With a myriad of fine-dining spots around the UAE. There’s a few that are set apart from the rest. The Guild isn’t just a restaurant – it’s a completely new world of its own.

Situated within the sleek confines of ICD Brookfield Place in DIFC, this bold concept is a love letter to the bustling brasseries of Europe and New York. A place where artistry meets culinary excellence, where every dish and detail tell a story.

As the brainchild of Melbourne born Dubai trailblazer Tom Arnel, the venture unfolds under the masterful design of London-based architect David Archer, celebrated for iconic creations such as the timeless celebrity haunt Chiltern Firehouse and The Standard Hotel.

For all the food aficianado’s, the menu has a vast array of dishes catering to everyone’s needs. Some of the key dishes to try at The Guild Wagyu Burger, Poached King Crab, Wood-fired Lamb Chops and the Crêpe Brûlée. For those looking to take it up a notch, dishes from the new menu include Australian Wagyu Striploin Ribeye, Chilean Seabass En Papillote, Italian Burrata, Canadian Lobster and Braised Veal Pappardelle, all headed by Chef Burak Pazarioglu.

Known for its expansive space, guests can step into The Nurseries, a lush, plant-filled oasis inspired by New York’s bohemian Tribeca, perfect for long, leisurely lunches. Tucked away nearby is The Potting Shed, an intimate escape ideal for an aperitivo—or your next ultra-exclusive gathering, with space for up to 30 guests. But the real showstopper? The Salon. This grand dining room is where the magic happens, with fire and coals setting the stage in an open kitchen, while The Rockpool—teeming with live crustaceans—keeps seafood lovers coming back for more.

Regarded as the ultimate late-night spot, The Aviary is night-time hideaway where cocktails flow with timeless design and an unforgettable experience. This night-time hideaway haven is every Wednesday to Saturday from 7 PM till late, the intimate and cosy space features the expertise of the renowned bar team, who bring their exceptional drink service and knowledge to the dynamic setting.
