15 Must-Try Restaurants Near Our Vacation Homes
One of the greatest joys of staying in a Dubai vacation home is the incredible dining scene right outside your door. With over 13,000 restaurants representing virtually every cuisine on earth, Dubai has become a genuine food capital. Here are some of the standout restaurants near our most popular properties, all personally tested and recommended by our team.
In Dubai Marina, Pier 7 is a seven-storey tower where each floor is a different restaurant — from the Asian fusion of Asia Asia to the seafood-focused Atelier M on the rooftop. For a more relaxed meal, Bosporus on the Marina Walk serves excellent Turkish cuisine with waterfront views. In Downtown Dubai, the options are equally impressive. Zuma in the DIFC serves modern Japanese izakaya-style dishes that have earned it a loyal following, while Tresind Studio holds a Michelin star for its innovative Indian tasting menus.
JBR is a street food paradise. The Walk is lined with everything from Shake Shack to authentic shawarma joints, and the beachfront restaurants at Rixos Premium serve some of the freshest seafood in the city. On the Palm, our guests consistently rave about Nobu, but for something more local, try Al Mahara — the underwater restaurant at Burj Al Arab — or the more affordable but equally delicious Trattoria at the Fairmont.
For guests staying in Business Bay, the Dubai Water Canal area has become a dining hotspot with restaurants like Boca, La Petite Maison, and the stunning Il Ristorante by Niko Romito at the Bulgari Hotel. We include personalized restaurant recommendations with every stay, and our team is always happy to help with reservations at popular spots.
