A Mediterranean-modern restaurant with panoramic views of Burj Al Arab and the Arabian Gulf. There's a stunning terrace and a cosy, well-designed indoor space that feels just as easy to love. The setting takes cues from the Amalfi Coast – think olive trees, lemon accents, and a laid-back energy that works from day to night. And when the food lands, the same attention to detail carries through. If you love burrata, order the Burrata Pomodori – authentic, perfectly creamy, and almost addictive.
Location: Jumeirah Mina Al Salam, Jumeira St, Al Sufouh 1, Dubai

Contact: 800 323232 | @calavistadubai Rang Mahal
Set on the fourth floor of JW Marriott Marquis in Business Bay, Rang Mahal is one of Dubai's go‑to spots for refined Indian food done right. The space impresses – dramatic columns, moody lighting, and striking hand-painted artworks, but it's the food that holds your attention. The menu spans North and South Indian classics. If you go, ask for a corner table by the glass – it overlooks the Dubai Canal and catches the sunset just right – and order the chicken tikka, smoky and perfect straight from the tandoor, rich in marination and char.
Location: JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, Business Bay
Times: Daily, 6pm to 12am
Cost: Chicken Tikka Dhs95–115

Iliana nails authentic Greek food in a stunning Mediterranean setting – seaside elegance meets relaxed fine dining. It's ideal for anything from a laidback lunch to a long dinner, all set against views over Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. The menu features all the classic favourites. If there's one dish to try, go for the Mykonian truffle linguine – made simply with Arseniko cheese, ground black pepper and just a hint of truffle.

US-Japan trade deal guarantees lowest tariff rates for chips, pharma, Japanese official says
29 July 2025 14:56 TOKYO (REUTERS)Japan's leading trade negotiator said on Tuesday that the trade deal Tokyo agreed with the United States last week guarantees Japan will always receive the lowest tariff rate on chips and pharmaceuticals of all the pacts negotiated by Washington."If a third country agrees with the United States on lower rates on chips and pharmaceuticals, those lower rates would apply to Japan," Ryosei Akazawa told a news European Union secured a 15% baseline tariff as part of a framework trade deal with the US this week, averting looming new tariffs on chips and last week struck a trade deal with the US that lowers tariffs on cars and other goods to 15% in exchange for a US-bound $550 billion Japanese investment package, including equity, loans, and why there has been no joint statement on the agreement, Akazawa said Japan is prioritising having President Donald Trump sign an executive order to bring the agreed 15% tariff rate into effect. "We want to concentrate our efforts on getting the tariffs lowered first, and then we can consider whether an official document on the agreement is necessary," he said.
