Carnivale (Jumeirah Beach Hotel)
This cute Italian terrace is one of the best casual European dining spots in Dubai. Choose your typical pizza or pasta, or get adventurous with Tuscany Panzanella, Ferron risotto, or, as they say, simply the best tiramisu you can get outside Italy.

Alfie’s (Emirates Towers)
One for the boys, this. Alfie’s British restaurant in described as having an ‘elegant, muscular design’, while the Jumeirah Restaurant Week menu packs a punch, too. Ham and Eggs, Pint Size Sundae and Cut O’ Dirt are all up for grabs.

Rib Room (Jumeirah Zabeel Saray)
Try somewhere brand-spanking new. Sure, we’ve all tried and love the Emirates Towers original (and you can eat there, too, this Jumeirah Restaurant Week), but head round The Palm to Jumeirah Zabeel Saray for more succulent steaks, seafood and, of course, ribs.

Rivington Grill (Souk Al Bahar)
Dubai might well still be in mourning for the sudden closure of the Souk Madinat outlet, but classic British fare is still available at Souk Al Bahar. Braissed Lamb Shank is the pick of the bunch of main course options but the Green Pea Soup, and Rhubarb Burnt Cream are equally delicious.

360 (Jumeirah Beach Hotel)
One of Dubai’s most iconic night spots, did you know 360 also does a mean menu. This Jumeirah Restaurant Week choose from a selection of Asian-inspired dishes, like Yong Chow Fried Rice, Grilled Lobster Tale and Vietnamese Spring Rolls.
