Sometimes the hardest part of organising a meal out in Dubai isn’t finding a date, it’s picking a venue. We are so spoilt in this spectacular city, especially when it comes to restaurants with breathtaking vistas of the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah and beyond. Whether you’re after the ultimate date night spot or a top-notch dinner to impress friends over visiting, GRAZIA’s guide to the best restaurants with a view in Dubai is here to the rescue.
Clap, difc
Not only does Clap boast the largest rooftop terrace in DIFC, but its 180-degree views of the Burj Khalifa and downtown skyline are second to none. Even the (seriously chic) toilets come with a view. Be sure to soak it all in as you ride the glass elevator up over the city before you feast on some of the best Japanese dishes in town as Dubai.

French Riviera beach, al qasr
Name something more romantic than dining on fine French cuisine to the sound of waves lapping the shore as the beautiful Burj Al Arab watches on. Nope? Thought not. One of Dubai’s most stunning seaside spots, French Riviera Beach has it all – views, a prime al fresco location and a heavenly French-themed menu brimming with fresh seafood, grilled meats and buttery veggies packed with the flavours of the Mediterranean. Just be sure to save room for the infamous pain perdu. Heaven.

Thiptara, The Palace Downtown
We cannot gate-keep this front-row Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa view spot. While Thiptara has been a long-standing gem, it remains somewhat hidden. This restaurant offers a sensory feast with its ambiance and aromatic Thai cuisine, crafting a brilliant dining experience. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking a delightful dinner accompanied by a water show.
