Dubai is the home to the world’s tallest building, and the world’s tallest hotel, so it’s not a surprise that it also offers the world’s best dining experiences. From private beaches to island views, some restaurants will make your visits worth every dirham. Indeed, we’re spoiled for choices in this lavish emirate, which makes picking a spot to eat a luxurious problem.
However, fear not, if you’re looking for the perfect backdrop while eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner, here are the perfect Dubai restaurants with a waterfront or beach view…
