EL&N One of the original Instagrammable cafés, EL&N, which first found popularity in London, came to Dubai at the start of 2022. EL&N has been the blueprint for many an Instagram-worthy dining venue and the UAE edition of the social media famous café does not disappoint. The picture-perfect venue is second to none with stunning watercolour paintings framed by artificial blooms hanging on the walls and luminous lighting. Glossy and gorgeous, EL&N makes you feel as if you have stepped into a girlie oasis as a candy-striped island greets you below a fringed chandelier as you walk in. Open daily 8am-midnight. Gate Village 2, Trade Centre, DIFC, Dubai, (04 770 0222). Forever Rose If you are looking for somewhere that is going to make your followers do a double take then head to Forever Rose. The monochrome interior has been crafted to make the venue appear like a 2D drawing with the help of clever tricks that fool the eye. Pretty cool, right? Founder of Forever Rose, Ebraheem Al-Samadi, was inspired by a storybook theme for the unique café and the black and white backdrop allows the colourful food on the menu to pop even more so than usual. Open Mon-Thu 8am-midnight, Fri-Sun 8am-1am. Boxpark Dubai. (04 548 4210).

Already taking social media by storm, the spot in Al Quoz Pond Park lives up to the hype, but be prepared to wait a while for a table (it's a popular spot). If you're searching for something savoury, don't sleep on the dreamy egg and biscuit sandwich. Open Mon-Thu 7am-10pm, Fri-Sun 7am-11pm. Al Quoz Pond Park, Al Quoz @eatlazycat (04 345 2542). NETTE Credit: NETTE Super-cool coffee shop NETTE is tucked away inside Matcha Club, making it ideal for a post-padel breakfast or catch-up coffee. Dig into overnight oats, egg sando or a Japanese breakfast skillet in the morning and later in the day, turn your attention to a miso croquet madam or yuzu ponzu crispy salmon. A hip place that's perfect for a chilled-out coffee and one of the best cafés in Dubai. Need to pose? Strike your best just outside in front of the leafy green and orange court (it's a sick backdrop). Open daily 8am-10pm. Match Club, Al Quoz, @nettedxb (04 548 8369). Saya Brasserie Café Diners are immersed into a pink aesthetic as soon as they walk through the door at Saya Brasserie. Rows of faux flowers line the walls and drape from the ceiling, potted plants transformed from green to pink (with the help of lots of spray paint) are dotted around and velvet chairs upholstered in pink velvet fill the trendy café. Without a doubt the interior designers who put together the place are fans of the rosy tone, as well as glittering gold – which is the secondary colour that features throughout. Be sure to grab a snap as you perch on a plush couch alongside flamingo statues below a flower arch before or after you enjoy one slurp on a saffron Spanish latte or milk oolong tea. Open daily 9am-1am. City Walk, Al Wasl (050 541 8373). Secret Garden by LÉTO One thing is for sure, Secret Garden is no secret to the social-media-savvy crowd in Dubai. Full of frills and florals, snap-happy diners can combine their best poses with picture-perfect meals. Everything on the menu features extra special touches to ensure they make it onto the 'gram; the fruit juices come to the table inside a light bulb-shaped glass and edible golden flakes are sprinkled atop the indulgent crepes. Open Sun-Thu 9am-11pm, Fri-Sat 9am-11.30pm. City Walk. (04 876 7508). Vibe Café Filling your feed with food content is easy if visiting Vibe Café. Photograph the slim thicc pizza that has a ruby coloured base thanks to its beetroot and cauliflower base. Not only does it look special but it is a super healthy alternative to regular dough pizza. Or maybe you will decided to dig into the eggs benedict served on pink fluffy muffins and drizzled with millennial pink sauce. The décor is just as pretty as the food with bubble gum coloured pineapple ornaments standing on each table, while palm trees and foliage line the windows as neon signs light-up the space. Open daily 8am-10pm. Gate Avenue ,DIFC. (04 333 6400).

Alexandra Miller on IWD: Founder of EL&N London on creating the world's most Instagrammable café
EL&N London is picture-perfect. In 2017, the first café opened on Park Lane, London. At the time, visitors would come from around the world, and take a photo by the fantastically floral wall. Today, they can do this closer to home, as there are more than 32 stores in locations ranging from Dubai to Doha. Founder Alexandra Miller was born in the United States, lived in Egypt and is now based in London. In honour of International Women's Day, she shared her story on combining beauty with business. All our stores around the globe have a unique charm about them. We really try to keep the brand design and menu consistent when we open a new store, but at the same time, we like to have some fun with localising the brand to suit the demographic. For example, our brand colour palette will always tie the stores together. We switch up our slogans to have a nod back to the relevant country – from London to Dubai is always a popular one. We disrupted the café culture scene in such a way that some people felt we were prioritising aesthetics over our core product. I believe that the brand entered the market at a unique time. The core consumer didn't know how to feel about a food and beverage brand as visual as ours. It encouraged us to work harder and find the perfect balance between style and substance. Our guest always comes first. Ensuring the menu and customer experience matched our beautiful interiors was imperative. It's been one of the driving forces for growth across the globe. I have the opportunity to work among such a talented team. I lead with creativity and vision in an industry that's so heavily known for setting trends. Our brand is diverse, and we are incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with likeminded individuals that I learn from. Every day brings a new challenge. This makes this role rewarding. As a team, we all felt an incredible sense of pride and excitement with our final international opening. The first store we opened outside of the UK was in Doha, Qatar. It still remains absolutely stunning. It's adorned with our iconic feather wing swing and so many beautiful picture-perfect moments. It was a milestone that really helped showcase our global vision and solidified the universal appeal of EL&N's unique concept. Every new opening is monumental, and we will never take it for granted. I can't reveal much. This is probably going to be the most monumental year yet for EL&N. We are gearing up to launch in a market that we have been eager to enter. We have so many fantastic openings coming up in existing countries and new territories. We have a new sister brand and unique collaborations around the globe. I've learnt along the way to be bold and confident. If it's something you believe in, don't be afraid to pursue your dreams. Embrace the creativity and stay resilient through challenges. There will always be challenges along the way, but it's how you overcome them and learn from them that builds your DNA. Support each other, support your colleagues and don't give up on the hard days. There is room for everyone to shine in business. GO: Visit for more information.
