This week I suggest Tre : straight from Roberto’s in the DIFC. This 3 storey restaurant will open this week. Roberto Rella is now setting up a new home on the 49th floor of the Radisson Royal Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road. 3 different types of vibe to match 3 different types of cuisine.

Best for a first date under Dhs 500
Definitely Busaba Eathai: a Thai chain from London which is finally in Dubai at the Beach end of JBR. With communal tables, good, modern Thai food; it is a great buzzy restaurant. Sadly no Singha Thai beer and I suggest you don’t valet park your car!
