Dubai’s dining scene has just expanded with the arrival of Duck & Waffle, an iconic restaurant from London. Known for its innovative take on comfort food and creative cocktails, the restaurant officially opened in the heart of Dubai’s DIFC district. This marks the brand’s first location in the UAE, promising an exciting new dining experience for both locals and tourists alike.
A Unique Venue in DIFC
Unlike the towering buildings that make Duck & Waffle famous in London, the Dubai location has taken a more spacious and elegant approach. The 10,000-square-foot restaurant is set against the stunning backdrop of the Burj Khalifa, offering a modern, inviting design that combines comfort with sophistication. The venue features a central radiant dome and a perforated metal tree surrounded by greenery, providing a unique and calming atmosphere.
From Noon to late-night dining
Duck & Waffle Dubai will initially operate from noon until 1 a.m., with the option for last table bookings at 11 p.m. However, the restaurant has plans to expand its hours to 24/7 in early 2025. This makes it a perfect spot for any time of day or night, whether you’re looking for a leisurely breakfast, a quick lunch, or a late-night meal.
A Flavorful Menu with British-American Flair
The restaurant’s menu is inspired by a mix of British and American comfort food but with a modern twist. At the heart of the menu is the signature Duck & Waffle dish—crispy duck leg confit, fried duck egg, and mustard maple syrup. Other exciting dishes include foie gras crème brûlée, a spicy ox cheek doughnut, and a whole roasted chicken served with wild mushrooms and truffle-infused ratte potatoes. For those craving waffles, the “Full Elvis” waffle featuring peanut butter, banana, and bacon is a must-try.
A Chef’s Bar and Signature Cocktails
One of the standout features of Duck & Waffle Dubai is its 360-degree chef’s bar. This space will allow guests to enjoy cocktails while watching skilled bartenders craft signature drinks. The restaurant offers a wide variety of beverages, perfectly paired with the menu’s bold and innovative dishes.
The Expertise Behind the Kitchen
Chef Jeremy Besson leads the kitchen at Duck & Waffle Dubai. With a rich culinary background working with Michelin-starred chefs, Besson brings both expertise and creativity to the menu. His vision for Duck & Waffle Dubai is to stay true to the playful and inventive spirit of the brand, while adding unique touches, such as a robata grill.
Ideal for Every Occasion
Duck & Waffle Dubai is more than just a place to eat; it’s an experience. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal with friends, a business lunch, or a special celebration, the restaurant caters to every occasion. The combination of exquisite food, craft cocktails, and a modern ambiance makes it a perfect spot for both day and night.
