The best restaurants Dubai

The idea may seem odd, but since we're going to eat keftas in Brussels, why not stop off at one of the Belgian breweries in Dubai? A stellar Artois-style decor, the pressure is on, the French fries in majesty, a joyful din and a charming terrace overlooking the Burj al Arab. It's the perfect place for expats in search of Europe as well as for visitors looking for a place that's neither too touristy nor too expensive with the right atmosphere. Don't miss the Happy Hour every day from 4 to 8 pm except Friday.

A welcome stop in this restaurant which offers a large terrace with a rather nice view on the Burj al Arab and the canals of Madinat Jumeirah. This Lebanese restaurant offers good value for money and we recommend the delicious minty lemonade, some mezze like humus and spinach fatayer and the Mixed Grill Al Makan. The service is attentive and fast. Why not a little shisha to finish the meal? This restaurant, whose name means "The House" is a sure value in the souk of Madinat Jumeirah.

Here's a place where you can eat good food! Not pretentious for two pennies. The famous address has moved to the Sea and has left its traditional Dhow to settle on a nice terrace. The seafood ordered is served in buckets, and it is only once you have put on an apron that you can get down to shelling your victuals. A resolutely playful experience and very welcome in the race for Dubai's ever more chic and sophisticated restaurants, terrace with sea view. Alcohol available

Located above the waves, at the end of a long wooden footbridge, the Pierchic offers a splendid view of the beach and the illuminated palaces, but also and above all a direct marine view of its floating alter ego, the famous Burj al-Arab. At noon, the effect is not the same. Under the stars, the access step makes you walk in the sea following the alignment of the lanterns. As for the menu, Italy is in the spotlight with a completely revamped menu and a new team at the helm of the famous Al Qasr restaurant.

We go there first of all for the superb panoramic terrace which gives on the fountains of the Burj Khalifa. The crowd that invades the tables both inside and outside gets impatient as the taste buds are in a frenzy: Nutella pancakes, French toast with caramelized plums, but also egg casserole, or Benedictine sauce, not to mention the teriyaki salmon. All the cuisines of the world have been invited and consequently all nationalities can be found there, especially the Emiratis. The restaurant is mostly full on weekends from brunch to evening.
