Artisan Restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria in Dubai is a stunning Italian dining experience that embodies luxury. From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the elegant atmosphere and impeccable service. The food was simply fantastic — I started with the tuna tartare, which was fresh and flavorful, and the ribeye steak was a standout, cooked to perfection and undoubtedly one of the best I’ve had. The ambiance was elevated by live music, featuring a talented lady singing and playing the piano, adding a refined touch to the evening. While it’s a bit on the pricey side, it’s understandable given the fine dining quality and prime location in Dubai. Artisan is definitely a place for a special night out, combining excellent food, service, and a sophisticated atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Excellent cuisine, we went for a quick business lunch but we were very satisfied. All the dishes were prepared with care and detail. Excellent service, professional and with careful attention to the customer.
Excellent food and service. Peaceful restaurant away from Dubnai bustle. We visited a couple of times for Lunch and Dinner. Both times we really enjoyed excellent pizza and pasta.
Although the restaurant is very pricey we keep returning for their amazing, authentic pizzas which are very close to the original Neapolitan style. Very few places in Dubai can match their pizzas' quality. They import their ingredients and the dough preparation includes 72 hour marination process. The service is great (thank you Nuriddin!). Love the "Old World" modern decor.
