Try the famous sliders at Salt
Burger fans have been lining up at this Kite Beach hotspot ever since it brought the food-truck concept to Dubai. Since then, it has evolved into a pop-up, air-conditioned terrace. The menu keeps it simple with classic Wagyu and chicken sliders, perfectly-cooked fries, fresh drinks including pink lemonade, and delicious ice-cream. It's all very, very good but our favourite is the creamy Lotus soft serve.

Treat yourself at Breeze Beach Grill
Plan a fun day out at the Breeze Beach Grill, a popular choice along the pristine strip of beach by Club Vista Mare on Palm Jumeirah. Taste signature dining highlights such as fresh sushi, juicy lamb cutlets, buffalo chicken tenders and beef sliders, while enjoying good tunes, friendly service and a laidback vibe. Remember to head over early in order to grab one of the coveted tables on the sand.

Soak up Palm Jumeirah views at Revo Cafe
Sit back, relax and enjoy a leisurely breakfast with a view. Revo Café at Anantara The Palm serves up vistas of the Arabian Gulf’s shimmering waters, as well as a selection of healthy dishes created using fine and fresh quality ingredients. You’ll be spoilt for choice here with homemade muesli and granola, pancakes, waffles, French toast and scrambled eggs, to name a few. Don’t forget to toast an incredible morning by the beach with a refreshing detox juice blend before taking in the sights around Palm Jumeirah.

Hang ten and then fuel up at Single Fin Cafe
The in-house cafe at Surf House Dubai, Single Fin Cafe is a local favourite for beachside bites – either before or after a refreshing session on the waves. Known for its quality food and brews, the community eatery serves up healthy dishes for all, with a focus on natural ingredients. Whether or not you are a surfer, this welcoming hub on Jumeirah Beach Road is worth a visit for its signature coffee blends, iced teas and homemade desserts. While generous breakfasts are the main attraction, ranging from porridge and pancake specialities to eggs of all kinds and fruit bowls, there's no shortage of delicious lunch and dinner options too.

Relish Aussie-inspired bites at Jones the Grocer
Jones The Grocer is no stranger to Dubai, but its newest location on the picturesque Palm West Beach promenade is a must-visit for those who enjoy coffee with a side of sea, sun and laidback fun. A spot that works for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Aussie-born urban cafe takes pride in its homemade dishes using fresh produce – both locally grown and imported. Enjoy exclusive menu additions at the beachside branch, including hand-tossed wood-fired pizzas with artisan cheese and crab sliders with papaya and mango pickle.

Sample old-school classics at Al Ijaza
A short stroll away from Kite Beach is Al Ijaza, a decades-old cafeteria known to attract tourists and locals alike. It's the perfect place to grab a quick, affordable bite from the much-loved shawarmas and inventive sandwiches. Try the Hassan Mathar, a toasted cheese and garlic chicken wrap, while sipping on any of the amusingly-named juice combos: Dubai Metro, Computer or Abood.

Chill out at LEEN's Casual to Gourmet
Enter trendy vibes at LEEN's, next to the surfing haven Surf House Dubai. Cherish the hip setting, complete with a beachgoer clientele, and menus that feature all-day breakfast, seafood and fresh salads. Highlights include the miso black cod, chimichurri-spiced prawns, grilled seabass, and fresh sushi and sashimi. But you can also grab a bento box to-go and have a picnic on the sands at the nearby Jumeirah Beach. It's so good, LEEN's have opened up new branches across the city, including at Bluewaters Island and Emirates Towers.

Share a meal with friends at Catch22
While more of an all-day restaurant, Catch22 has plenty of laidback cafe vibes. The contemporary beachside spot in the heart of The Beach in JBR offers a unique take on Asian-fusion flavours and international dishes. Head over for a late beach breakfast filled with creative sandwiches, vegan waffle stacks, crepe rolls and more, or enjoy a sunset snack with fresh salads, meaty burgers and fruity drinks to choose from.

Dine on eggy delights at Eggspectation
Start mornings right at Eggspectation at The Beach at JBR, with breakfast classics such as poached eggs, eggs Benedict and light omelettes. There's plenty of other all-day treats on the menu too, including juicy burgers, inventive pastas and tasty flatbreads. For those less peckish, sip on tropical fruit smoothies and healthy green juices, or try the Banana Java drink for a fruity espresso kick.
