XVA Café

Escape Dubai’s bustle at this lovely courtyard cafe where the menu eschews meat in favour of a daily rotating menu of innovative vegetarian dishes, such as hummus made with broad beans or roasted carrots, aubergine burgers and mojardara (rice topped with lentils, sautéed veggies and yoghurt). The cheesecake and mint lemonade are both memorably delicious. Breakfast is served any time.
