Dubai, UAE: Tucked along the banks of Dubai Creek, Al Seef is a place where traditional wind towers meet contemporary waterfront promenades. Here’s are four of Hilton’s dining destinations to explore in this neighbourhood: whether you are seeking a taste of authentic tradition, a relaxed rooftop evening, or a laid-back lunch surrounded by greenery.
Sabaa: A Homage to Regional Flavours
Sabaa Restaurant & Bar, nestled within the Al Seef Heritage Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, is a heartfelt homage to the region’s culinary soul. Drawing from the Arabic word for seven, a symbol of completeness, Sabaa revives traditional Emirati and regional flavours.
Imagine tender Lamb Kibbeh, perfectly spiced and lovingly prepared. Alternatively, savour the creamy freshness of Burrata Fattoush. The vibrant Hot Mezze Platter beckons to be shared, its mosaic of traditional bites telling stories passed down through generations. Finally, those seeking comfort with a vegetarian flourish will find the wholesome Falafel Bowl delivers a satisfying and soulful experience that lingers.
Skafos: The Serene Mediterranean Waterfront
Just a short stroll away is Skafos, a serene waterfront haven at Canopy by Hilton Dubai Al Seef. Here, the Mediterranean is reimagined along the banks of Dubai Creek, where the air carries whispers of Greece, Italy, and Spain. Crucially, every dish celebrates fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Picture grilled seafood kissed with a hint of citrus. Imagine vibrant salads bursting with sun-ripened flavour. Moreover, classic favourites are crafted with great care. Paired with panoramic water views, Skafos invites guests to unwind in a sanctuary. Time slows and the city’s pulse softens in this immersive ambience.
C.U. and SOL Sky Bar: The Perfect Start and Finish
Morning unfolds gently at C.U., the bright and welcoming breakfast spot at Hampton by Hilton Dubai Al Seef. Bathed in natural light and framed by the hotel’s garden greenery, it’s where the day begins with comfort and flavour. The star of the table is the stack of fluffy golden waffles, crisp at the edges and soft at heart. Freshly brewed coffee, seasonal fruits, and warm pastries complete the spread. This creates an easygoing start to the day that feels both nourishing and indulgent.
Rising above it all, SOL Sky Bar crowns Canopy by Hilton Dubai Al Seef with a spirited celebration of zest and vibrancy. This rooftop oasis offers more than just breathtaking views; it’s a playground of light and flavourful bites, perfect for poolside indulgence. Under the glow of Dubai’s skyline, guests sip perfectly curated drinks as the cool breeze carries the distant hum of the city below. With its contemporary design and youthful energy, SOL invites guests to float between flavour and feeling. Every moment tastes like a celebration.
