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

Unlock quirky cuisine at Parker’s

Get inspired by the fun wanderlust theme, shaded terrace, all-day treats and sea-fresh decor at Parker's in La Mer. Whether you are looking for eggs sunny-side up, exotic acai bowls, or delicious sharing plates, you can find it all here. Don't miss out on local favourites such as spicy toffee shrimps and signature street fries, and save some space for quirkily-named desserts such as Pull Me and Lotus Drama.
Savour Emirati twists at SIKKA

Take a seat by the sea at La Mer and enjoy myriad flavours from Arabia, including Emirati food with Indian and Persian influences. Try the SIKKA chicken tikka manakish, topped with butter chicken sauce, chicken tikka and gooey cheese. If you are a vegetarian, go for the khameer bread sandwich, stuffed with fresh chickpea-based falafel, lemon, tomato and rocca leaves.
Relish Aussie-inspired bites at Jones the Grocer

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.
