Welcome to Bull & Bear by Marc Hardiman, where European-inspired cuisine meets international influences. Under Marc Hardiman’s vision, the venue aims to blend tradition with creativity, offering dishes rooted in personal stories and modern wellness, with a focus on refined, dairy-free creations. Bull & Bear, the iconic art-deco fine-dining restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre, is entering an exciting new chapter. Now rebranded as Bull & Bear by Marc Hardiman, the venue shifts its focus to European cuisine with international influences, bringing a fresh perspective to Dubai’s culinary scene with storied dining. At the helm of this transformation is Chef Patron, Marc Hardiman, a British-born culinary virtuoso. Hardiman’s creative vision shines through a new, thoughtfully curated menu, which draws inspiration from his personal experiences. Many of the dishes reflect childhood memories, honour traditional family cooking, and feature dairy-free elements, echoing Hardiman’s own journey with lactose intolerance. Bull & Bear offers guests an elevated dining experience, blending classic techniques with inventive storytelling on every plate. This reimagined restaurant invites patrons to explore a world of refined flavours, heartfelt craftsmanship, and timeless elegance in the heart of the Waldorf Astoria DIFC.
