The MAINE Land Brasserie, Business Bay Dubai

The Maine occupies that rarest of spaces in Dubai: casual brasserie-style dining complete with charred veal chops, freshly shucked oysters and short rib croquettes laced with jalapeños. A New England accent to the menu meets high glamour complete with church-like soaring windows and plunging chandeliers. Chilled champagne and a dedicated vegan menu. The Maine also sources many ingredients from local UAE farms. A restaurant that covers most of the bases from corporate lunches to special dinners with friends. There are two other restaurants in Dubai but this is the one you want.
