With gorgeous weather and beautiful views, Dubai is a city that offers endless alfresco activities. The Jumeirah Al Qasr hotel is one of the most recognisable in the city, and now, you can discover the south of France right there at La Plage, a beautiful beach deck restaurant.

La Plage is an extension of already-successful restaurant, French Riviera. The gorgeous terrace sits right out on the beach, with captivating views of the Arabian Gulf and the iconic Burj Al Arab, and takes you to Côte D’Azur with a French-Mediterranean menu.

The sun-dappled terrace the perfect spot for sundowners, long leisurely lunches basking in the Dubai sunshine and memorable dinners, with a DJ playing tracks on a weekend. The menu is brought to you by Head Chef Kim Joinié-Maurin, with a selection of delectable dishes to suit an ambient atmosphere.
