Salvaje Dubai pairs Japanese fusion with prime Burj Khalifa views
If you're after a dash of drama served alongside Burj Khalifa views, Salvaje Dubai is where you'll want to be.
Located inside Address Residences Dubai Opera, this tropical-meets-urban hideout, which means 'wild' in Spanish, offers high-end Japanese fusion cuisine and super fun nights.
With locations in Madrid, Miami, Paris, and beyond, this globally acclaimed spot is a great place to check out when in Dubai, whether you're on a date or a business meeting.
Allow us to paint you a picture.
The dim lighting has a golden glow that flatters just about everyone, while lush interiors and animal-print accents channel a sort of rainforest chic. It's the kind of place you could end up spending your entire night, starting with dinner and ending on the dancefloor.
Helmed by chef Fermín Azkue, Salvaje dishes out Japanese cuisine with a bold Latin American twist.
The menu is divided into Earth, Sea and Farm, but don't expect your standard sushi platter or plain rice bowl. Think truffle mushroom dumplings that are equal parts earthy and indulgent, sea bream ceviche with citrusy zing, and wagyu fried rice that's smoky, rich and just a little addictive.
Each dish is plated with the kind of finesse that makes you pause, take out your phone and grab snaps before anyone at the table can dig in.
The night energy is ineffable – you really have to be there to get it. As the lights dim and the volume rises, the DJ and performers take over, turning the space into a fully immersive experience.
The open bar area keeps the grape and mixed drinks flowing, and the vibe is equal parts stylish supper club and elevated house party.
It's a perfect spot for a low-key dinner date or to spend a great night out with your besties.
Whether you're here for food, to lean into the wild side of Downtown, or just to escape the city's buzz, a trip to Salvaje has to be on the cards. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

Open Wed-Sat 7pm-2am; Sun 7pm-1am; Tue 7pm-3am. Address Residences, salvajedubai.com (052 697 1356).

Gary Lineker attends niece Tia's lavish wedding as fallout with brother Wayne eases
The brothers have reunited on two occasions this summer FEUD OVER? Gary Lineker attends niece Tia's lavish wedding as fallout with brother Wayne eases Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GARY Lineker has been seen attending his niece Tia's lavish wedding as the fallout with his brother Wayne seemingly eases. Back in June, Gary appeared to put his feud with brother Wayne to one side as they partied at a family wedding in Ibiza - and now they have taken yet another step towards putting their rift to bed.

Tia shared the first glimpse of her lavish Mallorca wedding on Instagram on Wednesday - with her uncle clearly in attendance. She tied the knot with husband Harry Agombar, and her uncle Gary was sitting among the guests despite the 17-year feud between the Lineker brothers. Her father Wayne walked her down the alter and linked onto her arm as he did so. Tia looked stunning in a white dress, complete with a veil and huge bouquet of flowers. Her father walked beside her in a dapper black suit. BROTHERS REUNITE Gary was seen sitting among the guests, signalling a truce between the brothers. This was their second reunion in recent weeks. Back in June the former Match of the Day host's son Harry got married. Harry, 31, tied the knot with partner Bella in a luxurious ceremony on the Spanish island of Ibiza. Gary Lineker reveals Match of the Day blunder he made in last-ever appearance for first time in 26 years Spirits were high as all the family celebrated together beneath the sunshine. GARY AND WAYNE'S FEUD The two brothers are believed to have fallen out while Gary was with his second wife Danielle Bux. They travelled to Ibiza to visit Wayne but the trip broke their close relationship, which saw an end to their weekly phone calls. He told The Sun in 2015: "In my opinion, Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. "Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life. "They came to Ibiza in August 2008 and it was really awkward. "I didn't spark with Danielle and our relationship was cold." Wayne was Gary's best man at his first wedding to Michelle Cockayne in 1986. But the club owner did not attend as the ex-BBC host tied to knot with Danielle because his invite did not extend to his girlfriend at the time Ana Tanaka. Opening up on the brother's relationship in a recent interview with The Mail, Wayne said: "It's not so good to be honest, we don't really speak very often. "I'll always be his number one fan."

This Oscar-winner's new movie is getting a gala at the London Film Festival
Brendan Fraser's career renaissance has already taken in a Oscar win for his performance in The Whale and now his new movie is getting a big gala at this year's BFI London Film Festival. Rental Family, which stars Fraser as a struggling American actor living in modern-day Tokyo, will be the LFF's American Express gala on Thursday, October 16. Directed by Hikari, the Japanese filmmaker behind Netflix drama 37 Seconds, Rental Family has Fraser's down-and-out thesp finding work with a Japanese rental family company, playing stand-in roles for strangers. 'As he immerses himself in his clients' worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality,' runs the festival's synopsis. 'Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the quiet beauty of human connection.' 'While it's inspired by a real, and sometimes unusual, business in Japan, it's ultimately about people longing for connection, and discovering the meaning of true friendship in modern Tokyo,' says Hikari. The gala takes place at London's Royal Festival Hall, with simultaneous screenings at cinemas across the UK. The 69th BFI London Film Festival runs from October 8-19. Tickets will be on sale to the general public from September 16 via the official LFF site. . .

City Walk restaurants: All 11 restaurants to know at C2
Over the last few months, the team at City Walk has been busy creating a huge 25,000-square-foot licensed area in the heart of the destination called C2 in order to take the destination's foodie offering up a notch (or two). The area is currently home to eight restaurants but will soon be home to around 11 eateries that offer a diverse range of cuisines and dining experiences. Here's your handy guide on all of City Walk's newest restaurants: Baku Café City Walk restaurants. Credit: Baku Café Named after Azerbaijan's vibrant capital, Baku Café is where traditional Azeri flavours meet modern Dubai dining. The sleek spot first welcomed guests in 2017, later making the move to C2 to elevate its game – now with a curated selection of grape to match the menu. You'll find home-style classics done right: fragrant dolma wrapped in tender grape leaves, sizzling lamb saj straight from the pan, crisp and chewy qutabs, and rich, nutty pilaf fsinjan. It's a little slice of Baku, right here in the city. Licensed. C2 Licensed District City Walk (04 299 9081). Brass Monkey City Walk restaurants. Credit: Brass Monkey Quirky entertainment spot Brass Monkey has opened its second Dubai location in City Walk. Expect the same fun vibes as its OG Bluewaters location. The spacious venue boasts plenty of arcade games, retro video games, bowling alleys, pool tables and more. You can also dine on tasty American cuisine, including burgers, wings and much more. A one-stop fun shop for big kids. Licensed. C2 Licensed District City Walk (04 582 2244). Daikan Izakaya City Walk restaurants. Credit: Daikan Izakaya Daikan Izakaya is bringing its legendary ramen and izakaya-sharing dishes to the lively C2 district at City Walk, Dubai.

You'll basically feel like you're on the streets of Tokyo, with a menu that features a wide variety of signature ramen dishes, including smoked shio dashi ramen and a vegetarian option. On their soft opening menu, there are new contemporary dishes like wagyu cheese steak sandwich, lobster pops and crispy tuna bites katsu. More dishes are expected to be added in the near future.

Credit: L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele is probably the most famous pizza chain in the world. The C2 location boasts two floors, Burj Khalifa views and a selection of Italian grape. Pizzas – which range from the minimalist marinara to the burrata-loaded 'Burj Khalifa via traditional Napoletana' – are only briefly waved inside the blistering oven before they're slid onto a plate and served. The pizzeria, which was shortlisted in the Time Out Dubai Awards' Best Pizzeria category, hails from Naples, where hungry tourists queue from 10.30am to be first through the door at its original Italian location. Luckily for us, the Dubai branches serve pizza that is just as tasty. And if it's good enough for Julia Roberts i, it's good enough for us. Licensed.
