Quaint, Parisian Themed ‘Bistro Madeleine’


The quintessential Parisian style ‘Bistro Madeleine’ has launched last month at InterContinental Dubai Festival City. The newly opened casual restaurant has a quaint yet contemporary ambiance, serving French delicacies at the water’s edge on the bank of the Dubai Creek.

The restaurant takes its name from the shell shaped Madeleine cakes of 19th century France, which can be found as the signature pastry, and introduces diners to the traditional French theme throughout the restaurant. The restaurant has dishes available for three meals a day, and also serves imported beverages at a stylish French bar.

The sweet and salted breakfast menu includes pastry favourites as well as cooked dishes such as ‘L’omelette jambon-fromage’ and ‘Les Oeufs Bénedictine’ (ham and cheese omelet or Eggs Benedict). A swift business lunch is on offer with a choice of typical French dishes including salade nicoise, foie gras de canard and saumon fume. High tea is available in the afternoon, followed by intimate dinners with candle light, soft French music and a romantic setting missing only the River Seine.

Breakfast is served from 8:30am to 12pm and then the restaurant opens from 1pm serving until 12am. For restaurant reservations please call 04 7011 1128.

Fizz and Sparkle with the Launch of Eclipse

InterContinental Dubai Festival City has created a fizz last month with the opening of Eclipse champagne bar. The chic and stylish venue on level 26 of the luxurious hotel provides its patrons with a bird’s eye view of the city skyline and Dubai Creek, as well as a range of uniquely designed cocktails exclusive to Eclipse.

The design of the Eclipse mirrors pure style and frivolity. Red and cream, leather padded walls surround tables of marble with sleek bar stools for guests to perch upon. In the centre of the room, a double sided bar with fully trained barmen serves over 100 international cocktails, or fulfill any recipe request a guest may have. Whilst the ambiance emanated through the smooth music and warm bronze tones may denote the style of a classical age gone by, modernity is still prevalent by way of design touches such as the velvet finished leaning post and blinking light effects. The effect of indulgence is taken further by the array of imported cigars on offer, including luxury lines such as Montecristo and Romeo Y Julieta. These are all on display in a large humidor, adding to the opulence of the surroundings.
