This buzzing restaurant at Dubai International Financial Centre is incredibly popular, and deservedly so. The jungle-esque décor is on point and will make you feel as though you’re deep in the rainforest, travelling along the Amazon River.

Internationally renowned artist Lázaro Rosa-Violan's design touch is visible across the venue. And the space has plenty of seating spread across three floors, including a rooftop terrace and a long sushi counter surrounded by tribal patterns and woven-hessian lamps.

The dishes, meanwhile, are just as impressive as this larger than life dining destination looks. They have a separate sushi menu, but there’s also a long list of creative Latin American plates, with some quirky additions like fried frog legs alongside traditional favourites like slow-cooked short ribs. Regulars tend to gravitate towards their plates of expertly grilled meats and steaks. On weekdays, you can also try their three or four course Business Lunch that showcases signature dishes at a very attractive price.

After your meal, make sure you save some space for their heavenly desserts like creamy mango cheesecake and roasted caramel glazed pineapple.

The atmosphere is always upbeat here, no matter where you are seated and which day you visit, as their DJs spin electro-pical tunes every evening. There's a reason why this restaurant secured a place in the MENA's 50 Best restaurants list.
