It’s a shame if you’ve been to The Dubai Mall but haven’t taken those extra steps across the bridge near the waterfront restaurants to Souk Al Bahar.

The Arabesque destination has stores retailing authentic handicrafts, jewellery, fashion wear, perfumes, carpets, furnishings and so much more. But that’s not why we love this place.

We’re totally bowled over by the number of restaurants it has. Here are 14 of them that will ensure you never go home hungry.

1. Abd El Wahab

Expect a hearty Lebanese meal.
