The Top 10 JLT Lunch Spots You 100% Need To Try In 2020

Avatar

The clock strikes 12 pm, you’re unsure where to eat and need to ensure that the one hour you have to relax, unwind and fulfil your culinary desires must be met. But wait, there’s one other thing that holds you back from this seemingly easy decision-making, JLT is FILLED with restaurants.

A cluster alone could have more than three restaurants, making it a teeny bit difficult to pinpoint your go-to lunch spot during the workweek. But through online polls, asking a bunch of our colleagues at the office and doing some research- we’ve compiled the 10 best lunch spots in JLT.

Here are 10 of the best go-to lunch spots in JLT

 

How did Lovin Dubai choose the final list?

  • Finalists were selected from all across Dubai
  • Online reviews, previous media coverage and notable blogs were also included in the overall rating
  • The final list is subjective – if we’ve missed out on any must-try places across Dubai, please do let us know!
  • The brand’s social media audience and engagement were considered
