If you love a lively night out, Dubai's Bistrot Bagatelle is for you. Don’t even think about turning up to this top French restaurant early as the vibe only increases as the night goes on.

The winner of our inaugural Best Late Night Dinner award in 2019, Bistrot Bagatelle is one of the best places to go in the city if you’re a fun-loving foodie.

It’s a cracking night out with pumping music and a lively atmosphere to go along you’re your dinner.

Expect live music, dancing, napkin swinging – the whole shebang and more. It’s not for the wallflowers of the city as this place has oomph.

But it’s not just about the party, food more than holds its own and the French classics are all done expertly.

Dishes such as Burgundy snails with beef pancetta, whole truffle roasted chicken and a lip-smacking lobster pasta dish adorn the menu.

Service is friendly and efficient (if you order the aforementioned pasta prepared to be amazing by the slick linguine-twirling skills, our white tablecloths wouldn’t last a minute) and take note of staff recommendations, they know the menu.

And don’t be put off by the thought of French food if you’re a vegan or vegetarian, Bistrot Bagatelle is on board with the culinary trends and has a menu of plant-based dishes to check out.

The décor is simple and cool with chic blues, whites and greys, plus splashes of colour thanks to all the cool and vibrant pop art on the walls.

Looking for anything but boring? Bistrot Bagatelle’s your one.
