The Beach at JBR (next to the Hilton)
JBR’s new mall complex The Beach boasts a dining venue with enviable views of the beach and Palm Jumeirah. A café during the day and a brasserie by night, Leopold’s of London is proving popular, so head there early if you’re planning breakfast out to make sure you get a table – after all, 8am should be a breeze when you’ve been up since the crack of dawn? And once you have cleared your plates, walk the kids down to the beach for some old fashioned fun – sandcastle competition, anyone?
