11 breakfast spots with some of the best views in Dubai

You won’t say no to a breakfast date again…

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and we happen to agree. Breakfast dates have become the new going out for dinner and there are plenty of Dubai restaurants and cafes ready to cater to your avo-toast, açaí-bowl, eggs-any-style dreams. But these restaurants offer breakfast with the ultimate view in Dubai.

While it’s still alfresco season, we’re all about those breakfasting outside vibes with the amazing kind of views that are synonymous with our beautiful city.

Here are 11 breakfast spots with some of the best views in Dubai.

Not only is this venue the World’s highest 360º infinity pool, it also happens to be a lovely place to head to for breakfast. Where better to head to, have a delightful breakfast of miso eggs Benedict, the classic avo on toast or even an açai bowl, and then wait the respectable 3 hours before taking a dip in the pool.
