A huge dining destination is all set to cement Jumeirah Beach Residence’s position as a leading culinary hub in Dubai.
Pavilion at The Beach will be a 1,394-square-metre-space, housing six licensed restaurants. The sprawling venue will be an enclosed and temperature-controlled one, making it just the spot for casual dining by the water all year long, complete with a transparent roof. There will also be a sea-facing terrace seating, to maximise the views of the Arabian Gulf and Ain Dubai.
The venue is scheduled to open in December 2021. While one restaurant is yet to be announced, here’s a look at the ones that are confirmed to be opening at Pavilion at The Beach:
Eataly
The go-to spot for authentic pizzas and pastas has racked up quite the following, thanks to its locations in The Dubai Mall and Dubai Festival City Mall. It’s branch that is set to open in JBR will be the brand’s first licensed venue.
Hurricane’s Grill
Akiba Dori
If you’re in the mood for modern Japanese street food and Tokyo-Neapolitan pizzas by the beach, this one's for you. The home-grown restaurant, which first launched in Dubai Design District in 2018, will be opening its second Dubai branch at JBR. The new outpost will be designed in signature Akiba Dori styling, taking inspiration from the neon-lit streets of Tokyo. It will seat 75, and have both indoor and al fresco spaces. There are also some surprises promised that will be exclusive to the location. As founder Samer Hamadeh puts it, “JBR is in for a real treat, that’s a promise.”
La Mezcaleria
The authentic Mexican restaurant will soon open up at JBR to meet all your taco and quesadilla cravings. It also has a range of Japanese dishes, from maki rolls to sashimi.
Cafe Buur
New to the UAE market will be Cafe Buur, a German restaurant established in 2017. The restaurant has branches in Cologne, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt and is known for its hearty breakfast and brunches (a place where Turkish sucuk and shakshuka goes on the same menu as German pancakes) so there’s clearly much to look forward to.
Pavilion at The Beach comes hot on the heels of the success of Bla Bla Dubai beach club, a day-to-night destination that opened in JBR in 2020.
“We’ve thought carefully about the various experiences at The Beach and firmly believe that the launch of this all-inclusive environment further elevates the way visitors enjoy the outdoor destination,” says Shahram Shamsaee, chief executive at Merex Investment Group, the company behind the project.

Conflict, drought, famine
Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.
Band Aid
Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
