02The beef

The current à la carte groups its beef under USDA Prime and Australian headings. From the United States: Greater Omaha Prime striploin and tenderloin. Australian wagyu appears as Jade at mb9+, and an Ebony tenderloin goes into The Butcher's Block; the menu also names Sanchoku and Carrara beef with their marble scores. The dry-aged section prices Carrara prime rib and T-bone by the 100 g / 3.5 oz, and The Guild burger uses a patty dry-aged for 30 days. A butcher's table of 220/240 g steaks, from onglet and picanha to chuck flap, runs from AED 140 to AED 180.

03The fire

Wood and charcoal. FACT reported in 2023 that The Salon would put cooking on fire and coals at center stage, What's On described woodfire steaks, and the house quotes The National on food cooked over open fire and charcoal.

04The story

The Guild opened in "acts" at ICD Brookfield Place in 2023, starting with The Nurseries and The Potting Shed in August, followed by The Salon and The Rockpool. It is the work of chef and restaurateur Tom Arnel and the EatX group, behind Tom & Serg and Common Grounds, with design by London architect David Archer. The Michelin Guide named it Opening of the Year in July 2024, and Emirates 24|7 lists it among the selected restaurants of the 2026 guide.
