Carine – Emirates Golf Club

Here is another restaurant CARINE launched by Chef Izu Ani, This time the restaurant is dedicated to his wife. The new restaurant is located at one of the oldest Golf club in Dubai. French Mediterranean inspired dishes are sourced from the freshest ingredients possible and you can be guaranteed to be enjoy a unique flavor which is a special from Chef Izu.

You can opt to sit inside or outside the restaurant. At this climate, it’s wonderful to be eating from the balcony of this restaurant with views of the lush green Golf Course. The only troublesome part eating in open air has been the troubling flies in the area. Dining inside the restaurant is also nice which has a homely touch. 

You can’t say no to their lovely breads that are served complimentary when you order their mains. Dip them in olive oil which is exclusively imported from Chef Izu’s farm and balsamic, and you are going to love it. There was nothing outstanding about Carine’s colorful mocktails. 

The appetizers were just wonderful. The Apple Green Bean salad was refreshing in the mouth.

I’ve never been so much in love with water melons like the one here at Carine. They were so red and sweet, feta cheese was a great match to the Water Melon.

The Grilled Harissa prawns was attractive on it’s plate and would appreciate it for it’s freshness. 

The roasted filet of seabass in tomato sauce was yummy. It had a nice flavor to it and the sumac rice was so good that I could even eat it alone. 

The Rigatoni was just fantastic. Firstly we loved the size of the pasta, and the minced beef in it was a sheer joy. The grilled Veal Strip Loin marinated in yoghurt was nicely done, juicy and they come precut so you just have to pick each of them and dip in the Basel pesto sauce provided on the side. Actually the yoghurt marination on the Veal makes it light in taste unless you dip in the sauce.
