The Bottom Line

RSVP is a modern French restaurant in Al Wasl with an elegant interior, terrace and a menu that mixes French favourites with creative touches. It suits a celebratory dinner or a meal with friends, but breakfast is also a strong reason to come: reviews highlight the truffle omelette, eggs Benedict, French toast and flaky pastries. For dinner, escargot, truffle pizza, calamari and beef tartare are the most useful starting points.

The escargot has won over first-timers, while the truffle pizza is praised by several diners, though one reviewer found it below expectations. Lemon chicken, mushroom pasta and arrabbiata rigatoni also draw repeat praise; note that the arrabbiata is spicy. Desserts are worth leaving room for, especially the tiramisu, which one table found large enough to share.

Service is usually described as warm, attentive and professional, and the polished setting works well for special occasions. A Polaroid photo at the end of one celebration was a particularly thoughtful touch. The main practical drawback is parking, which can become difficult when busy and may involve paid parking or valet.

Prices are on the high side for some diners, so check the bill and budget accordingly. Breakfast service has also been slow on at least one visit, while individual dishes have occasionally arrived undercooked, overcooked or salty.
