Shimmers
Snuggled on the beachfront of Jumeirah Mina Al Salam is Shimmers, a longstanding seaside spot that draws in the crowds thanks to its easy-dining dishes and dramatic Burj Al Arab views. The menu dances across the Med, with Greek classics also front and centre. Creamy tzatziki, prawns saganaki and grilled fish complement the seaside setting. It’s on the pricey side and service can be a little haphazard. It’s more holiday destination than fine dining, but Shimmers is still attracting crowds with its shiny views and sunny (shimmering) vibes.
