Restaurants in Dubai

Doors Dubai Mall holds the highest volume of five-star reviews on this list, driven by its fountain-facing terrace, table-carved lamb asado, and an alcohol-free Levantine service that handles occasion dinners with quiet care. For a Downtown dinner that celebrates the view without overplaying it, it is one of the most reliable bookings in the city.

Prices span the mid-casual to fine-dining range. OCCO Restaurant, Naughty Pizza, Sallet Al Sayad, Society Room, Elaia, and Vegan Burger sit in the upper-casual $$$ bracket, while Ronin, Doors Dubai Mall, Varq, and Vera Versilia push into the $$$$ fine-dining range where tasting and sharing formats deliver the best value.

Doors Dubai Mall faces the fountains and Burj Khalifa directly from its Downtown terrace, Ronin's JBR terrace picks up the skyline once the sun drops, and Elaia sits over the Dubai Marina basin at Pier 7 with a panoramic terrace. For sunset dinners, these three are the most reliable terrace bookings on the list.
