There is a moment between the rush of the workday and the elegance of the evening that the Italians perfected: l’aperitivo. Il Gattopardo, the glamorous Italian dining destination on the 51st floor of ICD Brookfield Place, has officially launched its signature aperitivo hour, inviting guests to experience this timeless Italian ritual daily from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM. It’s the ultimate after-work escape, blending authentic Italian hospitality with elevated Dubai sophistication.
The aperitivo ritual is defined by its generosity, and Il Gattopardo upholds this tradition in full Italian spirit. Guests who purchase a cocktail are welcomed with a complimentary selection of bar bites, each one a flavorful ode to Italy’s rich culinary heritage. This makes the experience highly valuable, transforming a simple post-work drink into a refined social gathering complete with savory bites.
The ambiance of the bar lounge is a scene of pure luxury and mid-century glamour. Soaring floor-to-ceiling windows frame the breathtaking backdrop of the Dubai skyline, creating a sense of effortless sophistication that is highly sought after in DIFC after-work spots.
The carefully curated cocktail menu focuses on traditional Italian drinks, reinterpreted with modern artistry. The pricing is accessible (AED 50 to AED 55 per drink), encouraging guests to explore the classics:
- The Bellini: A light and elegant blend of Italian sparkling wine and delicate peach sweetness, ideal for easing into the evening.
- The Negroni: A bold, spirit-forward profile with Tanqueray Export, Cocchi di Torino, and Campari, a timeless choice for a robust aperitif.
- The Negroni Sbagliato: Offers a brighter twist by swapping gin for sparkling wine, creating a refreshing and effervescent take on the original.
As the sun sets over the skyline, the atmosphere shifts seamlessly from a sunlit lounge to a vibrant nightlife destination, completed by a live DJ setting the tone. L’aperitivo is that perfect moment of transition, a refined break from the city’s rapid pace.
Trade your cubicle for a classic cocktail and a captivating skyline view. Il Gattopardo’s signature l’aperitivo hour offers complimentary bar bites and sophisticated sips, making it the finest after-work escape in DIFC.
