If dining in a furniture store summons up visions of Ikea meatballs, this glam deli-style café will surprise and delight. The enormous Beach Road branch of the UAE’s chicest interiors chain has won awards for its fusion cuisine, but a recent refit, replaced the black vinyl chairs and dark glass chandeliers with white leather sofas and wooden tables, and the menu has joined the revamp too. The breakfast – which they will serve at any time, should you roll out of bed post midday – ranges from freshly-baked banana bread to granola via more rib-sticking option of eggs Benedict. The rest of the café’s creations are displayed behind the glass counter, where you’ll find salads, sandwiches, homemade cheesecakes and peanut cookies. Delicious but dangerous if you’re planning a trip to the beach across the road.
