Looks like your weekend dining plans just got easier. CQ French Brasserie is opening its second Dubai location this week, this time in Barsha Heights, bringing its laid-back Parisian bistro vibe to a new part of the city.
The restaurant officially opens its doors on Thursday, January 15, with full-day service starting Thursday, January 22. Whether you’re planning a casual lunch, a date night, or a catch-up dinner with friends, it’s an easy option to keep in mind.
If you’ve ever been to the original CQ in JLT, you’ll know what to expect: comforting French classics, an easygoing atmosphere, and food that keeps people coming back for years. The new branch stays true to that formula, with an open kitchen, private dining spaces, and a terrace.
The menu here is all French classics: escargots, raclette burger, and that signature steak frites that regulars keep coming back for. You’ll also find duck confit, oysters, beef tartare, and mussels cooked in white wine with shallot butter sauce.
Save room for dessert, too! This is the kind of place where skipping sweets would be a mistake. And since it’s January, there’s one seasonal classic you shouldn’t miss: Galette des Rois, a French tradition that makes this time of year extra special.
The city’s dining scene is heating up this winter, it’s safe to say Dubai diners are spoiled for choice right now. TakaHisa has just opened in Downtown Dubai, pairing their iconic Japanese food with standout skyline views. Over in DIFC, Gloria Osteria is now welcoming guests, bringing its iconic Italian comfort dishes and lively trattoria energy to the district.
In short, it’s a good time to be hungry in Dubai! Stay tuned for more news and announcements!
