There’s nothing like walking into a place where you feel immediately welcome. The Eloquent Elephant is an excellent British gastropub located in the TAJ Dubai Hotel, an extraordinary spot in the city center. The international menu is full of incredible dishes – comfort food in an elegant, relaxed atmosphere.
The Eloquent Elephant provides a welcoming atmosphere and when we enter we almost forget that we are in the city center. The decor is elegant and wisely relaxed, with a huge wall of lamps that illuminate the room with a special glow. We can choose to have a table inside or on the outside terrace and feel the intense vibe of Dubai. Whatever our option, we are guaranteed to have a good gastronomic experience and attentive service.
The menu serves classic British dishes with international touches, rich in creativity and tempting proposals (where there is also room for vegetarian and vegan options). Here the snacks shine, and an extensive bar menu with a notable variety of craft beers served fresh, as well as signature cocktails and whiskeys. Highlights include the Shrimp Tempura with wasabi, Sampler of British and English snacks, Salmon Tartar or the famous Elephant Curry, a dive into intense flavors and great for sharing. To end on a sweet note, the typically British Sticky toffee pudding, a delight that satisfies from start to finish.
At night, when the city lights come on, the outdoor terrace takes on a new life, you can feel the city’s movement and it is even possible to take a look at the view of the Burj Khalifa. It’s no wonder that this is a popular place in the Business Bay Dubai area, ideal for a group of friends, an afternoon of football or simply for a meeting at the table with the whole family, as was our case. I promised a future visit!
