Great list of romantic restaurants in Dubai ! If I have a good budget, I will take my girlfriend to Ossiano. I heard that the food of this place is outstanding, and guests can also enjoy the view of underwater world from their seats through the glass windows.
Dubai is best for a romantic vacation since there are many things to do and see for couples. It was our choicest destination for our honeymoon. While we didn’t go to the high-end restaurants, we took the Dubai Dhow Cruise. And we can say with confidence that this floating restaurant is nothing less than a five-star hotel. It offered great sightseeing experience along with sumptuous buffet and engaging entertainment onboard.
I have been looking for a few restaurants to hit with my husband today for a romantic dinner(it’s 14th Feb :P, my treat) . Last year we visited Atelier M in Dubai Marina and it was perfect. This is a great list, and I’m literally scrambling to see if any one of these have a vacant table for tonight.

The looks of all the hotels say it all. Not only do they exhibit a romantic vibe, but they also offer panoramic views of the city’s attractions.
That’s why many couples make a beeline to these restaurants.
The photographs of all the hotels are so tempting that I feel like visiting all of them. But guess I have to work hard and save a lot.
You can enjoy a simple menu at these restaurants.
Wow! All these romantic restaurants are exceptionally beautiful. But I guess they must be expensive as well.
Some occasions in life are worth splurging.
