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.

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.

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.

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 same spirit can be found on the plate: all the classics of Italian cuisine are brilliantly prepared with top quality products.
