Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach stands out as a remarkable destination for food lovers, in a city bursting at the seams with exceptional restaurants. Located on the coast between Jumeirah Beach and Mercato Beach, the property is home to ‘Restaurant Village’, a captivating complex that brings together some of Dubai’s most acclaimed dining destinations in one luxurious waterfront setting. Read on to discover the finest restaurants at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach.
Sea Fu
Chef Marcel Finsterer brings an almost childlike enthusiasm and curiosity to the kitchen, showcased by his previous experience at two Michelin-starred restaurants. This Michelin-recommended restaurant focuses primarily on Asian seafood – as you might have surmised from the name – and comes with the option of either indoor or outdoor dining. The immaculate terrace is best enjoyed in the winter months when the weather is at its most desirable.
Where the food is concerned, Sea Fu functions as a passport to Japan’s finest waters; a sushi-focused journey around the country’s most revered coastal regions and their rich culinary traditions. Sushi Platter, Sushi Roll and Nama menus give way to a Main Menu boasting exquisite dishes like the Spanish Red Mullet Fillet and the Sea Fu Black Cod, while those with a taste for prime Japanese Wagyu are taken care of through the sumptuous Grilled Wagyu Beef Tenderloin and the Grilled Wagyu Beef Striploin.
With plenty of other immaculate dishes, plus delectable dessert options, guests are also urged to consider the Sea Fu Tasting Menu – a multi-course degustation option featuring six inviting dishes, which invite you to indulge in the flavours of the water while the serene waves of the nearby ocean lap against the shoreline.
Mercury Rooftop
An elevated social dining scene for after-hours revelry, Mercury Rooftop functions as a place where Dubai’s discerning residents come to graze on some of the most delightful seasonal dishes in town. Complemented by a comprehensive cocktail menu, guests can unwind beneath the city skyline, lingering late into the night with expertly crafted drinks long after the last bite.
With an adventurous Raw menu featuring mouth-watering bites such as the Oscietra Caviar and the Trio Ceviche, the establishment also boasts a Sharing Bites menu, ideal for those romantic date nights. In a similar vein as Sea Fu, there is a strong focus on seafood at Mercury Rooftop, which presents a fine selection of Asian-inspired mains such as the 24-piece Mercury Grand Platter. The zenith of this impeccable menu, however, is surely the Australian Wagyu Beef Tomahawk AA, served with Grilled Asparagus, Steak Fries, Beef Jus and Barbeque Sauce.
Coya
This exquisite, Michelin-recommended Peruvian restaurant brings the Inca-inspired flavours of South America to the shores of Dubai. Its innovative dishes and pisco-infused creations expertly capture the vibrant spirit of Lima’s culinary scene, resulting in one of the most authentic Peruvian experiences this side of Machu Picchu.
Set in an expansive space which benefits from verdant greenery and is flooded with natural light thanks to full-height windows, Coya offers guests a carefully crafted menu which blends the traditions of old Peru with the modern flair of contemporary gastronomy. An expressive Incan Supper Menu and a Saturday Brunch Menu support a comprehensive à la carte menu showcasing Peruvian classics such as the Signature Ceviche Platter and the exquisite Whole Grilled Lobster. A Degustation Menu and a Luxury Menu for two further enhance the feeling of exclusivity at this exceptional eatery.
Light, healthy dishes are the remit at Coya, the ideal preparation for an evening spent exploring the restaurant’s extensive collection of signature pisco innovations. It’s a culinary experience that highlights the spirit of discovery itself – a sentiment perfectly captured by Anthony Bourdain, who once noted: “A prophet once said: ‘Don’t tell me what a man says, don’t tell me what a man knows. Tell me where he’s travelled.’ I wonder about that… Does travel bring wisdom? I think there is probably no better place to find that out than Peru.”
Jou Jou Brasserie
Mediterranean sophistication permeates this charming addition to Four Seasons’ Restaurant Village, which offers two distinct settings: the chic dining room or the breezy terrace – both of which form the ideal backdrop for leisurely lunches, elegant dinners, and memorable moments shared over exquisite cuisine.
With an expansive menu which traverses the joys of French, Spanish and Italian cuisine, Jou Jou Brasserie presents sharing Apertivo boards for two, a delightful lunch menu with classics like the Beef Ravioli and an a la carte menu for the ages. The Gambas (sauteed white prawns in lobster butter, garlic purée and basilicata crusco pepper) is a particular highlight from the Hot Starters menu, while the Dover Sole Meuniere stands out for its tender ocean flavours merged with an exquisite lemon brown butter sauce.
This captivating addition to the Four Seasons dining portfolio further benefits from a dessert menu helmed by the intrepid Senior Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas Lambert. Drawing on a slew of accolades – including being named Pastry Chef of the Year 2022 by Gault & Millau – Lambert highlights his artistry and flair for reimagining classic French pâtisserie with inventive, contemporary twists.
Mimi Kakushi
‘The best Japanese Restaurant in Dubai’ according to the restaurant itself, Mimi Kakushi draws on the spirit of 1920s Osaka, when the city was just opening up to Western influence. As such, the menu expertly blends the time-honoured traditions of East Asian fare with new, innovative thinking, serving some of the most iconic Japanese dishes – infused with Eurocentric elements you will know and love.
As expected, an expansive sushi menu makes up the lion’s share of the menu, encompassing classics such as Nigiri, Maki Rolls and Tempura, while the Kobe and Japanese Wagyu section is brimming with flavour and elegance. The 50g Oscietra Caviar brings further sophistication, in addition to a refined Seafood menu which offers delectable dishes like the King Crab Leg in Ponzo Butter and Red Kosho. The Wagyu Tomahawk in Seaweed Butter stands as the pinnacle of the Meats and Poultry section, offering a sublime balance of rich, marbled beef and delicate, umami-infused butter that elevates every bite for an unforgettable culinary experience.
Scalini
The centuries-old gastronomic traditions of Italy are on display for all to see at Scalini, where a comprehensive menu allows guests to savour the tastes of the Italian peninsula, from hearty rustic classics to refined regional specialities.
An art deco interior exudes a subtle charm reminiscent of the trattorias of Sicily, while the restaurant itself perfectly encapsulates the very essence of Italian dining. This serene establishment presents a comprehensive breakfast menu complete with favourites such as Avocado Toast and Truffle Scrambled Eggs, while the Uova Al Caviale (Sunny-side up eggs topped with caviar) is undeniably the most exquisite option.
Two Antipasti menus support expansive Pizza and Pasta menus, the highlight of which is arguably the Tartufo (Creamy sauce and truffle pizza) and the Spaghetti All’astice (Signature spaghetti with half lobster in tomato sauce).
Whatever you decide on, be sure to leave some room for a treat from the Dolci Fatti In Cases menu – the Pistachio lava cake with Pistachio Gelato being one of the most popular choices.
Verde
Chic Parisian fare arrives in Dubai through the incomparable Verde, which showcases a dining concept refined on the boulevards of the French capital. Brought to the city by the same group that took Paris by storm through Verde Paris, Executive Chef Kanchana in Dubai has excelled at curating an avant-garde menu full of warmth and sophistication.
Drawing on a classic French Hors d’oeuvres menu to open proceedings – which includes an exceptional pan-fried foie gras – the menu continues to impress with a pasta and pizza selection; a nod to Italian culinary traditions, showcasing the delightful interplay where French refinement meets Italian heartiness.
Moving away from land, the From The Sea section boasts a sophisticated Whole Seabass wrapped in vine leaves and served with a sumptuous tomato relish. The Exceptional Meat menu proves to be exactly that, with a delicious Lamb Shoulder and Angus Ribeye serving as refined options. However, the exquisite 1.2 kg Tomahawk is in a league of its own; its signature long bone and intense marbling delivering an unrivalled level of decadence.
Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach is undeniably one of the city’s leaders when it comes to exceptional dining options. With a range of cuisines covered across its multiple outlets, visitors and residents alike are well taken care of, meaning every culinary desire – whether refined, adventurous, or comfort-driven – can be catered for while taking in breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline, all within a setting of incomparable sophistication.
