We would have enjoyed this location more had the service been faster. But 1.5hours to have some breakfast is ridicilous! We were seated at the only available outdoor table which was low, comfy chairs more for relaxing with a drink than eating. So we weren't very comfortable. It wasn't their fault we opted to stay outside though. However we were... More

They opened for breakfast until dinner time. You could choose between salad, soup, sandwichs, pastas or risottos. Café Bateel is very famous for Dates, pastries, and chocolate. Set-up in... More

This has to be one of my favorite lunch places. I have also eaten a few times at the one in DIFC. The food is good! The Bateel risotto is excellent! They leave Olive oil on the table and they serve great bread too. Food is delivered quickly and the service is good. The view over the Marina makes for... More

Visited a number of times in our latest (13th?) Dubai stay - food at breakfast & lunch excellent. Haven't visited in the evening but the setting with all the evening lighting around the Marina should be spectacular. Expect a good choice of well-prepared food, comfortable seating, sun shades and fantastic views of the most popular end of Dubai Marina Walk.... More

The food and service is pretty goid here and the prices are average. However, the scenic view is what makes this place a speical one. Having a Bateel couscous salad as people were passing by relaxinflg and interedting. Meanwhile, the surrounding trees and the builing around are lit up, which gave the night a special ambiance.
