BookMunch Café

Wasl Square, Al Wasl Road, (opposite Al Reef Lebanese Bakery), Dubai
04 388 4006
The creation of wonder-mama, publisher and food lover Dareen Charafeddine, BookMunch offers all too rare ‘home from home’ dining experience we all crave. The perfect place for post school drop off coffee and a naughty but delicious slice of carrot and courgette cake (possibly the best cake in Dubai), BookMunch also has a fantastic menu (devised by consultant Chef Fiona Archibold) with genius kids choices inspired by children’s literary classics – think ‘green eggs and ham’ and ‘Humpty Dumpty boiled…

Mozzo Centrale

Umm Al Sheif Street, Umm Suqeim 1, Dubai
04 394 8081
Editor's note: This business is permanently closed. This neighbourhood eatery is a regular haunt of many an Umm Suqeim mama – and is the ideal pit-stop for hungry families. Comparable to a traditional Italian trattoria, the interiors are warm and inviting and there’s a terrace for people watching and dining al fresco.  Refreshingly, the children’s menu is creative and not overloaded with deep-fried processed food – there’s a wood fired oven which produces the most delicious pizzas and pasta is…

Zpizza

Park Island Apartments, Tower R, Unit G10, Al Sufouh Rd, Dubai Marina, Dubai
04 364 9292
Fire baked, hand crafted pizzas made from an organic wheat base and topped with all natural ingredients. Sounds pretty dreamy to us… and it is! You can choose from a gluten-free, regular or wheat base and even decide to go for a vegan pizza topped with vegan cheese. The great thing about these pizzas is that you can throw all sorts of healthy stuff on there without the kids even noticing. And that is exactly what the people at Zpizza…

Zaina Restaurant

Al Wasl Road near Al Safa Park, right next to Union Co-op, Jumeirah 3, Dubai
04 394 4990
A personal Sassy Mama favourite is this local little eatery that serves up perfectly bbq’d, boneless chicken on a mountain (really it is almost that big) of rice with all the right trimmings of salsa and veggies etc. If we have time we tend to eat in, the kids love how you can eat off the floor like a bedouin. If you are on the go- their shawarmas are pretty awesome and amazing value for money. Don’t forget to try…

Chili’s

Various locations around Dubai - visit website for the full list
04 7059672
With several outlets around town Chili’s is like a fancy version of MacDoodles. Better burgers, good salads and free ice cream for the kids plus proper booths to keep them locked in while eating. Little people are as welcome as the ones paying the bill and the mostly Filipino staff are super friendly. Kids menu available (you won’t find quinoa on it though) and prices are very decent. Sassy Mama Tip: Discount vouchers available in the Entertainer Guide, Family Edition…

The Cheesecake Factory

Mall of the Emirates, Ground Floor (next to Ski Dubai)
Dubai Mall, Ground Floor
0)4 354 9362 (Mall of the Emirates); 04 325 3521 (Dubai Mall)
Don’t pretend like you don’t love this place mamas, we won’t tell. Good old American food for the whole family combined with the best cheesecake in town- make that best in the world. You can’t book, but we tend to hit places early anyways. And we guarantee you this will go down well with the entire family. Kids menu is good (not good for you perhaps but hey), the cobb salad is seriously awesome. What’s not to love?

The Picnic Brunch@ Al Badia Golf Club

The Intercontinental Hotel, Festival City, Blades Restaurant, Ground Floor, Dubai
04 70 11127/28
Editor's note: This business is permanently closed. Without a doubt the best family brunch in the desert! Every Saturday these guys put on a casual, relaxed and worry-free picnic- there isn’t much to spill on or destroy when you are eating on the grass. From tots to teens, all kids will enjoy this picnic, which comes with a jam packed basket and comfy blanket. Kids get an adorable mini hamper with kiddy-friendly treats and mini bubbles to keep ‘em busy.…
