What to Eat at Artisan’s Table How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Artisan’s Table, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Beef cheeks with mashed potato Net −1
“I ordered the beef cheeks with mashed potato. The mashed lacked salt, not an issue as I asked the waiter to bring me some and I could salt it to my liking. The problem was with the beef cheeks, as parts of it were warm while others were freezing cold, leading me to believe that the meat was not fresh, or was probably pre-cooked, stored in s fridge and later re-heated.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Buy bread. Add fresh sourdough to your order or take a loaf home; reviewers say it is baked daily and worth buying.
Try Thursday. Thursday diners can check the added special, which one regular described as tasty and good value.
Use nearby parking. If you are driving, look for the free public parking area about 50 metres away.
Save room. Leave space for the tiramisu; multiple diners highlighted it as one of the strongest parts of the meal.
Check the bill. Read the menu’s charges before ordering, as one reviewer was surprised by the separately listed 7% municipality tax.

Common Concerns
Cold interior
One diner found the indoor temperature uncomfortably cold and said they could not dine inside.
Workplace noise
Laptops and online calls can make the dining room feel more like a coworking space than a quiet restaurant.
Extra tax
A reviewer objected to a separately listed 7% municipality tax, which made an already expensive meal feel costlier.
Dish inconsistency
One beef-cheeks order arrived warm in some parts and freezing cold in others, although the owner later apologised.
Dim lighting
One breakfast visitor liked the interior but found it a little too dark.

The Bottom Line
Artisan’s Table is a Dubai South neighbourhood kitchen and bakery where the bread is as much a draw as the restaurant meals. You can come for breakfast, lunch or dinner, buy fresh sourdough to take home, or settle in for pizza, pasta and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. The clearest standouts in the reviews are the daily-baked sourdough, soft pizza dough, tiramisu and focaccia.
Breakfast is a strong entry point: diners mention avocado toast, Eggs Benedict, French toast, a focaccia veggie panini and carefully made hollandaise. Later in the day, the Chicken BBQ and Diavola pizzas, ravioli, octopus and beef cheeks all appear in positive reviews, while the tiramisu repeatedly gets special attention. A reported meal for four—two pizzas, two burgers, an appetiser and soft drinks—came to 376 AED.
The room is generally described as cosy, calm and welcoming, with friendly service and a small children’s play area. That said, it may not always suit a quiet dinner: one visitor found laptops and online calls everywhere, another found the interior too cold, and a parent noted that the kids’ area can be disturbing. Drivers can use the free public parking area roughly 50 metres away.
Check the menu carefully for the separately listed 7% municipality tax.
