8. Check out a new garden terrace right on the Marina
Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina has given its terrace a serious glow-up with The Garden. The refreshed Lo+Cale outdoor space now feels like the perfect new go-to hangout. With laid-back vibes, marina views and an open-air beverages space, it pretty much sets the tone for that easy-going day out.
Icing on the cake is Chef Carl Moore’s menu that’s basically comfort food but so much betterrr. They’ve got everything from a wood-fired pizza oven turning out proper margheritas and a spicy diavola to solid picks like the wagyu burger, brisket bao and loaded ciabattas. And if you leave without trying the chocolate brownie or Biscoff cheesecake, that’s on you.
They’ve also amped up the bubbles in the glass and introduced live music every Friday and Saturday, making it an easy yes for after-work plans or weekend catch-ups.
When: Fridays and Saturdays for live music
Where: The Garden, Lo+Cale Terrace, Crowne Plaza Dubai Marina
