If you’ve ever been to Lana Lusa at the Four Seasons Private Residences, you’ll know that the waterfront venue is a safe space for relaxed evenings and long conversations.

But if skyline selfies and group dinners that turn into nights out are more your type of scene, Lana Lusa’s newest location at SO/ Uptown Dubai is perfect for you. 

Team GRAZIA have always been fans of the Mediterranean-Portuguese menu at this beloved spot since its Wasl 51 days, and our opinion of this latest iteration is no different.

Architecturally and atmospherically, the new Lana Lusa, described as double the size of the Water Canal location, strives to fit the cityscape’s slick aesthetic. Two bars (one indoors and one outdoors) anchor the venue, serving as both focal points and flexible stages for future collaborations and seasonal events. 

The inclusion of a dedicated private dining area signals a desire to cater to an expansive set of needs, from intimate celebrations to larger social gatherings.

It’s an urban-dining experience that keeps the spirit of gathering at the centre. Bold plates designed to be shared, flavours that sit between citrus brightness and smoky depth, and textures that make you shut your eyes to savour it all better.

Lana Lusa’s new home isn’t trying to be like its calm, contemplative waterfront sibling; it’s a reflection of the stunning city we live in, and arrives at the perfect moment (just in time for the restaurant’s fifth anniversary) with a confident, buzzy swagger.
