CIPRIANI DUBAI
Since Giuseppe Cipriani founded the famed Harry’s
Bar in Venice, Italy in 1931 Cipriani has become one
of the most celebrated names on the lips of diners
around the globe. Today Cipriani has locations in many
of the great cities of the world, from London & New
York to Hong Kong & Mexico City; and of course this
year Dubai too.
Located in the DIFC, Cipriani Dubai is a celebration
of its traditional Venetian maritime heritage with large
linen curtains and brown leather chairs designed by
Florentine architect Michele Bonan. Whether you dine
outside on the terrace or the classic dining room on
the upper deck or just relax in the intimate bar on the
lower floor with a Harry’s Bar Bellini before you savour
the culinary standards such as Baked Tagliolini, Calf’s
Liver alla Veneziana, Seppioline in Tecia, Carpaccio, or
Torta Di Cioccolato, Cipriani Dubai certainly lives up to
it’s illustrious name. NB
