Fouquet's Abu Dhabi is throwing a huge celebration for Bastille Day
Say bonjour to the most elegant brunch of the summer – Fouquet's Abu Dhabi is celebrating Bastille Day with a lavish French affair under the iconic dome of the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
For the first time ever, the Parisian fine-dining institution is marking France's national day with a Bastille Day brunch on Saturday July 12 and trust us – it's set to be très magnifique.
Expect red velvet interiors, crystal chandeliers, flowing champagne and a four-course menu packed with Fouquet's favourites. You can expect Burgundy snails, foie gras terrine with fig chutney and melt-in-the-mouth Wagyu carpaccio to kick things off. We're salivating.
Main courses come in a sharing-style – perfect for some friendly Francophile bonding – with dishes like grilled rib-eye steak with coin de rue fries and morel mushroom vol-au-vent stealing the spotlight.
Naturally, there's an extravagant cheese board (bien sûr) and desserts that double as edible art: vanilla mille-feuille, raspberry-lychee macarons and crêpe suzette flambéed with Grand Marnier.
It's all washed down with premium French grape, apple hops, house bubbly and classic mixed drinks, plus themed décor and live entertainment to set the mood.
Whether you're French, fancying France, or just here for the cheese, this is one brunch you won't want to miss.
Dhs299 (soft drinks), Dhs399 (grape and apple hops), Dhs499 (premium bubbly & mixed drinks). Sat Jul 12, 1pm to 4pm. Fouquet's Abu Dhabi, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Island. contact-fouquets-abudhabi@ (02 205 4200).
