Dining out in Dubai’s restaurants is a fantastic experience, but not just because of the food. Service is exceptional and many restaurants have settings to inspire even the most well travelled palate.

Dubai has a reputation internationally for the quality of its dining and nightlife. This is hardly surprising when one considers that the vast majority of the city’s best bars and restaurants are to be found inside five-star hotels. From fine dining at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant Verre (his first outside the United Kingdom; New York is his second), Gary Rhodes’ Mezzanine to an Arabic feast complete with belly dancers and hubbly bubbly pipes, there is a huge and varied selection of restaurants and cafes offering splendid meals for both the gourmand and the health conscious.

Equally, you are massively spoiled for choice in terms of bars, pubs and night clubs. Whether you are looking for a romantic corner to sip a glass of wine with a loved one, or aiming for something more lively, there are literally hundreds of choices to suit everyone.

Dubai is now firmly on the tour circuit for artistes from around the world, who regularly play to packed clubs around the city. International DJs can be found in beautifully designed nightclubs across Dubai every weekend night, while throughout the week, resident DJs provide sophisticated clubbers with the full array of dance music. A different venue for every day of the year!
