After its usual July break, Pierre’s TT at InterContinental Dubai Festival City is back this August, ready to serve up French fine dining with its signature flair. If you’re craving foie gras, fancy lobster, or anything poached in champagne, now’s your time.

A Seasonal Return with Purpose

Pierre’s TT isn’t your average French restaurant. It’s the Dubai outpost of Pierre Gagnaire, the chef who made “emotional cuisine” a thing. Now, it’s back with a new seasonal menu that blends traditional French techniques with unexpected twists.

What’s on the menu?

  • Roasted blue lobster with licorice butter and vanilla parsnips
  • Organic chicken breast poached in champagne cream with parmesan polenta
  • Raw langoustines in red beet syrup with pink peppercorn opaline

Chef de Cuisine Mathieu Balbino is leading the kitchen, translating Gagnaire’s seasonal vision into dishes that look as sharp as they taste. If you like your food with a side of theatre and a view over Dubai Creek, this is it.

Not Just a Meal, It’s a Whole Scene

Dining at Pierre’s TT isn’t just about what’s on your plate—the whole vibe matters.

What to expect:

  • Views of Dubai Creek
  • Elegant but not stuffy interiors
  • Service that pays attention

This isn’t a quick bite before the cinema. It’s the kind of place where you sit, sip, and maybe even forget to check your phone for a while. The decor seamlessly blends Parisian chic with Dubai glamour, and every table feels like it got the memo.

Chef Pierre Gagnaire: The Man Behind the Menu

Pierre Gagnaire isn’t just a name on the sign. He’s the real deal, with Michelin stars to prove it. His entire concept is about combining the heart of classic French cuisine with modern touches that make you stop and think.

Why he matters:

  • Three Michelin stars in Paris
  • Known for pushing the boundaries of taste and texture
  • Loves seasonal ingredients and emotional storytelling through food

His influence is all over this menu. It’s bold without being weird, precise without being pretentious.
