Amazing place for Sunday morning breakfast ! The menu is really nice and great quality ingredients. We tried eggs Benedict and french toast and were super delicious. They serve the coffee with freshly baked madeleine, just lovely ! Must try the place , excellent food and views outdoor .

Very, very special restaurant and the treatment of the staff is very wonderful. The restaurant has distinctive food and the staff are courteous, and the location is wonderful

It was a great experience and very good food, especially the starters and the mains. In desserts, French toast was very good, and mousse was okay, too chocolaty for our taste.

I love the food prepared by the carine restaurant. I came here with my family and find its a nice resturant compared to others.

Once again thankyou carine team.

This is I think my second or third review on Carine.

The place is going down hill. This is definitely not good for chef Izu's reputation as most of his outlets are great.
Anyway let's get to the food, quality is falling rapidly and portion sizes seem to be shrinking.

We ordered the big 1.2 kg Tbone and it was not cooked properly, with some areas burnt and some blue.

The onion tart which always was a favorite was just off and the worst thing was the apple tarte tatin which used to be the greatest in Dubai has now gone south, the apple was just wrong, the texture was off and it didn't have the acidity required to balance the caramel, and it was mushy which was the wrong texture.

In any case it was a sad moment for me.

In the bright side the ambiance and location are great.

Amazing food, with very generous serving. At the high end in terms of price but you really get an elevated experience in terms of service and the food.

A beautiful place with great French dishes. Overlooking a golf course. Tranquile with nice music. Smooth service.

My favorite restaurant for dinner in Dubai. Inventive but not pretentious. Busy but not crowded. Elegant but not sophisticated.

We had the best French Dining experience in Dubai. Every food we ordered carried the utmost detail of favours and presentation. We loved everything there and would definitely recommend our friends who visit Dubai.
10 February 2023 22:46
Have been here today for lunch and left very disappointed.
Quality of food is generally OK - but I feel someone opened some pre-cooked packages.
Portions are small - but prices are high!
F.e. I have ordered a beetroot-salad with Halloumi and what has been served was 6! Pieces of beetroot with some Halloumi-Cream-Cheese decoration around it.at a whopping 70 Dirhams!
We left with more than DHS 700 for 4 pals (drinks only water)
In my humble opinion: there are plenty of places out there where you can get something onto your plate for your money!

Very nice restaurant
Food is fantastic despite little expensive
The vue is very nice in the terrace
Staff is very professional
The tarte tatin for dessert is excellent! You need to try it

Came here for dinner with some friends last week. Cool French restaurant that's in the middle of Emirates Golf Club. All the food dishes were really amazing. The lamb chops were probably some of the best I've ever had. Service was commendable as well.

Taking away 1 star for the rip-off bottle of wine that we were served. I understand that alcohol is more expensive in restaurants, especially in Dubai. But to price a €15-20 bottle of red wine at €120 is outrageous, that too for a screw top! That's almost 6x the retail price!
02 December 2022 12:20
Amazing place.food was impecable.we had the seafood pasta sharing dish.that comes with tomatoe sauce lobster.and clamps. I also had burrata for statters and it was fresh
30 November 2022 20:28
The staff are good and the food is tasty.

I found the overall cost to be over the to top. If you wanted any sides the minimum is AED 50 and they do not have children's menus.
12 November 2022 16:07
Set in Emirates Golf Course, definitely a fine dining experience with bursts of flavours and deliciousness. Excellent staff, service, taste, display, quantity and finesse of fine dining
03 September 2022 3:30
Best french toast I have ever had in dubai.

Must try truffle scramble eggs as well.

Service is good and the quality of food is superb.

Must take to go the pastries? There are so good.
26 August 2022 3:47
Nice place, having good terrace and atmosphere. Food so good, specially main course and fish and ribs.
24 August 2022 13:36
Food is great however they only give you 15 mins of free WiFi.what is this, the 90's? For the price you pay for the food don't make WiFi a luxury, its expected. A IT technician had to come in to grant me access to unlimited WiFi so I could get some work done after my meal. Come on guys, you're better than that.
09 July 2022 12:44
Incredible food, even in the small details. Who would have thought that olive oil and lemon juice with bread would taste so good? !
09 July 2022 6:46
Before I went there, looked at the pictures from here and Instagram. Pictures give you better expression than what you experience there. I was there for a breakfast and it was just okay. I thought there is outdoor place where we can enjoy the last days of outdoor but It was closed.
16 June 2022 11:42
Wonderful place for the breakfast. Nice food, great atmosphere with the view on the fountain and golf field.
Perfect place for breakfast and lunch.
Great service.
They have their own pastries. Which are super delicious.

That is place I will recommend to everybody
27 May 2022 3:58
J’aime beaucoup, one of my dubai favorite. Been there maybe 20 times. Quality is stable, service is efficient ans good. Business, family, friends, all loved it. Only drawback: a poshy ridiculous booking experience where they try to impose their timing, even when the restaurant is half empty when you go. Solve that and the experience will be perfect
My favourite: the salt baked harissa sea bass. The best in Dubai. Better than Bice, than il boro Toscano, etc….
26 May 2022 9:21
Carine never gets it wrong! My favourite restaurant in Dubai. Food is consistently good, atmosphere on the terrace is great, and service is top notch.
09 April 2022 19:30
One of the best restaurants I've been to.

Food good
Location good
Staff good
Menu good
Price good for the menu and location
23 March 2022 7:01
Good food and crowd. Lovely breakfast place. Once golf course views. We had a minor issue with one of the waiters who didn't explain the many adequately, and we ordered way too much food for the table. The food was good, but I hated to waste it.
16 February 2022 0:53
Simply excellent. Elegant location, impeccable service, exquisite food (they pampered us with lots of tastings offered directly by the chef), and to conclude.the apple pie is divine! A place to keep in mind!
15 February 2022 1:10
It was love at first sight, as the saying goes. At least, the hype made it somewhere to look forward to. But Carine is anything but somewhere to love.

A restaurant overlooking a golfers’ paradise would make for the ideal lunch spot - but nicest views are closed off for lunch? And while the coveted Chef Izu has a menu to make the toughest foodies smile in awe, this menu is decently good (3/5, compared to Gaia's 4.5 or others of his fame). Note: the service is like getting hit by a stray golf ball from the course down below so proceed with caution.

After having to argue with a irritable host for a table swap from indoor to outdoor seating (as we had booked), it wasn't surprising that being served with a smile was going to be like landing a hole-in-one with a blindfold on. But the food came quickly, and although we had to plate it ourselves, our table of ten guests was kept entertained by stories of other culinary holiday mishaps.

What seemed to resemble the culinary equivalent of decapitation by guillotine was at least scheduled on a lovely day so that lunch was saved by the cool breeze and sunny views. And while plates were turning, they were also stacking up high on all corners of the table.

Like all frightening experiences, what had only been a one and a half hour lunch was liberated after having paid - obviously, the lunch service ends after 2: 30PM (as well as whatever hope you walk in with).

Quite frankly, the entire experience was as enjoyable as sinking a golf ball in a pond - short lived, probably a mistake, and just not worth telling your friends about.

Breakfast at Carine, an amazing start for the day. Great food, lovely atmosphere and friendly service. Yes it took long time to get your order (they run half kitchen for breakfast) but it’s worth the wait.
11 January 2022 19:02
Nice to visit at least once but my personal opinion is overpriced for what it is and can't say the food impressed me. Great service though and very friendly staff
11 January 2022 7:23
It was my second visit to Carine. The food quality has improved a little but the service was still questionable. The ultimate was when the waitress explained that a rib eye steak is always full of unchewable fat. That was a new one. This is not an LPM.
03 January 2022 6:51
What’s not to love? Carine will make even the most cynical believe in romance and love. A thoughtful menu, comforting yet fresh flavors, great service, and a golf course for a back yard. It’s so easy to recommend Carine for a lunch with friends or a date! Ps. The passion fruit cheesecake is a non-negotiable! You must order it…
13 December 2021 3:38
It's expensive but totally worth it for the food, ambience and service.
All the appetizers were amazing and the steak was perfect.
I'll be back.
03 December 2021 19:24
We booked the table at 9: 45pm, reached 7-10 minutes late and they didn't seat us. Instead of being accommodating staff was being rigid. They have lost a customer forever.
29 November 2021 17:14
One of the best meals I've ever had. The food is simply exquisite. Notably the lentil salad, beetroot salad, squid, prawns, tuna carpaccio, sea bass and the truffle pasta - forget the market price tag, it's worth every penny/dirham/dollar! And order the Tarte tatin at the start, you won't regret it and will have room no matter how full you think you are! Great staff service too. Nothing to fault here!
21 November 2021 18:52
Our first time experience of Carine was great. Thanks to lovely lady Dinara, who was looking after our table and made our evening extra special with her attentive service. Food was delicious. We are definitely coming back. Highly recommended.
10 November 2021 7:46
Great view, super yum French food and just overall lovely vibe …

Must have their burrata and ravioli … that’s what I had … but tbh everyone on our table loved their food … so thumbs up:)
07 November 2021 1:33
The ambiance is amazing, it’s a great breakfast spot. Recommend: Scrambled eggs with truffle and almond croissant
27 October 2021 15:49
We have had a great french family dinner.some menues and wines are too highly priced.quite crowded and noisy.
04 October 2021 12:49
My favorite restaurant in Dubai for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I’ve been here countless times and loved it every time! I love the food, vibe and staff! Our waitress Dinara was very sweet and attentive

Went to Carine Restaurant to celebrate my birthday with friends on Friday 30th July at 13.30.
We informed the waitress (the one from Kazakhstan) that one of the guests was allergic to Capsicum. We informed her THREE times.
The waitress seemed disinterested in her job and the service was mediocre. She was very blunt and cold while taking the orders.
When my friend got her Grilled Aubergine with Prawns, it had green capsicum in it. Consequently, she felt sick and had abdominal cramps. She did not enjoy the rest of the lunch.
The Supervisor came and apologised. However, not once did the waitress apoligise for not relaying essential information about food allergies for the food orders placed, to the kitchen.
The food was good, but the service level is really poor for such a reputable restaurant.
If you want to celebrate a special occasion, i suggest you choose a different restaurant where the staff is attentive towards your requests and the service is acceptable.
Not going there again.

Unfortunately, we had higher expectations. Meat was burned rather than well done. Guess flames were to high and in a hurry. Some side dishes ordered but never delivered. Service was below par. Sad but we won't come back.
18 March 2020 6:40
I went here on Valentine's Day for breakfast and I ordered some sides because a lot of the menu had eggs or bread with yeast (no sourdough) ; both of which I am intolerant to. I was surprised that the sides that they served me were in fact the chopped-up vegetables that they had prepared for use in an omelette. They tried to make up for it with avocado that was sliced, but by that point I was already underwhelmed by the restaurant.
25 February 2020 7:38
Fantastic food, beautiful outdoor seating area, great service, lovely staff. You can never go wrong with this place. Order your Tarte Tatin dessert as soon as you sit down. Highly recommended.
24 February 2020 9:46
Very overpriced menu and cheap quality food. The shrimps and langoustine were chewy, the salt crusted seabass very dry and sole was not fresh at all, we returned it. How difficult is it to get proper seafood in Dubai when you have other wonderful restaurants who can manage?

When we saw the chef we understood why. They should hire someone competent who knows their ingredients instead of going for the cheapest products! Never again.
15 February 2020 12:40
Still one of my favorite places for lunch with the light and the outdoor views it is best suited for that. The food is great and always hits the mark.
08 February 2020 14:01
Such a great venue with green views. Ideal in good weather. Good customer service and delicious breakfast!
31 January 2020 8:40
There are better golf club restaurants out there.

What i didn’t like:
Food was slow.
Servings generally small.
Baby chicken was too salty.
Flies buzzing around you.

What I liked:
Langoustine was tasty.
Service was good and knowledgeable.
31 January 2020 7:31
Extremely disappointing service! From the time we arrived we were given menus and just left there, we kept staring at the staff trying to see if anyone acknowledged our presence since we were sitting dead centre of the restaurant. Finally we flagged a man down, wearing a suit who said he was the assistant manager. He seemed to be in a rush and wanted to hurry with our orders. He took our meal orders first and was about to run off we said "wait what about our drinks" he said he was going to put our meal orders first! We got our drinks and apps, we waited 45 min for our main course! While receiving our main course, our appetizer plates were not even cleared and no one came to check on how our food was. I observed tables around us being served and "the assistant manager" was more attentive to certain guests than others! There was a couple also beside us who even complained about the service. Throughout our negative dining experience I spoke to the assistant manager who explained they were short of staff and sent another manager over! Apology apology.won't make up for my experience or my guests and needless to say I will never revist Carine again. The food is over priced, service Is horrible-this is displayed from management themselves. I have had better service at Texas Roadhouse! There are far and plenty of amazing restaurants in Dubai to choose from, don't waste your time or money at Carine!

Lovely restaurant serving up some delicious food. Staff are very friendly. The outdoor section is more lively with a nice selection of electronic music to listen to while you get hammered.
14 January 2020 19:16
Nice place, food above average, but extremely over priced and portions leave you still hungry. Service is quite slow with errors in our order. Nice location
14 January 2020 18:00
Awesome place to enjoy your mornings. Be it breakfast or lunch. Great views. We were a big group of 20 people and it was such a blast. Service was spot on. Food was awesome. Loved their deserts as well.
21 December 2019 2:37
Excelent services, fantastic beautiful courteous staff sophisticated menue, delicious foods and great ambiance.
11 December 2019 9:41
The place is amazing ambiance wise, food is great but I would like to definitely like to highlight the remarkable service that was given by Mr. Miguel. Thank you so much for making my evening so beautiful, memorable and you truly made me feel special. The food is always extremely fresh and tasty and the staff are a credit to the place in terms of attentiveness and attitude. So thank you so much you truly deserve the best! Thank you again Miguel.

Had an amazing experience for birthday dinner at Carine. Food is superb and the team made sure we'll have a fantastic evening. Special thanks for Chef Izu for the surprises and an even wonderful surprise all the team singing a happy birthday song with delicious cheesecake! Seven star overall experience!
14 November 2019 12:31
Table service was very poor. Ambience noisy with music too loud. Menu has a good selection and dishes we ordered were tasty and well presented. It is let down by poor service and attention to detail. Can give it only 3 stars when compared to similar priced restaurants.
04 November 2019 21:14
Simply stunning! Food was really delicious and the service very professional.
I can only recommend this place. Will surely come back!
31 October 2019 10:42
Absolutely terrible. So excited to try this restaurant and was sorely disappointed. Table of four, Two of us had to send our starter and main course back. Asked to speak to the chef repeatedly but was told he was too busy. Badly organized and undertrained staff. The prices you are charging, the least you could do was train your staff. Left here hungry and disappointed. There are so many better restaurants to try in this city.
05 September 2019 2:27
One of my Favourite restaurants in Dubai! Very similar to LPM & some dishes even better! Very friendly and professional staff. Lovely ambiance. Highly recommended.
27 August 2019 2:10
Stupidly expensive! I've never seen anyone charge Aed620 for chicken. The food was underwhelming and the service was average. I've had a lunch there and only went to dinner there because a friend invited me. I won't be back and I doubt any of the 9 people, with me, will be either.
24 August 2019 4:37
We went to celebrate special birthday yesterday and the chef took it to another level! The food, service and efforts of all the staff were phenomenal. Big big thank you to the team and special thank you to Adney for making our evening exceptionally memorable. One of the best restaurants in dubai!
10 August 2019 1:43
Good food but super disappointed with the espresso cup size.pretty sure they can afford to get some proper espresso cups
27 April 2019 16:34
Beautiful setting, amidst the golf course. Great outside area to relax over lunch. Great food and friendly service.
