An unforgettable culinary journey
Sun setting over Ras Al Khor, glimmering lights of Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai provided a breathtaking backdrop as we gathered at The Restaurant in the Address Grand Creek Harbour. The hotel, opened six months ago, has already established itself as a remarkable destination. Excitement filled the air anticipating a truly delightful Chaîne experience.
A warm, enthusiastic welcome from the hotel’s management and staff assured us that The Restaurant had gone above and beyond to make this occasion special beginning with a lavish drinks reception featuring an array of delectable canapés. Our taste buds were taken on an extraordinary journey being treated to a specially crafted seven-course menu.
