Table 9 - International Cuisine Restaurant

Table 9 - Hilton Dubai Creek, Deira, Dubai
I’m totally speechless!
Don’t know where to start! Place? Food? Service? OH MY GOODNESS!
Simply not enough words to convey how perfect this place is.

I've chosen one of the tasting menu's to try as much dishes as possible, so tasting menu consists of four smaller plates (Appetizers), one larger plate (main course) & two desserts.


 
Homemade bread & butter (so fresh & delicious)
 

Complimentary speciality

Smaller plate # 1 - lobster, coconut, mango (amazing combination)

Smaller plate # 2 - veal pastrami, carrot, yogurt (Pastrami is sooo good, the very simple thin crunchy crostini on top added texture)
 

Smaller plate # 3 - quinoa, beetroot, horseradish (Lots of textures, the beet flavor is surprisingly mild given the vibrant color of the quinoa, lovely sweetness *drools* CHEERS For the love of quinoa & beetroot)
 
Smaller plate # 4 - sole, cauliflower (the BEST sole I've ever had, cooked to perfection - NO exaggeration)

Larger plate - lamb, smoked aubergine, scratchings, tomato (the meat was unbelievably tender, everything on the plate was equally delicious)

Dessert # 1 - apricot, macadamia, custard (very light and refreshing)
 
Dessert # 2 - chocolate, hazelnut, caramel (it's mainly chocolate mousse but also consist of chocolate in different textures and forms - Highly recommended)

Oh well, and that's generosity in a bag! - a special homemade treats from the chefs
 

Finally, got the chance to meet Nick & Scott the amazing chefs of table 9
 
 
Oj Says: a contrast of flavors and textures! I urge you to book a table for what I think is currently one of the most exciting dining experiences in town.
Food Rating: 9.5/10
Overall Experience: Totally dazzled and literally can't wait to go back in a month to try their new menu!
