The Dubai Fountain – one of the city’s most iconic attractions – has been on somewhat of a hiatus during the summer months, due to renovations and technical upgrades. However, as the cooler weather is imminent, anticipation is building, with many predicting that the dazzling water-and-light spectacle will be back in action sometime next month.
And because the best way to enjoy the show is over dinner and a view, GRAZIA has rounded up the restaurants that promise both unforgettable menus and front-row seats to the magic of the Dubai Fountain.
Somewhere
Already a global favourite with a newly opened outpost at Harrods, Somewhere’s Dubai Mall location might just be the jewel in its crown. Perched on Level One, its balcony offers direct fountain views, paired with a Mediterranean fusion menu inspired by the travels of founders Amal Almarri and Deem Albassam. Expect inventive plates that make dining here a true culinary journey.

Urla
For one of the city’s most breathtaking vantage points, book a table at Urla. Elevated above the Dubai Mall fountains within Address Downtown, the restaurant channels the sun-soaked spirit of the Aegean with flavours rooted in Greek and Turkish cuisine. Whether under the midday sun or the glittering Burj Khalifa by night, the views are unparalleled.

OFK
Standing for Open Fire Kitchen, OFK is an immersive dining concept where bold fusion flavours reign. Think truffle-glazed wagyu aburi, Korean short rib fried rice, and miso banoffee, all served beneath the fountain’s lights and music. It’s a feast for all the senses.

La Maison Ani
The brainchild of celebrated Chef Izu Ani, La Maison Ani brings Parisian charm to Dubai Mall. The menu, a relaxed take on French-Mediterranean cuisine, spans everything from artisan baguettes and delicate pastries to thin-crust pizzas. With its chic interiors and sweeping fountain views, it’s the ultimate post-shopping indulgence.
