“The highlight of my meal was without a doubt the poached egg paired with avocado and salmon. The eggs were cooked to perfection—soft and velvety on the inside—resting on a fresh bed of avocado that was creamy, ripe, and full of flavor. The salmon added just the right touch of smokiness and richness, creating a balanced and wholesome dish that felt both healthy and indulgent at the same time.”

Plan parking. Allow extra time for parking, particularly at busy periods; paid parking or valet may be needed.
Share dessert. The tiramisu portion was large enough for two, and another reviewer also recommended sharing the chouquettes and tiramisu.
Try breakfast. For a morning visit, consider the truffle omelette, eggs Benedict or French toast on the terrace.
Check custom orders. If you need an ingredient omitted, confirm it when ordering: one avocado toast requested without grapefruit still arrived with it.
Mind spice. The arrabbiata rigatoni is well liked but explicitly described as spicy, so ask before ordering if you prefer milder pasta.
Expect a splurge. Budget for a higher-priced meal: one diner reported 450 dirhams for two dishes and still water.
Plan the visit
| Mon | 9:00 AM – 1:00 AM |
| Tue | 9:00 AM – 1:00 AM |
| Wed | 9:00 AM – 1:00 AM |

Parking can be difficult when busy; one diner reported using valet parking for 70 dirhams, while another found no parking available.
Some diners consider the pricing high for a non-hotel restaurant, especially when ordering only a few dishes.
One breakfast visit involved slow service and difficulty getting the waiter's attention.
A few dishes missed the mark: one steak arrived medium well instead of rare, and potato gratin was undercooked.
One reviewer found the mushroom and pink pastas slightly undercooked, while another found a pasta dish too salty.
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.
