Chef Cyril Lignac's French-Japanese dining room on the 51st floor of ICD Brookfield Place, DIFC.
Bar des Pres is a French-Japanese restaurant from chef Cyril Lignac on the 51st floor of ICD Brookfield Place in DIFC. It is the Dubai outpost of a concept Lignac built in Paris, and the menu describes itself as a marriage of French technique and Japanese ingredients, not a straight sushi room or a straight bistro.
The restaurant sits high in the DIFC tower, one of several dining rooms Lignac has opened in this format across different cities, with a bar and a dining floor built for both a business lunch crowd and a later dinner scene. Reservations are for the full sit-down menu; the room is not set up for a drinks-only visit.
The raw bar and tartare section carries yellowtail tartare with green jalapeno cream and avocado, tuna tartare with Korean spices, and a Japanese wagyu tartare with chimichurri and fried onions, alongside a king crab preparation finished with Oscietra caviar. The sushi and sashimi counter runs from salmon and yellowtail through chutoro and otoro, and the cooked side includes a flamed Australian wagyu carpaccio with ponzu and daikon and a wagyu sando finished with furikake. The bar runs its own cocktail list built around sake, yuzu and umeboshi.
Lunch runs from noon to 3 PM and dinner from 6:30 PM to 1 AM, seven days a week, with the last seating at 11 PM most nights. Tables open up to 60 days ahead, worth taking for weekend dinner given the DIFC crowd it draws.
Address: 51st Floor, ICD Brookfield Place, DIFC, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Dubai
