One of Dubai’s most refined steak experiences is back. World Cut Steakhouse reopens at Al Habtoor Palace, bringing its collection of hand-picked cuts, from premium Australian and American beef to rare A5 Japanese Wagyu, back to Al Habtoor City.
At the heart of the restaurant is the craft of the grill. Every cut is carefully sourced for its quality and flavour and cooked precisely to each guest’s preference, with two exceptional A5 Japanese Wagyu leading the selection. The Kumamoto A5 Wagyu is raised in the river-fed mountains of Hitoyoshi, while the Omi A5 Wagyu from Shiga Prefecture is grain-fed for 500 days to achieve the highest marbling grade. Generous bone-in cuts arrive on wooden carving boards, made to be shared and savoured.
Not every highlight comes off the grill, and tartare doesn’t come much fresher than this. Here, the beef is ground tableside in front of guests, then mixed with finely chopped shallots, capers, a touch of mustard and a rich, golden egg yolk. Prepared with precision and served the moment it’s ready, it’s a steakhouse classic in its purest form.
Beyond the steaks, the menu celebrates the classics of the American steakhouse with a modern flair. Starters pair the timeless with the indulgent, from the classic Iceberg Wedge with tomato, crispy beef bacon and a rich blue cheese dressing to the decadent Truffle Pops, topped with Comté cheese and an umami mushroom sauce. Among the mains, a Wagyu Beef Burger layered with cheddar and a Mushroom Risotto enriched with Parmigiano Reggiano and a drizzle of truffle oil sit perfectly alongside the cuts. Sides such as Creamed Spinach and Grilled Asparagus complete the table, paired with a choice of sauces from a classic Béarnaise to a vibrant chimichurri. To finish, the Plaisir Sucré layers praline crunch with silky chocolate mousse, while the passion fruit-infused Crème Brûlée arrives beneath a perfectly caramelised sugar crust.
The setting is every bit as considered. Rich wood interiors, plush furnishings and the soft glow of candlelight set the tone for the evening. With the kitchen serving until 1am, it’s the place for every kind of occasion, from milestone celebrations and business dinners with clients to after-work plans and late nights with friends.
An extensive wine cellar spanning the Old and New World brings together celebrated Bordeaux and Burgundy houses and small boutique wineries, while a menu of handcrafted signature cocktails and mocktails offers the perfect match for every cut.
Tuesdays, meanwhile, are made for sharing. Tomahawk Tuesdays brings a show-stopping Tomahawk cut to the centre of the table, perfectly cooked and served alongside a spread of appetisers and decadent desserts, while live entertainment keeps the atmosphere buzzing from 5pm until midnight. At AED 785 per couple, inclusive of a bottle of vintage, it’s one of the most inviting midweek date nights in the city.
Set within Al Habtoor Palace, whose Beaux-Arts architecture draws on the great palaces of Europe, the restaurant makes a natural centrepiece for an evening at Al Habtoor City. Reservations are now open, with tables available daily from 5pm and bookings taken by phone, email or online via SevenRooms.
