Tips for a Better Visit

Check add-ons. Ask the price of every suggested upgrade, especially truffle shavings during Burger Night, before agreeing.

Expect a wait. Allow extra time on Burger Night: one guest waited over an hour, although the manager offered drinks as an apology.

The Bottom Line

Chez Wam is a modern French restaurant in Jumeirah where dinner comes with an open kitchen and, on selected nights, DJ or live-music energy. It suits a celebration or sociable evening more than a quiet meal. Reviews most often point diners towards the Wagyu beef tartare, fried Camembert, short ribs and gnocchi, while desserts such as the crème caramel, chocolate fondant and deconstructed lemon tart also make a strong impression.

The kitchen is adventurous, mixing French foundations with influences from elsewhere. Standout reports include Hokkaido scallops, sea bass, a foie-gras-topped burger and short ribs tender enough to break apart with a fork. That said, the food is not universally consistent: some guests found the gnocchi poor, the haddock too salty or the presentation stronger than the flavour.

Oil-heavy salads and small portions also appear in the criticism. Service is often warm and attentive, and the open kitchen adds a sense of occasion. Book carefully if counter seating is unsuitable, and ask about extras before accepting them: one Burger Night guest was charged 84aed per person for truffle shavings without a clear price explanation.

Music can be excellent for a night out, but check the volume if conversation matters.
