LPM Restaurant & Bar
A stalwart of Dubai’s fine dining scene, LPM Restaurant & Bar brings the spirit of the French Riviera to DIFC with a menu inspired by the cuisine of Nice and the Mediterranean coast. But if you don’t find yourself in DIFC, you can also get a taste of their fine Mediterranean fare at home. Two classics to try are the warm prawns served bubbling in olive oil, and the salt-baked seabass with artichokes and tomatoes, a simple yet elegant dish that showcases Mediterranean flavours.
Kinoya
A Michelin Bib Gourmand favourite, Kinoya reimagines the traditional Japanese izakaya experience in Dubai with a menu centred around expertly crafted ramen and comforting small plates.The shio ramen is the signature bowl, built around a delicate, slow-simmered broth and springy noodles. Also worth ordering is the miso ramen, a chicken broth with spicy miso tare. Both are available on Deliveroo, and arrive as self-cooking kits for you to make up as you like at home.
Il Borro Tuscan Bistro
Bring a taste of one of Dubai’s best Italian restaurants to your dining table with a delivery from Il Borro. They only serve a select number of dishes that they know travel well on Deliveroo, so you know you’ll get as close to that straight-from-the-Tuscan-Hills feel in your order as possible. Order pastas such as truffle tagliatelle, angel hair lobster pasta, pizzas like buffalo mozzarella or prawn and porcini mushroom, and even their signature cheesecake for dessert.
SHI
On Bluewaters, SHI serves up a glamorous take on modern Chinese dining inspired by the culinary traditions of Hong Kong and Shanghai. The restaurant focuses on elevated Asian flavours prepared with premium ingredients, which is exactly what you get when you order from their takeaway menu. Forget your typical Chinese takeaway, this is seriously elevated Asian dining. Think snow crab dumplings, slow-cooked roasted duck leg and wok-seared lamb chops.
CQ Brasserie
This cosy JLT favourite channels the charm of a classic French neighbourhood bistro with a polished Dubai twist. Expect timeless brasserie cooking – rich sauces, generous portions and comforting classics that travel well if you’re ordering in. It’s no surprise that the brand’s beloved steak frites – complete with special-recipe sauce, is one of Deliveroo’s most popular dishes.
The Robata by Takahisa
From the team behind one of the city’s most respected Japanese dining concepts, The Robata by Takahisa specialises in robata grilling, a traditional Japanese cooking style that uses charcoal to impart smoky depth to premium ingredients. Among the highlights, try the Atsugiri Wagyu tongue, ozaki beef sirloin steak, or unagi tare yaki, all available via the restaurant’s online platform.
Beefbar
With roots in Monte Carlo, Beefbar has become an international destination for high-end meat lovers, and the Dubai outpost continues the tradition with premium beef sourced from around the world, including Black Angus, Wagyu and Japanese Kobe. Instead of a traditional steakhouse approach, the menu mixes luxury cuts with playful global street-food influences. Don’t miss the cult-favourite Beefbar shawarma, filled with Angus and Wagyu beef and served with a signature tahini sauce.
Lana Lusa
At Lana Lusa, Portuguese comfort food meets contemporary Mediterranean flair. The restaurant celebrates traditional recipes and soulful flavours, offering a menu built around seafood, grilled meats and nostalgic Iberian dishes. The bacalhau à brás — Portugal’s beloved salted cod dish with eggs, onions and crispy potatoes — is a must. Another standout is the peri-peri chicken, smoky and spicy with a tangy chilli marinade.
