A Guide to the Club Vista Mare Restaurants
Did you know that Palm Jumeirah is the largest man made island in the world? In fact, it’s self-sufficient enough to be a city on its own because it has homes, hotels, malls and of course, a lot of restaurants and bars.
Within Palm Jumeirah are also different developments catering to its growing number of residents and visitors.
Club Vista Mare is one of its newest additions, a sprawling 50,000-square foot beachfront development that’s set to change Dubai’s dining scene. Here are all the Club Vista Mare restaurants for you to try.
Ria Restaurant and Bar

Contact details: +971 54 398 9898

Ria Restaurant and Bar is one of the newer additions to the list of Club Vista Mare restaurants replacing Breeze Beach Bar.
What makes this dining spot special is that it effortlessly combines the luxury of upscale dining with the comforts of a beachside destination. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that you have the Dubai skyline as your background.
For starters, the restaurant is designed to blend in with its surroundings. The decor and furniture are kept in neutral tones to highlight the views, especially if you’re dining al fresco.
Ria also has indoor and outdoor seating, so you have options. But if you want unobstructed views – and a lot of photo opportunities – you should pick a table right by the beach.
Of course, Ria isn’t only impressive because of its aesthetics. Chef Carlos de los Mozos has created a sumptuos menu highlighting Levantine dishes with inspirations from Mediterranean cuisine.
Their linguine seafood pasta and Australian lamb chops are must-tries. But if you want seafood, ask for what’s on offer from their fish counter.
Here, you can buy fresh seafood by the kilo and choose how you want them cooked – fried, grilled or salt-baked.
The restaurant also has a special kids menu for the little ones to enjoy. And if you’re on a health kick, you should try one of their smoothies.
Pro tip:
While Ria promotes upscale dining, it also wants guests to be comfortable and relaxed, especially since the restaurant is by the beach.
So, you’d be glad to know that Ria follows a beach casual dress code. In fact, they encourage guests to wear their best beach attire.
Ibn Al Bahr

Contact details: +971 4 553 9575

When it comes to good seafood, Ibn Al Bahr is an institution in Dubai and undoubtedly one of the best Club Vista Mare restaurants for this reason.
In fact, the restaurant was a Bib Gourmand Michelin Guide winner in 2022 and it’s a highly recommended seafood restaurant by the locals.
But if you’re intimidated to dine at Ibn Al Bahr because of the quality of its food, think again because this restaurant has some of the most affordable seafood that you can find in Dubai.
Ibn Al Bahr’s interiors are kept simple but very comfortable, so guests can feel like they’re dining at home. After all, most of its food is made for sharing to help create that bond, especially among families.
This restaurant specializes in Lebanese cuisine, so you can expect a lot of good flavors using different spices while still keeping the freshness of the seafood.
You have the classics like Fish Tabbouleh, Shrimp Osmalleh, Bottarga and Fried Sardines.
But if you want the full seafood experience, why not catch your own fish? The adventure starts when you catch your own seafood from the big tanks at the restaurant.
Once that’s weighed, you can have it fried, grilled or steamed and your dish will be served with the restaurant’s signature Tahini sauce and lemon, garlic and olive oil sauce.
You can also add a side dish or rice or steamed vegetables or more choice for side sauces.
Now if you’re going all out on this meal, spoil yourself with some lobsters, sea urchins, prawns or crabs cooked your way.
Pro tip:
Are you visiting Ibn Al Bahr on a Tuesday? You’d be glad to know it’s Paella Day, so you can order this classic Spanish dish for two or four just on this day.

Rumba is one of the most unique restaurants in Club Vista Mare – and the rest of Dubai – because it celebrates Cuban cuisine and embraces rumba as a lifestyle and not just a dance.
This restaurant is the brainchild of Alberto Cuello who dreamed of introducing the beauty of rumba to Dubai through good food, a lively environment and of course, a lot of music and dancing.
So, expect nothing less than a Latin party when you step inside Rumba. The space is reminiscent of 1950s Havana that you instantly forget you’re in Palm Jumeirah once you’re inside the restaurant.
As you soak in the ambiance, you can explore the restaurant’s unique menu created by Head Chef Rene Manzanilla and Sous Chef Carlos Pazos.
You may see some familiar dishes, but believe us, you’ll be surprised at how the chefs put a Cuban twist to these favorites.
We especially recommend Guacamole Rumba, Lubina Tiradito, Ceviche Carnival, Pescado Frito En Mole Verde and Masas Fritas.
And no Cuban experience is complete without trying the classic Cubano Sandwich and Tacos de Pulpo.
Of course, you can’t leave without trying one – or more – of Rumba’s signature cocktails like the Cuba Libre, Habana Special and Canchanchara.
Pro tip:
Want to experience Rumba like you’re in 1950s Cuba? Visit the restaurant every Saturday from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM for Barrio Latino where you can enjoy a beverage package starting from AED 250 per person.

Myrra is a Club Vista Mare restaurant inspired by the Greek and Spanish islands in a laidback beach ambiance for the ultimate dining experience.
The indoor dining space combines the rustic vibe of Spanish beachside restaurants and the simplicity of white that’s dominant among Greek dining spots.
But once you step outside, you’ll be greeted with a beachside dining area and a beautiful wooden heart where you can take photos.
Whether you choose to dine indoors or outdoors, we guarantee that you’ll have a grand time feasting on Myrra’s menu.
We love their Grilled Striploin, Salmon Souvlaki, Pollo A La Brasa and Santorini Lobster Spaghetti. But you also need to try their delicious Peinirli freshly made from the wood fired oven.
These dishes will surely make you full, but don’t forget to leave some room for dessert. Try Myrra’s Milopita or Pineapple Carpaccio.
Pro tip:
If you’re dining as a group, order the restaurant’s sharing platters like the Mixed Seafood Paella Fideua and Mixed Grill Platter.
Limonata
Website: https://www.limonatadubai.com/
Address: Club Vista Mare – Palm Jumeirah – Dubai – United Arab Emirates
Contact details: +971 58 140 5777
Operating hours:
- 12:00 PM to 1:00 AM from Sunday to Thursday

Price:
- Approx. AED 320 for two people
Limonata is one of the newest Club Vista Mare restaurants and it’s definitely attracting a lot of visitors, thanks to its 1960s Italian Riviera vibe, good food and fantastic views.
As you would expect, Limonata’s interiors are fresh, bright and well, colorful. It also combines the classic feel of an Italian coastal restaurant with some quirky accents to make it stand out.
But while the indoor space is chic, nothing beats the view of dining at the restaurant’s large outdoor terrace, especially during the winter when the breeze is cool.
If you ask us, however, we’d say that the real gem of Limonata is its food. While its design combines the old and new, its menu celebrates Italian authenticity.
Here, you can enjoy everything from freshly made pizzas, the most indulgent pastas and of course, some fresh salads.
You should also check out the restaurant’s extensive drinks menu to complement your food perfectly.
Pro tip:
Limonata gets easily packed, especially during winter when most people love to dine outdoors because of the warmer weather.
So, if you want to experience this stunning restaurant, it’s best to book a table beforehand.
