A visit to Cafe des Artistes was a truly unique experience that touched upon every hedonistic sense within me. The small but lavishly decorated interior provided a luxurious atmosphere and a cuisine that absolutely delighted my palette. This hidden gem is nothing short of a culinary adventure, whether to delight in a cup of coffee, a mouthwatering dessert or to sit down for a full-course meal tasting. I've found a little haven in the bustle of Dubai.
This place redefined "Customer service" for me. Welcoming staff and an amazing Executive Chef (Michael Schluchter) who took the time to explain their entire collection in depth (from taste to texture). Never have I understood a foreign menu so well before! Not only that, he went the extra mile to customize (at no extra cost) the chocolate bombs and layered chocolate mini bites I picked up to connect them with the Francophonie celebrations at my son's school. Had an amazing experience at this cafe!
I have Zomato Gold privilege. For some reason this restaurant always shows “temporarily closed” on Zomato even though they are always open. When I visit, they don’t let me use the Gold privilege even though the restaurant is one of the gold restaurants (1+1 on food). When I ask for the gold discount, the server denies always. Once he said that instead of Zomato gold he would give me discount on water melon juice. There’s a board outside that says shisha+juice at Dh35, so he wasn’t really giving me any discount since I had ordered shisha anyway. Also, I find it very fishy that the restaurant is reluctant to accept debit/credit cards. They always ask for cash. Is it because they are evading taxes?
Dubai Marina for sure has some great restaurants overlooking the waters and great shisha with food.
I visited this restaurant last week with a friend for their Iftar and shisha. Reasonably priced for the location, it was a great experience.
The shisha was good, and quite cheap for the area which was a bit shocking but once I tried, it was lovely.
Don't miss out on their food and everything authentic. Great staff and service,
Mamma Mia 😘 ze best seafood spaghetti.. authentic Italian taste.. spaghetti could be tad more..
The place is very nice and by the water. They were pretty reasonable inn their shisha and the weather was awesome. We ordered some drinks and Moroccan tea to go with.
Good news: amaaaazing yummy pasta with big portions (and i mean big, we couldn't finish our food), nice outdoor seating with beautiful view!
Bad news: i didn't like the shisha (but my friend did), i expected better interior from a restaurant called artiste, AC was not working when we went there (but to be fair they did tell us and they were trying to get some1 to fix it and they did have portable ac that made it tolerable)
We celebrated our son's 10th birthday party over here. Our party was well organized by the friendly restaurant staff. Thanks to Mel for coordinating everything! Party hall was well decorated (without me knowing about it) and the staff had arranged few games for the children. Portions were generous.
The food was delicious. We ordered -
Margarita Pizza - 4/5
French Fries - 4.5/5
Fresh Orange Juice - 4.5/5
3 things I care about in any cafe I visit: the Shisha, the service and the food. The shisha is amazing and one of the best in Dubai. The service becomes even better when a young manager joined the cafe, Basem. The food is fresh, clean and good.
The things they should work on are the price of the shisha and to add some unique signatures for their food menu.
If you are looking for a nice view while enjoying a delicious dish and shisha...look no further. Also, the quality and portions of the food is very reasonable for the price.
We have visited Artiste restaurant for the Iftar buffet today. Reaching the place at around 7.45pm and seeing it empty gave us a strange feeling and we were thinking about changing to next doors location. Happy we did not! We started with soup which was delicious and tasty, we could not stop 😀 Also the rest of the buffet options were nice. There were 6 different options, not much but enough. Only the juices on offer in the buffet were too sweet and should be changed. The lamb meat was just perfectly cooked, one of the best ever in Dubai. We really enjoyed our time and the hospitality. We will definitely go back! Arabic cuisine with Tunisian touch. Shisha is available.
This restaurant reminds me of home cooked food.. I loved all dishes that I tried so far, I've been there for 3 times and will go back again.. The food is so delicious, especially the Kibbeh, which is made more like how my mother used to do it.. Vine leaves are divine, and from my 15 years experience living in UAE and trying all kinds of restaurants, I can say that it's the best vine leaves I have ever tasted.. The restaurant is very generous with Food portions as the plates are really big and full. Location is convenient also in one of the best places in Dubai.. Highly recommended for those who want to remember their mothers cooking.
