I honestly don't know where to begin with this amazing place. I am literally out of words. Long story short? This was probably one of the BEST 'invitation-to-review' I've ever been to in my life (and I've been to literally HUNDREDS!). Maison Rouge simply shocked me. I expected just another nice lounge, another one to add to the already existing hundreds we have in Dubai. But boy, oh boy, was I wrong. Maison Rouge is anything but ordinary. If I could spend every evening there, I would. That's how much I loved it.
Having opened only last January (2018), Maison Rouge isn't exactly a crowded place, which honestly took me by surprise. How can such an amazing lounge not be as well known as it deserves to be?! I'm on a mission to let everyone know just how much they're missing out by not visiting Maison Rouge! And their rating on Zomato of only 3.6/5 is so unjustifiable! It honestly does not deserve anything less than 4.5/5!
One of the many things that stood out to me in Maison Rouge was their menu. Unlike the typical lounge menu you find at most lounges, Maison Rouge's menu has these throwback homey-feely meals such as Chicken Kiev and Beef Stroganoff, both of which tasted absolutely delicious! Granted, they had many typical lounge-menu items too, such as beef sliders, edamame, and grilled salmon. To be honest, Maison Rouge's menu is all over the place, they've got dishes from Slovakia (Brosh Soup), dishes from Greece (Moussaka), dishes from Ukraine (Vareniki), dishes from India (Bunny Chow Mutton) and the list goes on and on and on, literally all around the world. Although some people may be turned off by that, but I personally really liked it. Being in Dubai, my friends and I all come from different countries, and Maison Rouge found a way to satisfy all our food desires!
The most unique and exciting menu item Maison Rouge offers has to be their 24K Gold Burger! No kidding, 24K Gold Burger! And yes, it is indeed just as extravagant as you can imagine! With a grand entrance, this Burger is served to you by the staff cheering and singing, whilst holding handheld fireworks, dry ice filling the air and music taking over the whole lounge! It's a grand entrance perfectly suitable for a grand burger! The top burger bun is layered with gold leaf, filled with typical burger ingredients (beef patty, tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese). The bottom bun is a bright red color, perfectly suiting the Maison Rouge theme.
Maison Rouge, which is French for 'Red House', is decorated with bright red interiors all-around. The interiors, in general, give off a slight Vegas vibe, or more accurately; Lady-Marmalade inspired interiors. Red walls, blue chairs, bright performance lights, stages all around; your eyes will be going in all directions adoring the beautiful decor. I do not know who designed the interiors for Maison Rouge, but whoever it is, props to them as they did an excellent job!
My personal favorite part about Maison Rouge has to be the performances! Hands down, one of the best entertainment Dubai has to offer during dinner! Every few minutes, my friends and I got to enjoy differently (amazing!) The Burlesque theme had me in awe the entire night. Choreographed dances, plays, live instrument playing, live singing; when it comes to entertainment, Maison Rouge have not left anything out! If it's one reason to visit Maison Rouge, let it be this reason. Their performances are outstanding and it would be a shame to miss them! And have I mentioned that they have these performances EVERY NIGHT?! Weekday, weekend, all the same! Whenever you're in the mood to let go and have an amazing night, book a table at Maison Rouge and you can thank me later.
To book a table there, each diner has a minimum spend of 300dhs (I found this extremely reasonable given all the entertainment and delicious food you get in exchange). 300dhs? Worth every fils, I'd say!
Overall, I am literally head over heels with Maison Rouge and can not wait to go back! Whether it be for a celebration, date or a night out with friends, I highly recommend you check out Maison Rouge as it is a hidden golden gem!
