FUMÉE IGNITES DUBAI’S DINING SCENE WITH BOLD NEW STEAKHOUSES AT FAIRMONT DUBAI AND DUBAI MARINA WALK
A new steakhouse haven has arrived in Dubai with the launch of Fumée, devoted to the artistry of smoke and flavour. Expanding its presence across two key destinations, each location offers a unique interpretation of the brand’s signature warmth and sophistication. At Fairmont Dubai, FUMÉE Steakhouse embodies contemporary elegance with rustic undertones, while at District 8 in Dubai Marina, the restaurant overlooks the waterfront, blending modern refinement with the charm of coastal dining.
At Fumée in Fairmont Dubai, guests are welcomed to an elevated setting where high ceilings, warm wooden floors, and candlelit ambience create a romantic, inviting atmosphere. Dark leather seating, touches of greenery, and playful artworks lend depth, while the soft notes of background jazz creates a space that feels timeless. Over at District 8, Fumée takes on a more artistic expression, featuring deep textures, golden accents and sculpted detailing inspired by the grandeur of Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Framed by the glittering waterfront, the space embodies refined luxury and modern artistry, unified by Fumée’s signature spirit of craftsmanship and flavour.
At the heart of Fumée Steakhouse lies a single culinary vision shared across both locations, where every dish tells the same story of craftsmanship, smoke and refined flavour. Built around premium cuts expertly seasoned to deliver rich, unforgettable tastes, the menu features meats that melt effortlessly in the mouth. Signature highlights include the Truffle Beef Tartare layered with truffle aioli and crispy leek, and the 8 Hour Asado Beef Ribs, slow cooked until perfectly tender, creating dishes that feel indulgent and memorable. The essence of Fumée is captured in The Golden Ottoman, a spectacular sharing steak that takes centre stage at the table. The menu also embraces the tastes of the sea with the Lobster Linguine al Bisque, featuring fresh lobster in a rich tomato bisque sauce. Mediterranean and Levantine inspired meze, fresh salads and sides such as Truffle Parmesan Fries and Chargrilled Asparagus add variety and depth, while desserts like the classic Künefe with Maraş ice cream or a Molten Chocolate Fondant with pistachio cream bring the experience to a sweet and satisfying finale.
Complementing the food, Fumée enhances the dining experience with a refined selection of handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, offering something flavourful and refreshing for every palate. The restaurant also takes pride in its boutique collection of wines, thoughtfully curated to pair with the menu and elevate the rich flavours of the meats.
“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.”
With its luxurious interiors, refined cuisine and atmosphere of understated elegance, Fumée Steakhouse is a distinctive addition to Dubai’s dining scene. Blending fire, flavour and finesse, the restaurant invites guests to savour a steakhouse experience that is as memorable as it is indulgent – now with two exceptional locations: Fairmont Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road, and Dubai Marina Walk, District 8.
