Best of Dubai – BREAKFAST
OTANTIK – Turkish restaurant
Location
Sheikh Zayed Service Road near Al Manara side, not far from the Metropolitan hotel.
Price
AED 99.00
The picture above features the sharing breakfast for 2 for just AED 99.00 INCLUDING Turkish tea and some hot fresh breads! Kind of like a Turkish Thali.
Good to Know
A really nice place to sit and catch up without feeling under pressure to just eat and leave. I also liked the look of their 10 varieties of mezze platter for just AED 75! I will try that next time for sure.

Best of Dubai – FRESH PIZZA WITH A VIEW
BLU PIZZERIA
Location
Jumeirah Fishing harbour in Um Suqueim not far from the Burj Al Arab.
Price
AED 60 for their basic but very tasty Margerita pizza, called Margot. They have fans on in the patio area so it is possible to eat outside when the sun goes down, even when it’s hot.
Good to Know
This place gets very busy, so go early if you can. The menu is small so it’s not a place you linger, you eat and leave, perfect location to walk off your food afterwards.

Best of Dubai – INDIAN SEAFOOD DINNER
HOT FISH CAFE
Location
Um Suqueim park just off Al Thanya street in Um Suqueim.
Price
Prawns Fry, Fish gravy both shown above with rice and a 2 fresh lime sodas come to about AED 100 !
Good to Know
There is a large outdoor patio with great views of the Burj Al Arab when weather permits.
My advice is to stick to the Indian dishes from the vast choice here. And within those fish or prawns fry or grilled with rice. The fish gravy is a must! The basics are the best.
Very tasty and great value. Not too big inside, it’s not loud either, but no cold beer as yet!
