Known to most as the most romantic restaurant in Dubai, Eauzone looks casual during the day but once the sunset hits the turquoise water, this venue turns into a sleek, refined restaurant seemingly floating on translucent water. A winding pathway over the pool will lead you to wooden decks of private “islands” where you can dine and enjoy the view of the Arabian Gulf.
Location: Arabian Court at One&Only Royal Mirage, Dubai
Cuisine: Thai, Japanese, Asian
Timings: Open daily from 10am to 10pm. Last reservations at 9:30pm.
Covid19 Guidelines: A maximum booking of guests per table applies according to social distancing.
2. Al Hadheerah
Despite Dubai’s diverse dining scene, tracking down authentic Emirati cuisine and experience is one of the hardest things to do in the city. Thankfully, Al Hadheerah packs in as many Arabian Desert experiences as a vacationer can handle. The restaurant is hidden among sand dunes giving it an isolated oasis feel. You will be dining inside the walls of a traditional fort where local singers belt out, Sufi dancers whirl, falcons perch on handlers’ mitts, and Arabian horses parade. There are fourteen live cooking stations but the highlight that everyone looks forward to is the whole lamb, lowered into a charcoal pit and slow-cooked for six hours.
Location: Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa, 60-minute drive from Dubai Airport
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Timings: Open daily from 7pm to 12 midnight.
Covid19 Guidelines: Maximum occupancy of 70% with tables 3 meters away from each other. 7 people in one table and 4 people in the lounge. There will be no live entertainment, shows, and activities due to DTCM restriction guidelines.

One of Dubai’s best seafood restaurants is located on its own little pier, way out in the water and far from the noise and bustle of Dubai. At Pierchic, you will enjoy a view of the Azure and Arabian Gulf, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, and the Dubai Marina skyline over a fresh-catch dinner of seafood dishes alfresco. To reach it, you can take a long stroll on the private pier or be transported via rickshaw.

Nothing can beat At.mosphere’s incredible panoramic Dubai city views. Rising 442 m from the ground, At.mosphere sits on level 122 of the world’s tallest building – Burj Khalifa. This swanky dining spot hurtles you upwards on an express elevator that will make your ears pop – but is worth it once you step foot to a two-level glass atrium. Whether you’re visiting for a hearty breakfast or a special date, you’re guaranteed an experience like no other. Although it may seem counterintuitive, you are advised to visit At.mosphere at night; “Dubai looks best when it twinkles.”
