Mediterranean cuisine restaurants United Arab Emirates

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.

In the most fashionable artistic and commercial complex of the square, with its canal, its abrasions and its Ferris wheel, there are several cafés and restaurants where you can play "leapfrog", from the French Gérard to the Italian Mangiare, from the oriental Shababeek to the Indian Biryani Box. And many others, like the delicious Fish Corner, with pleasant terraces. Very good spot for lunch, and for dinner not far from the luminous fountains.

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.

This is the trendy restaurant of the Burj Al Arab, coiled up near the swimming pool and which offers, in a setting worthy of photos from decorating magazines, the ideal place to come and have lunch in this mythical hotel of the city. The Italian chef Marco Garfagnini proposes a Mediterranean cuisine, refined and quite affordable considering the location. Even if the restaurant allows casual wear at lunchtime, the customers who come here take care of their outfits with a touch of sophistication. An idyllic setting that we recommend for lunch. Reservation recommended.

You would never expect to find such a nice and pretty restaurant in the heart of the old souk. You don't know anymore if you are in the heart of the historical city or in Mykonos or Santorini. A small terrace on the roof is ideal in the evening to admire the old souk. The restaurant pays homage to Greek Mediterranean cuisine of course, but also Italian, French and Spanish. Everything is beautifully presented, fresh and delicious with a special mention for the mocktails. A very good address in the heart of Khorfakkan not to be missed.

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.
