Nestled at the foot of the Park Hyatt Dubai Lagoon is a whimsical venue named Twiggy by La Cantine, a stunning indoor beach club and restaurant—and if you’re on the hunt for Dubai’s best views, add this to your must-visit list.
The team behind culinary hotspots such as La Cantine du Faubourg, Ninive and Lana Lusa have collaborated with the Park Hyatt Team for this project to bring the riviera reverie experience to Dubai.
The unique venue is a bit like the 1960s model of the same name—thin as a string bean (41 kilos at 16 years old), dubbed by the Queen in 2018 to become Lady Twiggy Lawson—making the namesake a perfect fit.
Your eyes, of course, will often be drifting out the windows, as the indoor lunch and dining experiences offer views of both the Dubai Downtown skyline as well as the lagoon views, which are seriously breath-taking.
It’s a view like any other, with a view of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai which can be seen through the Dubai Frame, coupled with the heritage sights of Deira and Dubai Creek, bridging the wonders of the past, present, and future.
Eating at Twiggy is like completing an unfinished sentence; once again, there’s no competing with the view, the epitome of eloquence.
The chef knows, however, that he must meet it halfway, advancing delicately, whetting appetites. A task, in this sun-drenched venue, that requires artful insight, refreshing, lively touches.
The spirit of the menu swings between Ibiza and Saint-Tropez, Cassis and Formentera via Okinawa. Think tuna otoro, scallop and yellowfin tuna sashimi for one round, with beluga caviar served with blinis, crème fraiche and a selection of condiments for the next. Follow that perhaps with lobster ravioli with Sicilian lemon, or an unforgettable Seafood casserole with seabass, shrimp and clams. It’s a selection that embodies the ambiance.
While eating, guests can watch as the sunlight or moonlight washes over the calming waves while the music selection provides the ideal soundtrack.
Channelling the spirit of the South of France, you can feel the soft white sand beneath your feet as you make your way from the beach to their 100 metre infinity pool that looks over Dubai Creek.
Decidedly rare, Twiggy by La Cantine is the definitive way to experience Dubai.
