Dubai’s dining scene turns up the heat with the launch of Fumée, a contemporary steakhouse concept devoted to the mastery of smoke and flavour. Expanding across two sought-after locations, each restaurant reflects a different interpretation of Fumée’s hallmark sophistication and warmth. At Fairmont Dubai, Fumée Steakhouse exudes refined modernity with rustic undertones, while at Dubai Marina’s District 8, the venue offers a more artistic, coastal expression of the brand’s spirit.
Inside the Fairmont Dubai restaurant, guests are greeted by soaring ceilings, soft candlelight, and rich wooden flooring, creating an inviting and romantic setting. Plush leather seating, splashes of greenery, and eclectic artwork provide texture and intimacy, all underscored by smooth background jazz. Across the city, at District 8, Fumée’s design celebrates creativity, featuring luxurious textures, sculptural details, and golden highlights inspired by the majesty of Saint Basil’s Cathedral. With panoramic marina views, the space strikes a balance between contemporary glamour and relaxed waterfront charm.
The culinary philosophy uniting both Fumée venues centres on exceptional ingredients, precise technique, and the transformative power of smoke. The menu showcases premium cuts cooked to perfection, delivering deep, satisfying flavour. Highlights include Truffle Beef Tartare layered with truffle aioli and crispy leek, and the 8-Hour Asado Beef Ribs — slow-cooked until tender and bursting with flavour. The show-stopping Golden Ottoman, a theatrical sharing steak, embodies the restaurant’s passion for craftsmanship and indulgence. Seafood dishes such as the Lobster Linguine al Bisque add further depth, while Mediterranean and Levantine-inspired meze, salads, and sides like Truffle Parmesan Fries complete the table. Sweet finales include Künefe with Maraş ice cream and a decadent Molten Chocolate Fondant with pistachio cream.
Fumée’s drinks programme mirrors its culinary artistry. A refined range of handcrafted cocktails and mocktails caters to every taste, while an exclusive boutique wine list enhances the smoky, rich essence of its dishes.
“For us, every dish at Fumée begins with respect for the ingredient and the flame,” said Kadir Dogan, General Manager of Fumée Steakhouse. “We allow the natural character of premium cuts and fresh produce to shine, enhancing them with just the right touch of smoke, seasoning and time. To complete the experience, our handcrafted cocktails and carefully curated boutique grapes are designed to complement the richness of the menu, creating pairings that are bold, balanced and memorable.”
Sophisticated yet inviting, Fumée Steakhouse stands out as one of Dubai’s most exciting new dining destinations. With its dual locations at Fairmont Dubai and Dubai Marina Walk, the restaurant redefines the modern steakhouse — a celebration of fire, flavour, and artistry in equal measure.
