24 hours in Downtown Dubai

Start your day at this charming, Emirati-owned restaurant in Downtown Dubai, which provides the perfect people-watching perch as well as Burj Khalifa views on the neighbourhood’s main boulevard. Known for its spiced, traditional teas – we recommend the saffron chai – it also serves up delicious waffles, granola and pancakes, making sure you’re kept fuelled for the day. The house ‘karak breakfast’ is always a popular choice with eggs, zaatar labneh, hummus harissa, mushrooms, toasted bread and more.
