I loved the atmosphere and the presentation of the food, service and quality are at very high standard but I found the food a bit disappointing in some of the extreme combination of flavours.

The previous views seem very mixed for this restaurant but we loved it. The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic. We both had the onion soup to start - it was very different to the classic version but delicious. I then chose the monkfish which was served in a bowl with vegetables. I had spinach on the side...

I went to this restaurant with a group of about 12 people on a business trip, where the menu had been arranged in advance. Nevertheless, the staff happily and quickly changed one of the courses for me - I'd not mentioned when asked about dietary requirements that I dislike foie gras. The dessert was sensationally presented, making it very memorable... More

Hoped to enjoy our meal in this once-great restaurant this evening, 8th March 2013. We arrived shortly after 8.10pm. After an hour and a quarter, we had had a very acceptable amuse bouche as well as a starter. After a further 45 minutes, I enquirer when we might expect our main course to arrive. The waiter disappeared, clearly embarrassed. Five... More

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the waiting staff were friendly. But I have to say we were both disappointed with the food. It was our anniversary so we were pushing the boat out. Our starters were unimpressive. But not bad, it was our mains that were disappointing. I had duck which is one of my favorites, sadly when it... More

For my brother in law's 30th birthday we took him to Bord-Eau. It was the first time I had visited a French restaurant in the UAE. I had heard many times from acquaintances that this restaurant was something special. Indeed it was. Starting with the warm welcome as soon as you walk into the premises. We were guided to our...

My husband and I went to Bord Eau and absolutely loved it. I've been to other French restaurants and this was, by far, my best experience. We ordered the blind tasting 5 course meal and we were not disappointed. From appetizers to the main course to dessert, our taste buds were delighted. I was so impressed I asked to meet... More
