Restaurants

Head to Karam Beirut for Arabic food that is consistently tasty and always a good value. Light dishes of mezze, salads and hummus are standout dishes, though you’ll be just as pleased with the mains, which include standard mixed grills and kebabs. Authentic Lebanese drinks are also available as well as pastries and desserts, all in a sophisticated Arabic-themed atmosphere.

Head to The Meydan’s stylish restaurant Farriers for a brunch with free-flowing drinks, live jazz and a kids club. On other days, dine in the bright, airy interior or on the trackside terrace. Sample delicious signature dishes courtesy of vast interactive buffet stations. Once you’re done, head for the hotel’s Shiba lounge, where brunchers can enjoy discounts on drinks.

Head to Claypot for an entertaining evening of Indian food and music. The orange, red and deep brown decor reflects the rich spices found in Indian cuisine, with tapestries adorning the walls to give warmth and character. The menu features dishes from Northern India, with the Rogan-e-Claypot and the dal makhani coming well recommended. To add to the evening’s entertainment, there’s a band playing Bollywood songs and music on request.

Transport yourself from the heat of the city to to the cool, mountain slopes of the Alps at this chalet-style bar and restaurant. Aptly named Apres, this chilled venue offers fabulous views over Ski Dubai’s surreal, indoor runs and has a resident DJ to entertain you. The off-piste restaurant has an array of tempting dishes, with friendly staff on hand to serve up fresh food and novel, frozen drinks.

With a warm interior and varied menu, all-day dining restaurant Sanabel is a good choice when you are feeling peckish throughout the day. Start by filling your plate from the salad and mezze buffet before moving on to a la carte mains including Sanabel Curry of the Day, Yellow Fin Tuna and Rib Eye Steak. Polish it all off by visiting the tempting Dessert Cabinet and taking your pick from the sweet delicacies on offer.

Head to Shiba if you love Asian food, but can’t decide between Indian, Chinese, Japanese or Thai. The fusion menu contains popular dishes from all the cuisines, giving you the chance to try plenty of different flavours as you move through the courses. Try Thai Satay and Chinese Peking Duck as an appetiser before moving onto an Indian curry for the main, and finishing with Japanese Fruit Tempura for a dessert. The elegant decor will also impress.
