Brasserie

Brasserie is the à la carte French-European kitchen at DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island, a dressed-up room with linen-set tables, gold accents and low-lit banquette seating that shifts the mood away from the main buffet next door. Breakfast service runs here too and is widely recommended as a calmer alternative to the larger hall. The menu is classic brasserie - French onion soup, moules marinière, salad niçoise, grilled steaks and a strong pasta section alongside a rotating set of daily specials. Desserts are properly patisserie-minded, coffee is the genuine article, and the wine list runs longer than the resort norm. Portions are generous and the kitchen handles occasion dinners - anniversaries, honeymoons, milestone birthdays - with decorated tables and thoughtful timing. The service is the element regulars circle back to. The floor team is long-tenured and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu, pairings and the guest's preferences across a multi-night stay. The restaurant does occasionally shift to buffet-themed evenings during the resort's events calendar, so it's worth booking the à la carte slots in advance - especially for couples looking for a quieter, more intimate meal on the island.
