Perched on the outdoor terrace of the iconic sail shaped Burj Al Arab hotel, Scape is an al fresco restaurant and lounge which recreates the atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur.
How does it achieve such a feat? Well, the views across the turquoise blanket of the Arabian Gulf certainly help to transport you to the French Riviera, as does the crisp white furnishings and drinking glasses which boast sea blue hues. Pair this with the menu of Mediterranean cuisine and it is easy to forget you are in the heart of Dubai.
Open for lunch and dinner and operating a smart casual dress code, Scape Restaurant & Lounge is ideal for relaxed and unhurried meals. The à la carte champions seafood and features a casual selection of snacks, sandwiches and pizzas. Kick-start your meal with small plates such as crispy lobster tacos or beef tataki with a truffle dressing.
Next up, you can move on to the sandwiches, with options to choose from including a Wagyu beef cheeseburger or a crab burger with a king prawn and crab patty. You can pad out your meal with side orders of French fries and roasted tomatoes, while those looking for something a little more substantial can choose one of the dishes from the grill.
Pick from the likes of lobster which hails from Maine in the USA or a 200 gram cut of Australian beef tenderloin. Each dish from the grill is served with a side plate of your choice, and you can choose from a medley of seasonal steamed vegetables, a Mediterranean salad (feta cheese, tomato, cucumber and olives) or fries topped with black truffle shavings.
To finish up your meal on a sweet note, you can indulge with desserts such as tiramisu or Scape’s own take on a classic cheesecake, which features a coconut crust and toppings of lime zest.
