Alici

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

With olive trees in cobalt pots, snowy linen and blue-and-white striped chairs, this ritzy spot has the airy chicness of a villa on the Amalfi coast. Time your visit to sunset for an aperitivo on the terrace as you watch the mega yachts and jet skis on Dubai Marina blush fiery pink, before heading inside for sustainably caught seafood fresh from the Mediterranean. Menus showcase the best of Southern Italian cuisine: start with an impressive crudo selection – oysters, tuna carpaccio, beluga caviar – before working your way through the traditional four courses. Homemade pastas are a real highlight, in particular spaghetti with sea urchin, amberjack and zingy Amalfi lemon zest, or the handmade potato gnocchi topped with fresh, hand-picked Devon crab. By Dubai standards, the wine list is well‑priced, and the cocktail menu brims with thirst‑quenching concoctions perfect for sipping while taking in that spectacular view.
