Customer Reviews
One of the best restaurants I like in this hotel. Very quiet, few tables, decorated and arranged like eating in your own living room with your family, a great experience, the dishes are very delicate, the two sakes are also unique and my favorite is beef rice.
Sagetsu by Tetsuya. Chef Tetsuya Wakuda, the Japanese-born chef, who embarked on his gastronomic journey in Sydney in 1982, brings his modern Japanese flair to Dubai with Sagetsu. I will not talk about the sleek design of the restaurant nor the flawless service. I will just focus on the food. Sagetsu offers chef’s tasting menus of 5, 7 and 9 courses in addition to a la cart option. Portions are generous for a tasting menu. The focus is on high quality ingredients is very evident combined with French cooking techniques and presentation. The result is a true culinary excellence. There was not a single dish that failed to impress us. The Botan Shrimp – a medley of Hokkaido sea urchin and Oscietra caviar inside an urchin shell was insanely delicious. I thought I was going to be disappointed with the dessert, I mean chocolate mousse! Yet it was exceptionally delicious and light. This was the best dining experience I had in Dubai so far. Sagetsu is raising the bar in Dubai’s fine dining scene.
And average for a (supposedly) Michelin star restaurant means not very good...We took the 5 course tasting menu for AED 850 (each). You will find this as the last option at the back of the menu. The bread roll starter was weird. The crab dish very nice. The tuna (too fatty for me but I know this is the expensive part) was topped with some raw (no taste) champignon slices?? The niku dong dish was nice but the meat too fatty for this kind of on the rice dish. The sommelier was way too pushy. Trying to convince is that the higher price option was the better choice. In general the Dubai restaurants did not get the memo about the abolishment of the 30 % tax on alcohol. We like to drink sake with our Japanese food but the sake prices in the menu are "crazy" which is a pity. The deserts belong in a French restaurant i.e. they do not match the Japanese taste.
Great fine dining experience with amazing food. Service was excellent and so elegant. Enjoyed every moment while dining. Thank you so much.
