Restaurants with amazing outdoors

DINNER IN THE SKY
Location- Dubai International Marine Club

For a perfectly unique dining experience, simply elevate yourself into the skies, literally! ‘Dinner in the sky’ is touted as a lifetime food experience- 3-course meal, 50 meters above the streets of Dubai! Eat at a table suspended by a crane above the city, and get panoramic views of boats moored in Dubai Marina, the aquamarine waters, enjoy the breeze while you enjoy the gastronomical courses.

CE LA VI
Location- Hotel Address Sky View

Cé La Vi, Dubai has become a staple in Dubai’s nightlife scene as the ever-popular bar has become a go-to spot for late-night drinks with amazing Downtown views. But its not only the after-dark views that make Ce La Vi popular. The ‘Brunch on 54’ promises a fabulous daytime sight, where you can enjoy expansive views of Downtown for miles. The brunch at Ce La Vi comes with a unique Dubai experience- four courses of sharing dishes make up the menu, each designed with a multitude of influences from Asian, American and Italian cuisines. And the experience at Ce La Vi is rather incomplete without the customary photoshoot at the Ce La Vi swing bench with the majestic Burj Khalifa glistening in the background.

AL SARAB ROOFTOP LOUNGE
Location- Bab al Shams Resort

 The two-level rooftop lounge offers the city’s most authentic Arabesque atmosphere and looks out over a stunning desert landscape. In the evening, the venue transforms into a setting straight out of 1001 Arabian Nights with dimmed lights, soothing music and the appealing aroma of the traditional Arabian shisha.  Overlooking the Arabian Desert, it embraces a breath-taking amazing sunset views. The rich Arabian design comes in soft, earthy shades, cozy ambience and soothing sounds of the Oud player and delicious Arabic food. Shisha connoisseurs can enjoy their favorite flavours in a relaxed setting.

KOKOBAY
Location – Palm Jumeirah

If you want to reminisce your Balinese holiday, head to Kokobay. It is a typical Bali- inspired beach bar and restaurant. With space for both indoor and outdoor seating, it offers unobstructed views of Arabian Sea and Marina skyline. Appearance wise, it is a great instagrammable hotspot, foodwise it is inspired by delectable European and Asian menu.

BUSSOLA
Location- Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina

From signature dining experience in the lower restaurant to a more casual ambience in the upper deck pizzeria, Bussola Lounge features spectacular sunsets and the famous Aperitivo nights. Its stupendous Italian cuisine offers traditional menu, that is a true interpretation of the Chef, a revived dream of Italian cuisine going beyond the usual to offer something different.

QWERTY
Location- Hotel Media One, Dubai Media City

A hub for white collars to the joyous family dinners, Qwerty is a location where writers can have serenity and a bunch of friends can share jollity too. While its interiors are full of funny details and quotes (great for Instaphobics!), the terrace offers a much needed, relaxed after- work atmosphere with soothing, live music on every Thursday from 6PM-9PM and vibrant evening with DJ on every Tuesday from 6PM-9PM. A promised elegant service with fine international cuisine overlooking the Media City towers when they light up the sky is exactly what you need to celebrate Dubai’s winter after that mammoth summer of pandemic struggle.
