28 of Dubai’s best beachfront restaurants

When the blissful winter weather is here, there’s nothing we love more than dining alfresco. And with the city’s endless stretches of glorious sand, beachfront restaurants are one of our go-to’s for outdoor dining in Dubai. From sun-kissed breakfasts to romantic date nights, there’s something for all beach lovers. Here are 28 of the best beachfront restaurants in Dubai. A serene seafood grill perfect for family lunches by day and romantic dinners by night, the shorefront Beach Bar & Grill at One&Only Royal Mirage oozes coastal allure. Guests can expect relaxed yet sophisticated interiors with a teakwood terrace, thick tabletops crafted from slabs of natural wood, sand-coloured furnishings and art deco accents. Pick a seat inside for a cosy feel, or snag a table on the terrace to dine by the breezy Arabian Gulf, and delight in a menu that features an extensive raw selection, freshly caught seafood, grilled meats and hearty sharing dishes. Where: One&Only Royal Mirage, Dubai Marina Timings: daily, 12pm to 11pm Book: @beachbarandgrill No matter what time of the day you visit The Beach House, you’ll feel like you’re dining at a tropical resort, far from the bustle of Dubai. We love its setting, whitewashed decor and menu that makes you feel at home no matter where you’re from. Bag a beachfront table at the edge of the restaurant, and you’re guaranteed a good time – and a gorgeous view. The tiered seafood tower is a great way to enjoy a lazy beachfront lunch. Where: Anantara The Palm Timings: daily 12pm to 1am Book: @thebeachhousedubai From can-do-no-wrong Tashas Group, Bungalo34 is a love letter to the idyllic Greek isles, unrolling along the shorefront of Nikki Beach Resort. With its tables that spill down to the sand and candy cane striped parasols, it’s bright, beachy and beautiful. An inviting beachfront address that’s nailed that perfect balance of refined and familiar, it’s chic but not stuffy – and also serves up one of the best alfresco weekend breakfasts in the city.
