The Verdict

Bar de Pres is a fusion Japanese/ Asian restaurant by acclaimed French chef Chef Cyril Lignac. Dubai is his first venture into the UAE after Paris and London. The venue in Dubai is far more spectacular inside than the one in London, boasting a high ceiling, wooden panels, and stunning views of the Dubai skyline. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing. Not a single dish lived up to expectations or was enjoyable. Desserts salvaged the performance but failed to elevate the event as a whole. In sum, you are here for the vibes not the food.
