Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Try éclairs. Order the small éclairs with a latte so you can sample several flavours rather than committing to one.

Consider lunch. Check the business lunch menu if you want a lower-priced set option; one review listed it at 55 AED.

The Bottom Line

Trouvaille is a French-Lebanese restaurant and coffee shop in Al Jaddaf, suited to everything from breakfast and pastries to a relaxed dinner. Reviews point to the French toast with berries and cream, Provencal shrimp fatteh, mushroom risotto and éclairs as particularly worthwhile orders. There is also a well-regarded gluten-free manakish option, especially the spicy keshk version.

The setting is a major part of the appeal. Customers describe a calm, cozy interior with a relaxed atmosphere, and several say it works well for families, gatherings or waiting nearby. Service is another consistent strength, with staff described as welcoming, attentive and helpful without being intrusive.

Street parking has been reported as plentiful, and one review said parking was very close. Prices are not uniformly viewed the same way. A business lunch menu was listed at 55 AED, while an Iftar set with soup, salad, two mezze, a main, dessert and juice was reported at 99 AED.

Some diners felt desserts were expensive. A few quality notes are worth keeping in mind: one guest found the cordon bleu tasted previously frozen, another reported dirty couches and no AC on a hot visit, and an egg Benedict ordered medium arrived slightly overcooked.
