Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach recently picked up the Global Award for Best Restaurant in the European Cuisine category at the World Luxury Restaurant Awards held in Pontresina, Switzerland.

Based on consumer votes, the World Luxury Restaurant Awards highlight the best in the business on a national, continental and global level. Before properties can even qualify as nominee to receive votes, they must provide an exceptional quality of food to a haute cuisine standard, excellent interior design and outstanding service reviews from diners.

“We are truly delighted to have been recognised as the best luxury restaurant in the world serving European and Mediterranean cuisine at our innovative dining experience in Plantation Restaurant & Terrace. The accolade is a testament to the entire team and their combined efforts to provide exceptional food and service in beautiful surroundings which are enhanced by varied art exhibitions,” said Antoine M. Lhuguenot, general manager of Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach.

“We would also like to take the opportunity to thank the renowned international and local artists who have worked with us and supported us for more than a year – they are of course an integral part of our success.”

The Art & Dine concept at Plantation Restaurant & Terrace offers guests a delicious range of European and Mediterranean dishes, cooked and served in traditional cast iron pots known in France as ‘Cassolette’ or ‘Cocotte’, that often remind guests of the taste of slow cooked meals at home. The restaurant provides a stunning backdrop to many prestigious art exhibitions throughout the year, from local and international artists, and is currently showing “Shadows of Ramadan” until the end of August.
