Caramel Restaurant & Lounge

Sleek after-hours spot
Popular plate: The kobe sliders go down a treat. These mini burgers are packed with flavour and come topped with aged cheddar and balsamic-pickled onions.

Set in the heart of DIFC—Dubai’s answer to Wall Street—this restaurant-cum-lounge bar is a popular haunt for that after work wind-down drink. The humming music and plush, Asian-inspired outdoor terrace create a scene that’s chic, yet subdued. This is a good spot when you're craving some sophistication.
Low key, low lit and intimate, it's a great place to take a date, taking your time over the quietly decadent fusion menu, as opposed to somewhere to come make merry with a big group.
