This romantic retreat won the Time Out Best Seafood Restaurant in 2010 thanks to its menu of ocean-fresh oysters, lobster and scallops.

4. Make brunch that extra bit special with a trip to Traiteur, famous for turning Friday brunches into a true event. From truffle soup to foie gras crème brûlée, this is a far cry from the waffles and pancakes that you might be used to.

This mesmerizing experience on Burj Al Arab’s private beach area is ideal for anniversaries, proposals or honeymoons. The food is a mix of Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern dishes, and you can watch the sunset over this spectacular city as you dine.
