Ibn AlBahr

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

If you were to close your eyes and imagine a seafood restaurant, this would be it. The nautical striped detailing, the fish murals, the fishing rods doubling up as pendant lights, the tables that spill out onto a patio overlooking the azure Arabian Gulf… there can be no question this Lebanese seafood eatery at Palm Jumeirah’s Club Vista Mare is beside the seaside (there’s a second outpost at Dubai Creek). It’s owned by working fishermen, so whatever comes to your table has likely been freshly landed. And what a fish feast it is, from bottarga to bizri, tajen samak to lobster thermidor, prawn cocktail to perfectly grilled octopus. Alternatively, you’re invited to choose your seafood from the glistening display counter and have it cooked your way: caper-lemon style or grilled in sea salt? And what sauce will you choose? The seafood tower (lobster, oysters, shrimps, mussels and king fish ceviche) is for those who really want to make waves.
