Following months of mystery behind the hoardings, The Guild Dubai restaurant has opened enabling people to jump through the doors at ICD Brookfield Place DIFC. Also known as the brainchild of Tom Arnel (of Tom & Serg fame and Common Grounds stardom), The Guild is not simply a restaurant; it is a giant dining venture covering 20,000 square feet. Thought-out to describe antique grandeur with the contemporary touch to it, it can be called simply one of the most ambitious culinary projects in Dubai so far. Here is the Guild Dubai restaurant review:
A House Environmentally Segmented
The Guild is a show that has its own décor and menu in every section.
The Nurseries & Potting Shed
Enter into an urban oasis and a greenhouse of more than 300 plants and natural light. With an interior your best bet Tribeca-meets-Soho-style, it is a great place to go to eat breakfast together, have a casual coffee or to meet in the early evening with a drink. The red velvet curtains have a theatrical touch, whereas the cocktails and the all-day snacks are very suitable to the artistic citizens of DIFC.
The Rockpool
The scene here is seafood. Visitors will surround a live rock pool with fresh oysters, lobster, crab among others. It has a raw bar and dazzling ice sculptures, so The Rockpool is really indulgent and immersive, but an ideal destination for people who love seafood enough to want it fresh and dramatic.
The Salon
This is the core of The Guild–a vast dining room festooned with chandeliers, marble and an open kitchen. The culinary endeavor is headed by Chef Paul Gajewski, whose fire-induced menu table offers anything including prime steaks and wood-fired chicken as well as bone marrow and garlic snails. It is designed to share, rejoice and feast.
An Aviary (Coming Soon)
The Aviary, which is still in wrappings, is expected to be a late night hangout featuring piano bar, DJs, rich furnishing and cigar and whiskey lounge. This last act should take the form of complementing the Guild full-circle concept of dining and entertainment.
24 Hour Food Highlights
The Guild does not only offer dinner. Coffees are here in abundance, pastries are creamed, and breakfast is extravagant (eggs en cocotte, chocolate porridge, etc.). During lunchtime, you have fancy eats: club sandwiches, pasta, and special burgers.
Dinner is all about show stoppers, oysters, table-side-prepared beef tartare, grilled langoustines, lobster mac and cheese and meats roasted with fire. Leave no room to miss such desserts as the memorable Campfire Cheesecake.
The Weekly Experience
Weekend eating is also hit by the Guild. The long, relaxed Saturday lunch uses a New York meets London energy with a high social spark. On Sundays it has a traditional three course roast, with beautiful Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes.
Ambience and Atmosphere
The Guild is intimate in spite of its size. The presence of plant-covered atrium, the warm lights, and plying canteen spaces allure harmony to balance between the pomp and comfort. It smoothly switches between being an airy neighborhood place by day to a sophisticated buzzing dinner-spot- perfect either for a date or a group restaurant.
Final Thoughts
The Guild is not simply another trendy Dubai place to go out but a well-designed, a multi sensorial environment. Whether it is poetry of botanical hideaways, seafood theatre or main hall with its elegant decor, it will have something to please someone. Be it a brunch, party or a chill cocktail session The Guild provides you with a new standard of gold in the city of Dubai dining. Also look for The Best Etihad Guest Credit Cards to Know.
