Nandos
KT's favorite! You can't go wrong with the peri-peri chicken and chips. Emily likes the Espetada
Recommendations
Where to eat / drink
Sushi Samba
Located right inside the St. Regis hotel, a great option if you want Japanese food or late night drinks with an incredible view
Il Gattopardo
Really great Italian restaurant with 10/10 vibes
Koko Bay
Laid-back, beachside restaurant on The Palm
Arabian Tea House
A really cute tea house tucked away in Old Dubai. Perfect for brunch, lunch, snack or tea. Wander through the Al Fahidi neighborhood afterwards - it's one of the oldest parts of the city
Al Safadi
Emily's favorite lebanese food
J1 Beach
A lively stretch of beachfront with chic restaurants and beach clubs. Our go-tos are Baoli and Sirene, but honestly, it's fun to just stroll and see what catches your eye
3 Fils
Trendy harbor-side spot with yummy Asian food - one of the first restaurants Emily went to when she visited
Ce la Vi
A rooftop inspired by its famous Singapore counterpart. Great espresso martinis and views
At.mosphere lounge
At the Burj Khalifa - if you want a drink at the top of the world's tallest building without the long ticket lines, this is a good option
Texas Chicken
Amazing fried chicken. Great late night option
Chili's
They JUST reopened in Dubai. KT and Emily first bonded over Chili's. It's way better here than in the US, we promise…
KFC
Also better in Dubai than the US. Another great late night option
🌴 What to see and do
Burj Khalifa
Tallest building in the world - you can go to the top or you can wait until our American Wedding and see it as well :)
Dubai Mall
Biggest mall in the world
Mall of the Emirates
See the indoor ski hill!
Kite Beach
If you're looking for a good place to run, this is the spot! Emily spent many hours here during marathon training
Museum of the Future
A Dubai classic. Truthfully, neither Emily or KT have been but they've heard great things
The Frame
Another Dubai classic to see
Old Town Dubai
Stop by the gold and spice souks here!
Desert Tour / Safari
There are many good spots. Reach out to our hospitality team for recommendations
Global Village
If you're looking for something fun to do in the evening, there's lots of fun activities and food here!
The Lob Dubai Padel & Wellness Club
KT and Emily really like to play padel in NYC and this is an awesome option in Dubai if you're looking for some sport. They also have great wellness classes too!
Zoga Yoga Cafe
Emily's favorite yoga studio in Dubai. It's only about 10 minutes from the hotel as well :)
