The MAINE Oyster Bar & Grill
If you’re a seafood fan, then you’ll be happy here. This award-winning restaurant situated in the Jumeirah Beach Residences area is more than a standard seaside brasserie — with fresh fish, 'steamers' and of course, a raw bar serving seafood towers.
The space flaunts a retro-vintage feel where brasserie aesthetic and New York's Meatpacking district vibe meet. Take a seat indoors for a view of their sprawling exhibition kitchen that displays fresh produce or grab a rattan seat on the terrace.
Tuck into American classics at The MAINE Oyster Bar & Grill
While oysters may be in its name, the range of Maine's expertise doesn't stop with the humble mollusc. The menu at this waterside brasserie showcases a catalogue of dishes paying homage to the kitchens of New England.
Known to be an always happening hangout, regulars love the coleslaw-topped fresh fish tacos, while a caper and lemon marinated octopus shows off the star ingredient. Try their angry lobster pasta or go all out and dig into their special grilled seafood platter. The restaurant also has a small plant-based menu with offerings like cauliflower tacos, buckwheat pasta and a no-meat short rib.
Save space for dessert; the key lime pie is one of the best in the city. Plus, they have a selection of sorbets too, so don't forget to ask your server for a frozen treat at the end of your meal.
