Carine by Chef Izu Introduces a New Chapter in Social Dining

Carine, the acclaimed French-Mediterranean restaurant by celebrated Dubai-based Chef Izu Ani, has unveiled a brand-new bar menu,  blending his signature elegance with the laid-back spontaneity of social dining.

Designed for those who love to linger, share, and savour, the new menu offers a curated selection of comforting classics and inventive small plates, all served in carine’s effortlessly chic setting at Emirates Golf Club. Whether guests are gathering for post-work drinks, sundowners with friends, or pre-dinner bites, the menu transforms the bar into a destination in its own right, one where warm hospitality meets bold, seasonal flavours.

The bar menu balances refinement and approachability, with dishes that invite conversation and connection. Signature highlights include the delicate Truffle Tart (Tarte fine à la truffe) and Salmon Tartare with Mandarin Dressing, sitting alongside craveable plates such as Spicy Calamari, Zucchini and Seafood Croquettes, and a fresh twist on the Panzanella Salad with Baked Goat Cheese.

More substantial options like the Marinated Baby Chicken (Coquelet mariné) and Paccheri with Bolognese Sauce deliver on hearty comfort, while crispy French Fries and the bright Passion Fruit Cheesecake round out the experience with a satisfying finish.

Rooted in Chef Izu’s ingredient-first philosophy, each dish reflects carine’s unwavering commitment to seasonality, simplicity, and soul, with allergen guidance thoughtfully included for guest ease.

Set against the sun-dappled views of the Emirates Golf Club, carine has long been a favourite for its welcoming charm and timeless cuisine. Now, with the launch of its new bar menu, the restaurant invites guests to experience a more spontaneous side of dining, one where there’s no need for a formal plan, just good company, great food, and the unmistakable carine atmosphere.

With the launch of its new bar menu, carine continues to redefine everyday dining, inviting guests to linger over drinks, share thoughtfully crafted plates, and enjoy a seamless blend of casual elegance and culinary excellence.
