Restaurant review: Mirabelle
At Mirabelle, it's all blue waters, anchored boats, and that effortless kind of luxury you find along the Mediterranean – just with Dubai's own twist. Set by the water at the new Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, it's the kind of place where a leisurely lunch easily flows into sunset drinks. Laid-back yet polished just right, Mirabelle almost makes you forget you're still in the city. Inspired by the Côte d'Azur, the vibe is quietly chic and relaxed – what's not to love? The vibe
Mirabelle's outdoor terrace feels like a slice of the Mediterranean by the water, with boats drifting by and a relaxed atmosphere. Inside, the vibe is warm and elegant, offering a more intimate, cosy space. Both options give you a different mood. The chef
Chef Sacha Enjalbert, a French native, brings nearly a decade of experience to Mirabelle. Having worked in renowned kitchens across France and the UAE, he's now crafting his own take on Mediterranean cuisine. Sacha's passion for timeless flavours shines through in every dish, offering something simple yet special. The food
For starters, we had the Tuna Tartare , a light dish with creamy avocado, piquillo peppers, and croutons (Dhs95), and the Escargots de Bourgogne , cooked in a signature garlic butter and herbs, which was rich and full of flavour (Dhs65 for 6 pcs). The Salmon Gravlax (Dhs90) was a perfect balance of tangy and savoury, a perfect way to start your meal.
For mains, we had the Beef Tartare (Dhs130), hand-cut tenderloin beef with homemade French fries that paired perfectly with it. The Chargrilled Lamb Chops (Dhs175), marinated with thyme and lemon, were juicy and tender, served with a creamy mashed potato. The Mediterranean Sea Bass (Dhs175) was another standout, with bouillabaisse, clams, and candied tomatoes, a truly authentic dish. The Roasted Scallops (Dhs175 for 5 pcs), served with a citrus beurre blanc and glazed winter vegetables, were delicate yet packed with flavour.
For dessert, we couldn't resist the Orange-infused Crème Brûlée (Dhs35), which was the perfect end to a great meal. Verdict
If you love seafood and the laid-back charm of the South of France, Mirabelle is the place to be. A spot that gets seafood right – and where quiet luxury speaks for itself.

Massive French wildfire contained but 'not under control'
French firefighters said on Saturday that the country's biggest wildfire in at least half a century was contained but would not be brought under control before Sunday evening. The fire near the Mediterranean coast has ravaged a vast area of the southern Aude department at the peak of the summer tourist season, killing one person and injuring several others. "The fire is contained but ... until Sunday evening the fire will not be under control," said Christophe Magny, chief of the region's firefighter unit. Authorities warned that Sunday's forecasted hot, dry winds -- similar to those when the fire began -- and a heatwave alert with temperatures around 40 degrees Celsius would keep the some 1,400 firefighters mobilised on high alert. "The firefighters will do their utmost before the return of the tramontane" this weekend, the president of the Aude departmental council, Helene Sandragne, told AFP, referring to a northerly wind that regularly blows through the area. The owner of a tourist bubble home stands amid the damage caused following wildfires in Durban-Corbieres, in the Aude department, southern France on Saturday. Photos: AFP The blaze -- the largest in at least 50 years -- tore through 16,000 hectares of vegetation, disaster officials said, revising an earlier estimate of 17,000 hectares. About 2,000 people were evacuated, though local authorities allowed them to return home on Friday evening. In Saint-Laurent-de-la-Cabrerisse, a 65-year-old woman was found dead Wednesday in her home, which was devastated by flames. Authorities said one resident suffered serious burns and four others were lightly injured, while 19 firefighters were hurt, including one with a head injury. Experts say European countries are becoming ever more vulnerable to such disasters due to intensifying summer heatwaves linked to global warming. Agence France-Presse
