How do à la carte restaurants work at all-inclusive hotels in UAE?

At Sofitel, the 2 à la carte restaurants are not covered by the Ultra All Inclusive package and are paid separately. There's a set menu option, or guests can order from the main menu up to a 150 AED credit per person, with anything above that charged extra.

Upgrading to UAL (Ultra All Inclusive) unlocks 12 à la carte restaurants in addition to the main buffet restaurant. Service and presentation quality is much higher, but each restaurant offers a reduced menu, with some dishes still paid extra.

The main restaurant's à la carte menu is almost entirely covered by the all-inclusive package — only two items are excluded: Australian beef fillet and a seafood dish, which are charged separately.

Alcohol selection at the hotel is limited. The main highlight is the à la carte dining — high-quality food and service across multiple restaurants.

The all-inclusive dinner is valid at one restaurant only. Other à la carte restaurants on the property are paid separately. Lunches are not included and can be purchased for AED 115.
