What to Eat at Les Gourmet 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 Les Gourmet, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Les Gourmet, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Lava cake Net −1
“Heard their food is overall but wasnt happy with the Lava Cake we ordered. It was a completely dry cake with no “Lava” inside and this felt like a average 2-3 AED cake you’d get from the grocery and it was misleading as its completely different from the photo on the menu.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. Build in extra time for service, especially if you need a quick coffee or even a glass of water.
Ask recommendations. Ask the team what they recommend before ordering; one reviewer found the staff’s dish suggestions spot on.
Bring friends. Bring friends if you want a more social visit—the board games are a practical reason to stay beyond the meal.
Check coffee. If coffee is your main reason for visiting, ask about the preparation or menu choice, as at least one customer found it below expectations.
Confirm dessert. If ordering Lava Cake, confirm what will be served, since one customer reported a dry cake with no molten centre and a menu-photo mismatch.

Common Concerns
Recent inconsistency
One long-time customer reported a significant recent drop in both food quality and portion size across lunch and breakfast.
Slow service
Service can take longer than expected; reviews mention waiting for water and roughly 10 minutes for coffee.
Uneven dishes
A reviewer found the fried calamari too oily and the risotto sauce closer to pasta sauce than seafood sauce.
Drink quality
Coffee and drinks have received mixed feedback, including watery espresso, overly sweet iced tea and bitter mint tea.
Dessert mismatch
One Lava Cake arrived dry, without a molten centre, and looked different from the menu photo.

water
“To make matters worse, the water was priced at 12 AED, which feels excessive considering the location isn’t particularly fancy, nor does it offer a special view or premium experience”Google review · August 2025

The Bottom Line
Les Gourmet is a Majan restaurant with an interesting selection of Italian and Japanese options, and reviews specifically mention sushi, risotto and spaghetti. It also works as a café stop, with customers mentioning cappuccino and a broad beverage selection. The setting is cosy, elegant and photogenic, while board games make it easy to turn a meal into a relaxed meetup or game night.
Service is a genuine strength in many visits. Reviewers repeatedly describe the staff as kind, welcoming and attentive, and one says the menu recommendations were spot on. The space is described as clean, spacious and calm, and guests also use it for studying, work and business chats.
It is described as open 24/7, which gives you flexibility for afternoon or late-night plans. Manage expectations around consistency and speed. One customer waited 10ish minutes for coffee, while another said even water took a long time.
Food feedback is largely positive but not uniform: a recent review reported smaller portions and lower quality, while another found oily calamari and a disappointing risotto. Drinks have varied too, including watery espresso, overly sweet peach iced tea and bitter mint tea. One Lava Cake arrived dry and without its molten centre.
Prices are often described as fair, but the only specific amount reported was 12 AED for a small bottle of water.
