Sagetsu Dubai

Sagetsu by Tetsuya. Chef Tetsuya Wakuda, the Japanese-born chef, who embarked on his gastronomic journey in Sydney in 1982, brings his modern Japanese flair to Dubai with Sagetsu. I will not talk about the sleek design of the restaurant nor the flawless service. I will just focus on the food. Sagetsu offers chef’s tasting menus of 5, 7 and 9 courses in addition to a la cart option. Portions are generous for a tasting menu. The focus on high quality ingredients is very evident combined with French cooking techniques and presentation. The result is a true culinary excellence. There was not a single dish that failed to impress us. The Botan Shrimp – a medley of Hokkaido sea urchin and Oscietra caviar inside an urchin shell was insanely delicious. I thought I was going to be disappointed with the dessert, I mean chocolate mousse! Yet it was exceptionally delicious and light. This was the best dining experience I had in Dubai so far. Sagetsu is raising the bar in Dubai’s fine dining scene.
