The MAINE Oyster Bar & Grill, JBR

As one of Dubai’s most popular seaside brasseries, MAINE has a lot to offer to the discerning diner. The retro-vintage interiors and laidback New England vibe set the stage for the star of the show — the exhibition kitchen that serves up live lobsters and oysters galore. The award-winning eatery’s menu really does run the gamut, from fresh seafood and fish to easy pot roasts and chops, accompanied by a great wine list. It’s the perfect place for a whole host of events — from celebratory dinners to Sunday brunch and everything in between — making it a top spot on many Dubai locals’ lists.
