CHOIX new seasonal menu at Festival City

CHOIX Patisserie and Restaurant at InterContinental Dubai Festival City has a new seasonal menu on from 14 September. tbreak reported the story on 12 September. French-inspired plates under the culinary direction of Chef Pierre Gagnaire, with Chef Mathieu Balbino leading the kitchen on Dubai Creek, are live today. This is not a distant soft tease. Buyers who need a Festival City table for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, or an early dinner have named dishes and a room that is already trading. Sellers who cook French pastry and savoury plates have a kitchen with a clear seasonal brief.

The room on Dubai Creek

CHOIX sits on the lobby level of InterContinental Dubai Festival City, overlooking Dubai Creek. The venue site lists daily doors from 7am to 9pm. Same address. Different moods across the day. Morning coffee and viennoiserie. A business lunch. Parisian afternoon tea. An unhurried early dinner before the mall and the creek quieten. That clock matters for buyers writing a brief. You are not guessing whether the room does breakfast or only late dinner. You can name the hotel, the creek view, and the hour you need. The food centre is French, shaped by three-Michelin-starred Chef Pierre Gagnaire. Patisserie sits beside the restaurant plates. Celebration cakes stay on the board for gatherings. The cake of the month named in the press release is a Mirabelle tart with buttery pastry and Mirabelle plum.

Plates with a name

tbreak and the mid-east.info press write-up flag the same seasonal additions. Artichoke salad with pine nuts. Grilled eggplant with salted anchovy and redcurrants. Cumin lentil veloute. Marinated Omani shrimp spaghetti. Lamb chop with roasted ricotta, star anise, blistered tomatoes and basil, served with mild curry pilaf rice. A French baguette with Comte, gherkins, mustard onions and spinach leaves closes the savoury list. That list matters for buyers. You can name the room and the plate. You are not booking a vague French line on a pitch deck. Sellers on the pass know what the seasonal brief asks for. Fire, timing, and finish on named dishes, not a menu that changes every hour without a story. Thomas Schmelter, Area General Manager for IHG Hotels at Dubai Festival City, told the press the new selection stays true to Chef Pierre Gagnaire while Chef Mathieu Balbino and the team welcome guests from 14 September. That is a clear operator line. Named kitchen. Named date. Named hotel group behind the room.

From croissant to cake

CHOIX is built for the full day, not one service. Breakfast and business lunch sit beside afternoon tea and dinner. The venue site keeps Parisian afternoon tea, business breakfast, and business lunch on the offers board. Celebration cakes remain for birthdays, soft corporate tables, and the gatherings that need a pastry story, not only a main course. Same creek. Same lobby. Different reasons to walk in. That is useful when a buyer brief shifts from a morning catch-up to a tea with clients to a quiet early dinner without leaving Festival City.

What this means for Kattegat buyers and sellers

Buyers, this is a story you can book today. Dubai Festival City. InterContinental Dubai Festival City. CHOIX on the lobby level, overlooking Dubai Creek. A seasonal menu with named plates from 14 September. When the brief is French pastry, a Creek view, or an all-day table off the usual Marina and Palm loop, you now have doors that are open and dishes with names. Sellers, read the kitchen. Seasonal savoury plates. Patisserie. Afternoon tea. Celebration cakes. A room that runs from seven in the morning to nine at night. If your story is French pastry, a pass that holds lunch and dinner, or floor work in a lobby restaurant with a creek view, this is the market moving at Festival City. Kattegat sits in the middle. Venues need people who show up. Talent needs rooms that book. Planners need one place where both sides tell the story straight, not forty WhatsApp threads named final. We did not invent Dubai hospitality. We turned the trade we already live into a system buyers and sellers can run from the pocket. Rooms like this on Dubai Creek are why the marketplace exists.

Book the creek table, book the kitchen

If you are locking a Festival City breakfast, a seasonal French dinner, or pastry talent for a room that already has the creek outside the glass, start with the room and the plate story, not capacity alone. Browse venues and F&B talent on Kattegat. https://kattegat.app/
