Dine with your toes in the sand
You could easily while away an entire afternoon at this romantic Santorini-inspired spot. The tavern’s white-and-blue décor alone is distracting enough (we’re talking white-washed, cobbled alleyway, tables on the sand and picturesque views of The Arabian Gulf). But the fare –fresh octopus flown in from the Aegean, Black and Marmara Seas and traditional Turkish dishes – are in a league of their own.Even HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has visited here for lunch. Our advice? Stick around for sunset (and a sundowner or two). .
Fish Dubai, La Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina, 6pm to 11pm. Tel (04) 511 7139. www.fish-dubai.com

Go to the launch of the new Burj Al Arab brunch

Head down to the new pool party at Nikki Beach Dubai
