Gerard Cafe Marsa Ajman

Set along the Ajman Corniche, Gerard Cafe serves a broad all-day menu that runs from fresh croissants at breakfast through to fuller plates at lunch and dinner. The kitchen handles classics with care - a well-built burger at around forty dirhams is among the reliable choices - and a meal for two, with cocktails and a few courses, lands in the region of two hundred dirhams, making it a fair mid-range option for the stretch. The mood is unfussy and cafe-casual rather than formal, suited to a relaxed breakfast or a leisurely lunch by the water. Service can be the weak link: waits of half an hour or more are not unusual at busy times, so plan for a longer sit rather than a quick stop. For visitors working their way along the Corniche who want something more considered than a quick bite, it holds its own as a dependable choice.
