Pierre’s TT introduces a refined à la carte menu inspired by seasonal ingredients, while CHOIX TT introduces a new collection of handcrafted celebration cakes with Parisian flair
Dubai, UAE, 22 May 2025: InterContinental Dubai Festival City’s celebrated French dining venues, Pierre’s TT and CHOIX TT, welcome the summer season with exquisite new offerings that reflect the signature creativity of three Michelin-starred Chef Pierre Gagnaire. The latest updates include a thoughtfully reimagined à la carte menu at Pierre’s TT and a vibrant collection of artisanal celebration cakes at CHOIX TT, both designed to offer a refined and memorable experience rooted in French culinary tradition.
“These exquisite new creations pay homage to Chef Pierre Gagnaire’s culinary artistry, where timeless French tradition meets bold innovation,” said Mathieu Balbino, Chef de Cuisine, Pierre’s TT and CHOIX TT. “At Pierre’s TT, every dish is a carefully composed masterpiece — rooted in classical technique yet reimagined through refined seasonal pairings and elegant presentation. Over at CHOIX TT, our latest collection of artisanal celebration cakes ushers in a new era of Parisian sophistication — indulgent, impeccably crafted, and designed to elevate life’s most cherished moments.”
At Pierre’s TT, the summer menu offers a sophisticated interpretation of modern French dining, with vibrant seasonal flavours and elevated plating. Starters include raw-cut langoustines glazed in red beet syrup, paired with Cremona mustard and heart of palm, and sautéed squid rings with herbs, button mushrooms, and black garlic. Signature mains include the Jodhpur-style monkfish fricassée served with orange blossom sorbet and confit salsify, and the roasted turbot fillet with Terre de Sienne butter, artichoke, and salad shoots, finished with a coconut milk velouté. For pasta enthusiasts, the Melanosporum black truffle spaghetti delivers deep, aromatic richness.
Desserts at Pierre’s TT continue the restaurant’s tradition of creativity and flair. Highlights include the Pierre’s TT Millefeuille with rustic puff pastry, diplomat cream, caramelized mendiants, and lemongrass jelly, and a new trio of patisserie-inspired plates such as the souffléed biscuit with Guanaja ganache, Sicilian pistachio parfait, and macaronade drizzled with coffee syrup and caramelized pear.
At CHOIX TT, the patisserie introduces a newly curated cake selection for the summer—a refined expression of French celebration cakes made to order. Guests can enjoy the Charlotte aux Fruits Rouges, a light mousse topped with red berries; the Tropézienne, a brioche delight filled with luscious cream; and the classic Opéra Cake, featuring layers of coffee-soaked almond sponge, buttercream, and dark chocolate ganache. Each creation highlights the textures, flavors, and elegance of timeless French craftsmanship, with a contemporary twist.
Located within InterContinental Dubai Festival City, both venues bring forward the sophistication and warmth of French gastronomy—delivering unique, multisensory experiences to both connoisseurs and casual diners alike.
