Nestled along the famous Turtle Lagoon and luxurious surroundings, Beefbar is back in Dubai to enhance the culinary scene. Live the Beefbar experience with perfectly cooked beef cuts and international street food to share in Jumeirah Al Naseem.

Riccardo Giraudi doesn’t do steaks the classical way. Beefbar isn’t a steakhouse, it is a luxury & cosmopolite destination in a chilled atmosphere. The menu features elevated street food such as smoked Kobe beef bao bun, Kobe & Angus shawarma with tahini, beef ribeye prosciutto & many more.

Dubai Hills

About the restaurant

Dubai’s first and only all-vegetarian degustation fine dining experience. Also caters to vegan and gluten-free diets on request.
The menu is inspired by humble seasonal ingredients, that are pure, clean, natural, and energy-containing. The cuisine uses fresh produce and dairy products from local farms. The restaurant is driven by the culinary maestro, Chef Rahul Rana, who has a rich background in curating vegetarian and patisserie concepts in culinary arts. The menu at AVATARA will showcase a modern avatar of the techniques, philosophy, and story of soulful Indian food. Indian cuisine was originally predominantly vegetarian. However, the perceptions around vegetarian food have been that of limitations. The idea is to break through these perceptions and curate a unique vegetarian fine dining experience.

Great place, lovely ambiance and eclectic food! Think they could do better instead of having one only one option of an 18 quart meal will be great to have an option of a 10 course meal or something like that.

Didn’t have food, just drinks after our prime 68 visit but was surprised with a cake and candle for my wife’s birthday which was nice. Noticed a couple request different seating due to people smoking which I know is allowed in Dubai but seats are quite close to other tables. Was a dj playing but I felt the music was too loud as having to speak very loud, close to shout having a conversation which isn’t ideal. Good selection of food and drink available and service was good as well as decoration of the venue
