Fodor's Expert Review Cave

Pronounced the French way, "cahve," this sleek venue takes its name from the wine cellars of France. The wine list often has more than 35 offers by the glass, and there is also an excellent selection of ports, sherries, and cognacs, perfect for vinofiles. The interior is modern bordello in style, with bedlike sofas and romantic nooks bathed in ambient green light. Rare for Dubai, the pork selection is excellent—there is always jamon Iberico being carved on the counter, along with other excellent charcuterie.
