What to Eat at TEMPORARY CLOSED 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 TEMPORARY CLOSED, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. 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.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Status. Check that Flambé has reopened before heading to Mall of the Emirates, as the listing is marked TEMPORARY CLOSED.
Ask For View. Request a table facing Ski Dubai; the window view is a major part of the experience and lets you watch skiers during your meal.
Use Entertainer. Check Entertainer before ordering: reviews mention the discount as a cost-efficient option.
Allow Navigation. Allow extra time to locate the venue because one diner found it tucked away at the end of the mall.
Choose Matches. For a livelier visit, go when a sports fixture is showing; the venue has large screens and a sports-bar atmosphere.
Use Mall Parking. Parking is available within the mall, which makes the restaurant practical to combine with a Mall of the Emirates visit.

Common Concerns
Temporary Closure
The business listing currently says TEMPORARY CLOSED, so availability should be confirmed before making plans.
Uneven Value
Steaks were considered good but small and not exceptional enough for their premium price; one diner felt the lasagna portion was small.
Weak Mocktails
One review found the mocktails watery and poor value for their price.
Greasy Mains
A pizza and chicken scallops were reported as greasy, with dry overcooked chicken and a noticeable used-oil smell.
Service Gaps
A first-time diner reported no welcome or recommendations, while another felt the staff needed more training.

The Bottom Line
Flambé is a spacious restaurant and lounge in Mall of the Emirates, Al Barsha, built around a clear view of Ski Dubai. Reviews describe it as a place to eat, have drinks and watch skiers through the windows, with large screens adding a sports-bar angle. It is currently marked TEMPORARY CLOSED, so confirm its status before going.
Food feedback is generally positive but not perfectly consistent. The signature burger, baked salmon with spinach risotto, lasagna, ravioli and truffle croquettes stuffed with rice all received praise. Portions can be generous—the starter platter was enough for two—but value varies: one diner found the steaks small for their price, while another felt the lasagna portion did not justify its cost.
A separate visit reported greasy mains, dry chicken and barely detectable truffle flavour. The cozy pub-and-lounge setting suits a relaxed lunch, casual dinner or match night, and reviews mention alcohol, a smoking area and child-friendly seating. It can be hard to find at the mall’s far end, although parking is in the mall.
Entertainer discounts are also mentioned, making that worth checking if the venue reopens.
