Cala Vista's dining specials offer a taste of Italian summers
Summer calls for straw hats, breezy cotton dresses and strappy sandals – and the perfect restaurant to match the vibe. If you're looking for a spot to dress up in your best summer fit, enjoy a long, leisurely lunch, or sip something cool while gazing out at the sea, Cala Vista should be at the top of your list. This gorgeous Italian restaurant at Jumeirah Mina Al Salam is dialling things up a notch this summer, offering a taste of la dolce vita without stepping out of the cool indoors. From June to September, the team is inviting you to savour summer the Italian way, with two culinary experiences that do more than just feed your appetite. Expect rich flavours, authentic Italian hospitality and stunning sea vistas. Don't miss the breezy Vista Brunch First, you have to block out your Sunday to try Cala Vista's take on the classic Italian Sunday ritual. The Vista brunch offers generous sharing platters, a dash of theatre from the live cooking stations and a roving dessert trolley that'll have you do a double-take. Inspired by head chef Luca Crostelli's childhood memories, it offers comfort dishes and bold flavours passed down through generations. Priced from Dhs375, the brunch is served every Sunday from 12.30pm to 4pm, with indoor seating and views of the sea that are hard to ignore. For quieter evenings, go on an Italian grape journey If a quieter, more contemplative evening is more your pace, the grape pairing menu brings an elegant twist. This five-course dinner comes with a curated selection of grape from across Italy's regions, chosen by Cala Vista's sommelier Pasquale Sommella. Each pairing is designed to tell a story, with dishes curated by head chef Luca that play off the grape's personality. The Dhs550 experience is available daily from 5pm and has vegetarian options, too. You bring the appetite, and they'll handle the rest. Get planning now.

Restaurant review: Mirabelle
A little taste of the Cote d'Azur… At Mirabelle, it's all blue waters, anchored boats, and that effortless kind of luxury you find along the Mediterranean – just with Dubai's own twist. Set by the water at the new Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, it's the kind of place where a leisurely lunch easily flows into sunset drinks. Laid-back yet polished just right, Mirabelle almost makes you forget you're still in the city. Inspired by the Côte d'Azur, the vibe is quietly chic and relaxed – what's not to love? The vibe Mirabelle's outdoor terrace feels like a slice of the Mediterranean by the water, with boats drifting by and a relaxed atmosphere. Inside, the vibe is warm and elegant, offering a more intimate, cosy space. Both options give you a different mood. The chef Chef Sacha Enjalbert, a French native, brings nearly a decade of experience to Mirabelle. Having worked in renowned kitchens across France and the UAE, he's now crafting his own take on Mediterranean cuisine. Sacha's passion for timeless flavours shines through in every dish, offering something simple yet special. The food For starters, we had the Tuna Tartare , a light dish with creamy avocado, piquillo peppers, and croutons (Dhs95), and the Escargots de Bourgogne , cooked in a signature garlic butter and herbs, which was rich and full of flavour (Dhs65 for 6 pcs). The Salmon Gravlax (Dhs90) was a perfect balance of tangy and savoury, a perfect way to start your meal. For mains, we had the Beef Tartare (Dhs130), hand-cut tenderloin beef with homemade French fries that paired perfectly with it. The Chargrilled Lamb Chops (Dhs175), marinated with thyme and lemon, were juicy and tender, served with a creamy mashed potato. The Mediterranean Sea Bass (Dhs175) was another standout, with bouillabaisse, clams, and candied tomatoes, a truly authentic dish. The Roasted Scallops (Dhs175 for 5 pcs), served with a citrus beurre blanc and glazed winter vegetables, were delicate yet packed with flavour. For dessert, we couldn't resist the Orange-infused Crème Brûlée (Dhs35), which was the perfect end to a great meal. Verdict If you love seafood and the laid-back charm of the South of France, Mirabelle is the place to be. A spot that gets seafood right – and where quiet luxury speaks for itself.
