There’s nothing quite like an iced beverage under the shade of a beach umbrella on a blistering summer day. Add in delicious seafood, a resort-style atmosphere, plus an indoor-outdoor restaurant and you have Twiggy by la Cantine–one of Dubai’s top dining destinations.

With equally unbeatable views and coastal-inspired dishes, Twiggy by la Cantine is Dubai’s best restaurant for Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. It offers reservations for table settings, private beach cabanas, and day beds along the white-sand coast of the Park Hyatt Dubai Lagoon–making it an ideal location for spending leisure time this summer. Twiggy by la Cantine encourages its regulars to lounge, swim, and spend quality time along its stylised shores. With its dense menu and relaxing ambience, it’s easy to see how one could spend all day unwinding there, at least, we know we most certainly will.

Twiggy by la Cantine was designed by Pierre Pirajean, Helena Paraboschi and Rizwan Kassim, who tapped into the aesthetics of the Mediterranean to complete their vision for this Dubai-based restaurant. It’s a picture-perfect location that uses earthy materials like rattan and a muted colour palette to connect the restaurant to its natural surroundings. For example, a splash of turquoise is incorporated into the neutral colour palette to bring out the blue of the lagoon against the white sand beach. It’s a visually compelling property brought to life by the delicious food and energy of the people there, making it one of the best restaurants in Dubai to try this summer.

The menu is an unparalleled journey through coastal cities like Ibiza, Saint-Tropez, Cassis, and Formentera via Okinawa. From black truffle pizza to king crab, the chef has prepared an array of fresh dishes suited to accommodate different diets. The menu offers pescatarian options like sushi and seafood platters that are sprinkled with caviar, prawns, lobster, and oysters. It also contains meatier dishes like Angus beef and vegetarian options like quinoa and kale salad. The menu is dedicated to providing artfully made dishes for all of its guests and is well-suited for its elevated, sun-drenched atmosphere. It’s a can’t-miss restaurant in Dubai to try this summer, whether you’re visiting town for the weekend or are ready to be a regular.
