The Bottom Line

Le Majlis is an all-day café, bakery and restaurant at Palm Jumeirah Mall, with a French-Emirati character and a polished but relaxed setting. You can drop in for coffee and an almond croissant, settle into a business lunch, or make a meal of dishes such as lamb majboos, kebab with rice and the Le Majlis burger. The strongest pattern in the reviews is the combination of atmosphere and desserts.

The interior is described as elegant, Middle Eastern, Art Deco-inspired and comfortable, while the date pudding, lemon meringue, citrus pastry and house-made pastries receive particularly specific praise. A glass wall also lets you watch the chefs working. The outdoor seating is a useful choice for a quiet morning coffee.

Families are well catered for, with a kids’ menu and organised children’s activities mentioned during brunch. Ramadan diners praised the Iftar set menu, especially the soups, mezze and majboos, though one review wanted larger quantities and another found some dishes average. It is a dry restaurant because it is in the mall, so expect mocktails, coffee and tea rather than alcohol.

One diner also felt some items were slightly overpriced.
