Known for its spectacular coastline and its pristine beaches, Dubai effortlessly sports the International tag of urban splendour and natural beauty that leaves a vivid impression on residents and tourists alike. For those who want a superior dining experience and the best of what Dubai has to offer, it is worth eating at one of its lovely beach front restaurants while enjoying the azure blue sea, the delicious food and the lovely whiff of the coastal breeze in your face. Here are some truly worthwhile ones!
A romantic candle lit dinner at the Villa beach with the Burj Al Arab hotel in the background ensures an evening spent in quiet and serene luxury. With the waves lap-lapping at your feet and the feel of warm sand beneath your toes, the utter stillness as you relish your wine and appetizers will make this one of the most memorable evenings that you can spend. The venue is removed from the hustle of Dubai and is a stupendous place for people wanting a quiet evening.
If you want to be transported to Bedouin tents of the yesteryears in a quaint Arabic setting, then Amaseena is the place to be. Located at the Jumeirah beach, you get to enjoy the lovely Arabic cuisine, ambience and listen to soothing music played by Arabic bands in the background while enjoying the natural beauty of Jumeirah beach. The cuisine is sumptuous and the restaurant offers a regular kibbeh and kebab night on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The daily buffet includes a fantastic display of mezze and cheeses.
One of the best ‘beachy’ places to eat. While the restaurant is slightly elevated from the main beach, it still offers a spectacular view of the blue ocean while you get to lie back in comfort at the restaurant’s wooden deck and lovely awnings. The food here is unbeatably good. You get to choose from tapas to barasti burger with pancetta and curly fries. Their fish and chips are equally good and do not miss their barbecue stations. The big screen plasmas showing rugby matches give enough sustenance for the mind and the eyes.
Fish has become one of the more coveted spots for honeymoon getaways. The ambience is super chilled, relaxed and very casual with whitewashed tables and low stools and twinkly lights. You can immerse yourself in the sounds of the ocean and dig into the vast array of Greek, Turkish and Mediterranean dishes with your toes curled firmly in the sand. Feast on the grills and the casseroles specially handcrafted by the restaurants chef.
Shisha and an uber cool crowd is what Cove beach is synonymous with. It’s a great place for shisha and hypnotic music. The lounge area opens out into the beach so you feel as if you are literally on the shore. The food is light and easy on the palate. From an exclusive sushi counter to an assortment of tantalising salads, the fusion food here caters to everyone’s tastes. The main speciality here is the almost perfect steak that can leave you drooling and running back for more. We highly recommend!
Quietly tucked away between lush gardens and in between golden sands, this Dubai hotspot screams tropical. Situated on the Dubai marina the restaurant effortlessly transforms into a beautiful oasis like setting during the day and offers a stunning view of the Palm island bay at night. The main attraction here is the delicious sea food that can leave you satiated and also the freshly tossed salads. The price for a couple is approximately AED 400. Enjoy the serene atmosphere with the gentle tropical breeze.
Situated at the Dubai Marine Beach Resort and Spa, Sho Cho typifies Japanese cuisine at it’s best. A seat on its chic terrace gives you a spectacular view of the sea as you dig into food that is a little different from the usual servings of sushi and raw fish. For newbies trying a hand at Japanese food, you must sample their deep-fried, soft shelled crab, rock shrimp and their mouth-watering signature rolls.
