DUBAI: A relaxed and flavourful Mediterranean lunch awaits this Eid Al Adha at Bab El Bahr, Downtown Dubai’s chic coastal-inspired eatery.
Tucked along Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, the restaurant transforms holiday lunches into vibrant feasts, offering a warm and elegant atmosphere perfect for family gatherings and friendly get-togethers.
Open all day during the Eid break, Bab El Bahr’s lunch experience invites diners to slow down and savour a wide selection of Mediterranean specialities – without the restrictions of a fixed menu. Guests can choose freely from an array of signature dishes, reflecting the season’s emphasis on abundance, sharing, and celebration.
Fresh catch display
At the heart of the offering is Bab El Bahr’s colourful fresh fish counter. Guests can browse the daily catch – including seabass, seabream, and red snapper – before selecting their preferred cooking method: grilled, fried, or baked with herbs and Mediterranean spices. The market-style interaction adds a touch of theatre and personalisation to the meal.
Seafood & specialities
Highlights include Shrimp Fatteh layered with crispy bread, creamy yogurt, and fried eggplant, as well as half-kilo servings of Grilled Large Shrimp. The Lobster Linguine, tossed in rich lobster bisque with garlic, tomato, and parsley, offers indulgence for seafood lovers.
For those seeking meat, the Mixed Grill Tawouk features juicy chicken, kebabs, fries, and garlic sauce.
Laid-back setting
Bab El Bahr maintains a casual yet refined atmosphere. With both indoor and terrace seating, it’s an ideal space to unwind post-prayers or host a lively lunch with loved ones.
