Mediterranean cuisine restaurants Dubai

The Milanese company, which is more than a century old, is accompanying the great Giorgio in his Dubai adventure. Smoky cured meats, fresh transalpine cheeses, soft almond sponge cakes, the stalls play the catering card and everyone does their own little gourmet market, also picking from the menu of hot dishes. To take away in pretty boxes or to eat on the spot, with an exceptional view on the big fountains. We particularly recommend the Friday Brunch. The tables on the terrace are a must. Chic and casual. One Michelin star.

Dreaming of a new haven to enjoy the sun and sea with your toes in the sand? Laguna Beach Taverna, Sofitel Dubai The Palm's newest "bohemian chic" restaurant and beach bar, is sure to enchant you! The whitewashed walls and rattan design will transport you to Greece. The menu takes you on a journey around the Mediterranean basin. At noon, find yourself a shady table. At night, DJ sets encourage you to dance on the sand.

This huge Italian grocery store divided into several parts offers the opportunity to shop while having the possibility to eat. At the entrance, the café is suitable for a quick break where you can sip your "Illy" espresso with a pastry. On the sides, there are several stalls to eat on the go, including one dedicated to the famous spread. The restaurant, located at the back of the store, offers all the classic Italian dishes as well as a special menu for truffle dishes. No view. Its duplicate also exists at Festival City Mall.

Twiggy is an oasis in the heart of the Park Hyatt's green setting. This restaurant, with its breathtaking view over the Creek, is one of the city's chic and trendy spots. A zen atmosphere around the pool and Mediterranean cuisine with a French twist, this restaurant is often sold out. After Cantine du Faubourg and Ninive, the group's third restaurant is a great place to enjoy lunch away from the noise of the city. You can also spend the day relaxing by the pool.

The best Portuguese restaurant in Dubai, where tradition and authentic flavors meet. With decor reminiscent of Lisbon taverns and a menu packed with delicacies such as "Bacalhau a Brás", this restaurant promises a unique culinary experience. The restaurant also offers options for vegetarians and those with specific dietary requirements. Celebrate the richness of Portuguese traditions with themed evenings featuring Fado melodies performed by local artists, wine tastings and cultural events.

It is a restaurant mostly frequented by expatriates. Its big asset is its terrace on the Creek, in a quiet area, and it is therefore the ideal place for a romantic lunch or dinner with a superb view of the Creek and Dubai in a fresh setting, bright during the day and dimmed at night. Vivaldi is an Italian restaurant with a beautiful menu prepared by the starred chef Alfredo Rousso. The dishes are traditional with a touch of modernity and a contemporary presentation. Not to be missed: the sunset on the Creek!

La Bussola is a safe bet. The restaurant has a large terrace overlooking the park and the sea, a fine trattoria, and a giant pizza bar with a straw hut feel on the second floor. On the first floor, you can enjoy pasta or almond ice cream in a more intimate atmosphere, while upstairs, the tables resound and the Italian records twirl. A beautiful address. It is a perfect restaurant for weekends in dolce vita mode. The upstairs terrace is so well ventilated that even when it starts to get hot, it remains pleasant.

In a playful decoration that evokes the atmosphere of the Riviera of the 1960s, the three-starred chef Massimo Bottura signs his first restaurant outside Italy in a relaxed atmosphere with a touch of sophistication. The terrace is one of the most beautiful on the Palm, with a clear view of the Marina. The same spirit can be found on the plate: all the classics of Italian cuisine are brilliantly prepared with top quality products. So, as its name indicates, we only have one desire: to return there quickly!

And it was a wonder! This is what we can say about the unreal view that this marvellous terrace offers us: below, the dhows and their coming and going, testimony of a vanished past, and at the bottom, the insolent towers that stand on the whole horizon. Two Dubai, two eras, two worlds! The restaurant nestles at the top of the Rotana Hotel. On the plate, it is a market menu, according to the arrivals, Italian version: beautiful marriages of acidulous notes with fish carpaccios, beef cheek and tiramisu for dessert.

A beautiful terrace on the beach, all in blue and white with a few touches of colour for this restaurant with Mediterranean accents. Inside, large French-style chandeliers give a quirky air to the beautiful room. A holiday atmosphere, a chic cosmopolitan clientele rushes in to sit down day and night, far from hotel restaurants. The menu places a great deal of emphasis on fish, which is largely sourced from local fishermen. The restaurant has a zero plastic policy.

This restaurant is located on the 44th floor of the Hilton Al Habtoor City. The "bistro-chic" setting is very successful and the terrace is breathtaking with a breathtaking view of the Burj Kalifa and the skyscrapers of Downtown. The Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is not to be outdone. A well-chosen mix of Italian and French cuisine. An address not to be missed especially if you want to enjoy a superb roof-top. Moreover, if you want to extend the evening, the Sport Bar and the Dome nightclub are on the same floor.

Located in the Westin on Sufouh Road, a short walk from the Marina, this contemporary Spanish restaurant is one of the trendiest spots in the marina district. Inside, an elegant modern decoration welcomes you, and outside, the beautiful terrace is reminiscent of southern Europe. The food on the plates is sophisticated and beautifully presented. To accompany these culinary discoveries, top-quality liqueurs and cigars are available. Many Spaniards frequent this restaurant, a guarantee of quality

The yacht club is located on the other side of the hotel on the residential side. In a chocolate coloured wooden case, this superb restaurant is nestled in a beautiful setting decorated with numerous photos of Alain Delon, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren (to name but a few) all taken on the Riviera. The setting is idyllic and the terrace has for horizon the skyline of Dubai downtown and the superb yachts of the Marina of the Bulgari hotel. On the plate side, Italy delights us with its risottos and pasta alla vongole. An ultra-refined place far from the hubbub of Dubai.

There is no adjective to describe the atmosphere at Nammos or the clientele who flock there. Is it the impression that customers are on eternal holiday? Is it a reflection of the most extravagant, blinging Dubai has to offer? Is it the place where a gentle, casual voluptuousness is displayed? What is Nammos? A beach, a restaurant, prices as stratospheric as the clientele and the feeling of being in the theatre. But the cuisine is still delicious and the service impeccable, the music divine, the singers wonderful.
