12 of the most unique restaurants in Dubai
,Dubai doesn't do boring, especially not when it comes to restaurants. Sure, the city's packed with world-class dining spots, but if you're in the mood for something a little unexpected (read: eating spaghetti while suspended in the sky, or biting into a sandwich on a manmade ski slope), we've got you covered. From the wildly weird to the wonderfully whimsical, these unique restaurants are anything but ordinary. Buckle up, it's going to be a deliciously bizarre ride.

Credit: Al Dawaar Revolving Restaurant Choosing where to sit in a restaurant is high-stakes stuff, and we're not embarrassed to admit we've wandered from window to window multiple times, sat down and then ended up moving again. But at Al Dawaar Revolving Restaurant, you don't have to worry about choosing the best view of Dubai, as it's guaranteed to come to you. In the 90 minutes it takes to rotate the entire way around, you'll get to enjoy 360-degree views of Deira and beyond as you tuck into classic buffet dishes. We will admit, that the novelty does wear off (it's the city's only revolving restaurant for a reason), but the views from the 25th floor make this spot well worth a visit at least once. Mon-Fri, 6.30pm-11.30pm; Sat-Sun 12.30-4pm, 6.30pm-11.30pm. Hyatt Regency Dubai, Deira Corniche (04 209 6912). Dubai (Credit: Pexels) Located on the 122nd floor of Burj Khalifa and known for its super views, Atmosphere has long been a destination of choice for afternoon tea, evening drinks and fancy dinners. The venue features a restaurant, along with a relaxed lounge and bar area. The more casual lounge serves up international cuisine, including tasty bites and small-portion meals. Atmosphere is open throughout the day, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the restaurant, and breakfast, high tea, and dinner in the lounge. Visitors to Atmosphere can expect to sample the likes of foie gras, billionaire sliders, braised wild mushrooms, oysters on ice, Wagyu tomahawk, blue lobster and much more.

Make sure you end your meal with hot chocolate, which comes topped with whipped cream and mini marshmallows. Open daily 8.30am-midnight. Mall of the Emirates (04 409 4228). Blume All the glamour of the Orient Express… but make it Dior. Tucked inside Dubai Mall, Blume is a luxe dining spot that's styled like a vintage train carriage, complete with plush Dior-print cushions, glossy brass fittings and artfully stacked designer luggage by the door. It's all very extra, and we're here for it. The menu is as globe-trotting as the décor, with dishes spanning the Middle East, Asia and Europe. Think caviar, sushi, raw bites, grills, pasta, pizza and just about everything in between. A perfect pitstop for fashion lovers with an appetite. Open daily 10am-1am. Fashion Avenue, Dubai Mall (04 547 6444). Dinner in the sky The most unique restaurants in Dubai. Credit: Dinner in the Sky Ever thought of dining on a table that's suspended by a crane 50 metres high up in the sky? Even if you haven't, in Dubai it's still an option. The menu includes a selection of high-end dishes and views of the entire city. You'll be safely strapped into a chair and can watch each course be prepared by chefs up in the sky. The whole experience takes about 90 minutes. Definitely one you won't forget. The Dinner in the Sky table can seat a maximum of 22 people per session. From Dhs650. Daily 2pm-3.30pm, 3.30pm-5pm, 5pm-6.30pm, 6.30pm-8pm, 8pm-9.30pm and 9.30pm-11pm. Al Sufoh, next to Zero Gravity (058 819 3296).

The restaurant collides with visual art with fine dining. Here, you'll be able to experience dinner surrounded by paintings of international artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You won't be seated in a regular dining room; it's more of an auditorium with a large circular table for 20 diners, with a pixel-perfect 3D multimedia performance projected across the curved walls and flashed over the table. Every act of the gastro-performance matches each course on the set menu. Definitely an unusual Dubai restaurant. From Dhs1,500. Daily at 6pm and 8pm. Address Downtown Hotel, Downtown Dubai (04 433 1258). Navat Tired of dining with humans? Head to Navat in Downtown Dubai, where your dinner date can be a giant teddy bear. No, seriously. Every table comes with a life-sized plush toy. The café serves up Central Asian comfort food (think: manti dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, buttery boorsok) alongside iced lattes shaped like bear heads and cakes that are almost too cute to eat. It's kitsch, it's cosy, it's a little unhinged, but in the best way. Whether you're in it for the carbs, the cuddles, or the Instagram, Navat is one of Dubai's unique restaurants. Open daily from 8am-3am. Standpoint Residences, Downtown Dubai, @navatdubai_ (056 879 2607). Pierchic The most unique restaurants in Dubai.

Arrive by buggy, stroll down the pier, and settle in for a memorable meal surrounded by water. The menu by chef Beatrice Segoni features elegant seafood pastas, raw dishes, grilled octopus and creamy burrata. It's romantic, refined, and seriously photogenic. Pricey?

Credit: T-Rex Adventure Café Can I get a roar roar? Dubai's first dinosaur-themed restaurant has stomped into Riverland in December 2024, and it's as wild as it sounds. At T-Rex Adventure Café, life-like raptors lurk between tables, jungle vines hanging from the ceiling, and the dino crew (including Chef Rex himself) brings Jurassic vibes to every bite. Themed dishes like the Caesar Saladasaur, Dino-mite prawns, and Triceratops penne make it a hit with kids and grown-up dino nerds. Don't miss the nightly 'Dino Mania' show at 8pm.
