What to Eat at La Serre Dubai 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 La Serre Dubai, 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.

Truffle orzo Net −1
“Food is tasty but I have to admit the truffle orzo was a bit bland for me but I'm pretty sure it's a taste that's is acceptable to French cuisine fanatics 😉 ambiance is also fantastic as we had it at an Al fresco setting and service was good too from the front desk to the waiters and waitresses, 😊”

The Bottom Line
La Serre is a French restaurant in Al Wasl’s City Walk, suited to anything from a pastry-led breakfast to a polished dinner. You can start with fresh croissants, choose French-style mains or truffle pasta, and finish with profiteroles or chocolate mousse. The boulangerie is one of the clearest reasons to stop by earlier in the day.
The room is elegant without feeling overly formal, while the outdoor terrace adds a more relaxed option. Reviews describe it as comfortable for people-watching, intimate dinners, brunches, business lunches, and social evenings. Some nights bring live performances or DJ music, so it is worth checking the evening setup if you want a quieter meal.
Service is a consistent strength: diners describe the team as attentive, professional, friendly, and useful with recommendations. The food is generally praised for fresh flavours and careful presentation, though one reviewer found the truffle orzo a little bland. Portions also received a specific nod for generosity.
For lunch, a review reported two courses for AED 130 per person or three courses for AED 150. The terrace is most appealing when Dubai’s weather is pleasant, while dessert is worth planning for rather than treating as an afterthought.
