Savor European cuisine and aesthetically presented. At times, you may chance upon some Michelin-starred guest chefs running the kitchen.
Bu Qtair
“Low key” dining is not really a usual commendation in Dubai, but it’s what makes Bu Qtair stand out from the rest. You can dine in a port-a-cabin located on Jumeriah Beach. This simple and basic fish shack has attracted a number of expats. You can try its pomfret, shrimp, snapper, or shari (spotted emperor). The restaurant can be found on Road 4d.
Aprons & Hammers
You can revisit the fishing and pearl diving culture of Dubai’s past by dining at Aprons & Hammers. You can try crabs and lobsters served in a traditional sailing vessel; such crustaceans are served in tin buckets. Tables have fishing net coverings to shield diners from the sun and they are festooned with plastic crabs, lobster baskets, and starfish. Adults will have fun from pincers, hammers, and even aprons. This is located on the Dubai International Marine Club.

It is an underwater bar and restaurant and it has glass panels from the floor toward the ceiling located at the Atlantis, the Palm that offers you a view of 65,000 fish swimming in the Ambassador Lagoon.

Pierchic
When you are on the Jumeirah beach or the Al Qasr hotel, you can find the warehouse-style façade of the Pierchic out there over the waves and on wooden stilts. It looks like an Arabian ranch, but it is a first-rate fish restaurant. You have to pass by the long private pier or ride the golf cart. Don’t miss out on yellow-fin tuna, oysters, and sea scallops.
