RARE Brasserie & Bar menu and prices
Prices below are taken from RARE Brasserie & Bar's own storefront on Deliveroo for its City Walk branch, checked on 3 September 2026. Delivery-platform prices are sometimes higher than the same dish costs in the dining room, and the platform's delivery and service fees sit on top, so these are not necessarily what you pay at the table. RARE still shows its à la carte menu on its own website only as images, with no prices in the page text; the only price it states in text there is the Business Lunch, at AED 105 for two courses or AED 135 for three.
