, has designed two enticing menus for a memorable Ramadan. Distillery, meanwhile, with its cool Shoreditch-meets-Tribeca vibe, is inviting couples to celebrate each other with an intimate date night.
Ramadan Menus at La Serre
For a traditional Iftar or a sweet Suhour with a generous serving of fine French flair, La Serre is pulling out all the stops this Ramadan. Setting the tone for a decidedly sophisticated occasion, the buzzy bistro and boulangerie has two separate menus to mark the occasion of the holy month.
The Ramadan set menu at Bistro Chic is priced at AED250 per person and includes an impressive line-up of dishes. To start, guests can enjoy a nutritious cauliflower soup coupled with a rocket salad filled pita bread, followed by the main event featuring succulent lamb shank paired with celeriac couscous, green pea puree, cress pea shoot and topped off with a lamb jus. For desert guests can relish in a selection of four traditional French deserts, petit fours, including raspberry chocolate, coffee truffle, praline chocolate and raspberry marshmallow.
The Ramadan Sweet Package at Boulangerie is priced at AED 95 per person including tea and coffee. Guests will be presented with a platter featuring homemade dates, carrot cake, pistachio biscuits and a cinnamon-infused paine d’epice – a French classic. Because sometimes you just want to eat cake.
Date: Daily / throughout Ramadan
Time: 8:30pm to 2am
Price: AED250 p/p for the set menu at Bistro Chic and AED95 p/p for the sweet package at Boulangerie
Date Nights at Distillery
Struggling to plan a date night with a difference? Distillery in Downtown Dubai just made it easy with their latest offering created especially for couples. A new three-course set menu is available every Wednesday evening from 7pm to 11:30pm and is priced at just AED395 per couple including a bottle of wine. Billed as the city’s hippest hipster hangout, the gastropub is the perfect antidote to dull nights in with an upbeat atmosphere and a crowd-pleasing menu that caters to all tastes.
Start with a choice of Caesar salad, Distillery chicken wings or prawn tempura before moving onto beef tartare, a chicken burger or a vege-friendly mushroom risotto. Round off proceedings with a sweet and sticky Eton mess or a gloriously decadent Irish Coffee Sundae. Not only is the food fantastically fun, it’s also seriously good. It’s the type of joint that ensures guests want to settle in for just one more flamboyant cocktail or arrive early to take advantage of the eight-hour happy hour from 12pm to 8pm.
