French Finesse Meets Japanese Soul Rave Dines: Discovering the Culinary Delights at Bar des Prés, DIFC French Finesse Meets Japanese Soul by Khadija Husain 25 Jan 2025 It’s not every day that you walk into a restaurant perched on the 51st floor, only to feel instantly transported to a world where Parisian elegance flirts with East Asian vibrance. But that’s exactly what happens at Bar des Prés by Cyril Lignac. This isn’t just dining; it’s an experience—a feast for both the eyes and the palate, all while the city of Dubai sprawls beneath you. The first thing you notice when you enter is the impressive high ceilings that give the space an expansive, airy feel. The entire restaurant feels both grand and intimate at the same time, thanks to its thoughtful design. The deep blues, copper accents, and textured bamboo and rattan details create a unique blend of Parisian chic and East Asian minimalism. Designed by the talented Lázaro Rosa-Violán, the interiors strike a balance between elegance and warmth. The ambiance invites you to relax, but there’s also an unmistakable sense of sophistication that underscores everything. The Sushi Counter, seating just 10 guests, offers a rare chance to witness culinary artistry up close. Even though I wasn’t seated there, the views from my table—paired with the restaurant's vibrant energy and the Dubai skyline—more than made up for it. The menu, like the space, is bold but balanced—French technique infused with Japanese flair. We began with the Miso caramelised green asparagus, a dish that transforms a humble vegetable into something extraordinary. The miso brought deep umami, the hazelnuts added crunch, and the sesame vinaigrette offered a nutty, tangy finish. Next came the Breaded ‘volaille des Landes’ chicken, crisp on the outside with an irresistibly juicy center, paired with a zesty sriracha mayonnaise that provided just the right amount of heat. Indulgent yet refined, this dish could easily become a guilty pleasure. But the star of the evening? The Charred A4 Japanese Wagyu entrecote, a true showstopper. Cooked to perfection, the meat was buttery and rich, with just the right amount of char that gave it depth without overpowering the natural flavour. The barbecue sauce added a smoky sweetness that paired beautifully with the marbling of the wagyu. If you're going to indulge, this is where you do it. The Grilled Australian beef fillet was lighter in comparison, but the smoked Kerala pepper brought its distinct heat and complexity to the dish. And while I’m normally not one to rave about side dishes, the Vanilla mashed potatoes deserve their mention. Who knew vanilla and potatoes could get along so well? It was unexpected but worked—creamy, comforting, with a touch of sweetness that just made sense. Dessert is where Cyril Lignac’s background as a pastry chef shines. The Guanaja chocolate biscuit—decadent, gooey, with a molten hazelnut centre—was like a warm hug for chocolate lovers. Paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was the kind of dessert that made you want to scrape the plate clean. But the Raspberry pavlova was the refreshing counterpart. Light, airy, with the perfect mix of tart raspberries, sweet mango, and the zing of passion fruit. It felt like the meal had come full circle, from indulgence to lightness, leaving you satisfied but not overwhelmed. Final Thoughts Bar des Prés isn’t just about food—it’s about the entire experience. The high ceilings, the intricate design, the sweeping views of Dubai, and the DJ’s curated beats all work together to make it feel like you’re in a world of your own. The impeccable service and attention to detail add to the sense of sophistication that lingers long after your meal ends. If I had to describe the experience in one word? Effortless. Everything flowed smoothly, yet behind it all, there’s a team of experts ensuring every detail is just right. Whether you’re here for a business lunch, a romantic dinner, or simply to unwind with friends, Bar des Prés effortlessly adapts to your mood, elevating it. For a dining experience that leaves a lasting impression, this is a place worth returning to, again and again. Bar des Prés Lunch Price: 155 AED per person Opening Hours: Monday – Sunday Restaurant: Lunch 12–3 PM | Business Lunch 12-3PM I Dinner 7 PM–12 AM | Lounge: Lunch 12pm-3pm I Dinner 7pm-1am Website: https://www.bardespres.com/dubai-restaurant/ Number: +971 4 498 1616 Email: reservations@bardespres.ae Image courtesy of Bar des Prés

Maison Margiela Opens Stunning New Boutique at Mall of the Emirates by Rave Staff 26 Feb 2025 Maison Margiela has announced the grand opening of its latest boutique at Mall of the Emirates, marking another significant milestone in the brand’s expansion across the Middle East. The launch follows a strategic joint venture between OTB Group and Chalhoub Group, as revealed last June, further cementing Maison Margiela's presence in the region. Occupying an impressive 265 square meters, the new boutique offers an immersive shopping experience that combines modern design with the signature elements of Maison Margiela’s aesthetic. The space also boasts a 40-square-meter terrace café, offering shoppers a unique spot to relax and reflect, operated by AP&Co. Hospitality. The boutique's design took a full year to conceptualize and build, showcasing the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and avant-garde design. The exterior and interior are framed by sweeping curves of travertine, Maison Margiela’s latest visual code, that beckons customers into the brand’s universe. The façade, a striking composition of curved backlit travertine tubes, highlights the iconic Tabi footprint—an emblem synonymous with Maison Margiela—subtly featured as a recurring pattern. Once inside, guests are greeted by a space that harmoniously blends modern luxury with the brand's signature deconstructed aesthetic. Dark patinated bronze flows from the storefront to key collection displays, adding an element of warmth to the minimalistic space. The boutique offers Maison Margiela’s complete range of products, including their iconic bags, small leather goods, and footwear, which are given pride of place in a spacious central area. Ready-to-wear collections are displayed towards the rear of the boutique, encouraging visitors to explore the brand’s world as they move through the space. An air of “unconscious glamour” pervades the store, enhanced by the artfully arranged décor. Misfit furniture and a travertine sofa, reminiscent of deconstructed classic objects, add a playful yet sophisticated touch. The shelves, display tables, and seating further exemplify Maison Margiela’s décortiqué technique, with their stained travertine surfaces contrasting against optical white resin-filled indentations, lending an artful, sculptural feel to the interiors. For an even more exclusive shopping experience, the boutique includes three spacious fitting rooms, one of which is a dedicated VIP suite. This luxurious space, framed by travertine tubes for added privacy, offers an intimate setting for discerning clientele. In celebration of the boutique’s opening, Maison Margiela has released a limited-edition Snatched bag and small leather goods collection, available in a distinctive Thyme color. This exclusive line is sure to be a coveted item for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike. The Mall of the Emirates store follows the successful launch of similar Maison Margiela boutiques in renowned cities such as London, Paris, Osaka, and Shanghai. With 120 stores worldwide, Maison Margiela continues to elevate the retail experience, blending artistic design with timeless luxury, inviting clients to indulge in a journey through their iconic brand universe.

This Winter Dhow Cruise Offers a Dubai Experience You Can’t Miss by Khadija Husain 13 Jan 2026 Winter in Dubai has a way of recalibrating the city. The air softens, evenings stretch longer, and suddenly the idea of being outdoors after sunset feels not just pleasant, but necessary. It is precisely then, when the Marina is at its most flattering, bathed in the honeyed glow of dusk, that this is the season for a slow pilgrimage by water, and it’s where a dhow cruise, done right, finds its moment This isn't about ticking a tourist box. It's about observing the city’s second act from the best seat in the house. We booked the experience operated by Tour Dubai, the Marina dhow cruise is straightforward in concept and generous in payoff. You board expecting a scenic dinner. What unfolds is a moving view of one of the city’s most photogenic neighbourhoods, paired with an atmosphere that builds quietly, then all at once. The evening begins predictably. Tables are set, accents fill the air, and Dubai Marina's skyline performs before the boat departs. Once it pulls away, the towers glow, reflections ripple, and the city reveals itself at a calmer pace. From the water, everything feels closer, more like a backdrop meant to be enjoyed uninterrupted. Dinner is an international spread that mirrors the crowd itself, designed for variety rather than theatrics. It’s not about the menu being memorable dish by dish; it’s about the rhythm of eating while the city moves around you. Cutlery clinks, glasses are refilled, conversations overlap and drift. It works because it doesn’t try to distract from the setting. People eat, talk, and look up often. This is an experience where the view does most of the heavy lifting. Halfway through the cruise, the mood shifts. The music picks up, and the atmosphere loosens without announcement. What starts with a few people standing turns into a full deck moving together. Soon, it looks less like a dining room and more like a gathering that has outgrown its original plan — just spontaneous dancing under the Marina lights, strangers momentarily united by the same beat. There’s a distinctly global energy on board. It’s an energy Dubai understands well. Touristy, yes — but unapologetically so. It’s a refreshing experience that doesn’t pretend to be anything else. The dhow cruise isn’t trying to sell exclusivity or nostalgia. It’s offering atmosphere, movement, and a front-row seat to the city at its most theatrical. What makes this cruise especially fitting for winter is its ease. It’s one booking, one setting, one continuous evening. No venue hopping. No reservations stacked on top of each other. Just one continuous evening that turns into dancing, framed by cool air and uninterrupted views. There’s also a quiet charm in seeing Dubai the way visitors often do, wide-eyed, camera-ready, fully present. It’s a reminder that the city’s appeal doesn’t always lie in what’s new or exclusive, but in experiences that bring people together without overcomplicating things. As the dhow returns, the energy softens, conversations resume, and the skyline begins to feel familiar again. People leave relaxed, slightly windblown, and smiling — the unmistakable markers of a night that delivered exactly what it promised. You’ve seen the Marina from an angle most people forget exists. In a season crowded with pop-ups, openings, and overbooked calendars, this Marina cruise stands out for a simpler reason. It asks very little of you. Just to show up, step aboard, and let the evening unfold. It’s not the kind of night you dissect later. It’s the kind you remember in fragments. And sometimes, that’s exactly the kind of winter night worth stepping out for. For more information visit: Website: www.tour-dubai.com Instagram: @tourdubai

This collaboration ensures that each creation reflects Bentley’s signature aesthetic — an embodiment of elegance, innovation, and unparalleled craftsmanship. The UAE market, with its ever-growing demand for high-end, distinctive pieces, provides the perfect backdrop for this new venture. Mubashir Shaffi, Founder & Managing Director of The Mattress Store and Bentley Home’s UAE partner, remarked, “Bentley is world-renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship, and we are excited to bring its iconic home furnishings line to Dubai. The market is rapidly evolving, and we see increased interest in high-end pieces with standout designs and a captivating story to tell. The performance, design, and style of your Bentley is no longer relegated to your garage; it’s available for your living room and home office.” The new Bentley Home showroom is a striking celebration of contemporary luxury.

Available in round and rectangular shapes, the Camden table is known for its contoured legs, which create a suspension effect, merging lightness and dynamism with impeccable craftsmanship. This refined table is complemented by the Ridley chair, whose bevelled frame mirrors the aerodynamic lines of Bentley’s cars, bringing elegance and timeless design into the home. For those seeking the ultimate in bedroom luxury, the Brixton bed is a standout offering. The bed pairs minimalist design with the highest levels of comfort, featuring a distinctive double headboard in either natural wood or lacquered finishes. Optional lighting highlights the bed’s refined textures, creating a sophisticated and serene environment. Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of Bentley Home’s latest collection is its foray into home office furniture, introduced at Milan Design Week. The Wilton desk, designed in collaboration with Francesco Forcellini, takes center stage. Its dual-shell profile, degradé finish, and flowing curves create a seamless blend of form and function. Paired with the Bollington office armchair, the Wilton desk forms a harmonious workspace that echoes Bentley’s signature style — refined, fluid, and effortlessly luxurious. With this new showroom, Bentley Home reaffirms its commitment to offering a holistic approach to luxury living. Each piece in the Dubai showcase reflects the brand’s passion for blending heritage with innovation, creating spaces that are both powerful and light.
