Visit the Al Dawaar Revolving Restaurant and Lounge
The first restaurant on our list, in the spirit of Dubai, wouldn’t be complete if it wasn’t only a great opportunity for culinary excellence but also an unforgettable experience in and of itself. The only revolving rooftop revolving restaurant in Dubai, Al Dawaar is a relaxed lounge featuring incredible international foods. The indoor décor is a combination of modern and colonial.
The food is exquisite and paired with delicious modern drinks. In particular, we love the fresh sushi and tandoori on offer. The food is fresh, vibrant, and varied. Pair it with one of their many, many champagne offerings, which range from delicious mid-range to over-the-top extravagant.
This is not only Dubai’s, but one of the world’s, few rotating rooftop restaurants, so be sure not to miss it.
Take in the Beach at Wavebreaker
Perfect for the cooler days, Wavebreaker allows you to soak in the sun or sit under an umbrella while enjoying your meals. And you certainly will enjoy your meals, which focus on grilled and smoked meats and seafood, but with plenty of vegetarian options and favorites from Mexico.
In particular, we love the falafel pita sandwich. If you’re up for it, there’s The Jawbreaker, which is a massive burger that probably even two people won’t have room for. They also feature an incredible Canadian lobster cooked directly out of the tank. They’re also known for a great variety of cocktails, beer buckets, cider, and more. There’s nothing better than cooling off under an umbrella on the beach with a fine cocktail.
