Cafe Nikki has gained a reputation since opening as one of the chicest spots to spend your day in Dubai, whether you’re looking for somewhere to day drink, have lunch and or end the night. This all day bistro has been inspired by Nikki Beaches across the globe, and offers incredible views over the Arabian gulf which you can admire from the terrace.
Inside, the interior has neutral tones, with stone floorings, wooden tables and pillars, and stone coloured canvas chairs.
The restaurant is known for its fresh seafood, which has been responsibly sourced to ensure only the best quality. Lunch and dinner is available here, with a variety of salads, sandwiches and seafood, giving options for light bites through to a more substantial meal. Menu highlights include BBQ bites of shredded chicken tostadas, lentil and chilli soup with coconut cream, and miso and honey glazed yakitori with charred kale, kimchi and noodles. For those looking for something a little bigger, there’s a Cafe Nikki Biryani that can be made with either chicken or vegetables. Each month, there will also be a ‘favourite’ dish, which can vary between cuisines and dietary requirements, for example a poke bowl with sushi rice, edamame, wakame, compressed watermelon, avocado and crispy shallots. On Saturdays, Cafe Nikki holds its infamous Saturday Brunch, where guests can soak up the infectious atmosphere, and chill out in the stylish surroundings. With its notoriously sleek decor, it always makes the perfect backdrop for those Instagram moments and snapshots with friends.
To drink, you can expect all of the fan favourites with various wines, cocktails and beers on offer, so if you’re after a mojito in the sun or an after dark espresso martini, they’ve got you covered. But for that true Côte d’Azur feel, order in the rose to sip on in the sunshine.
