Lucky Fish

Lucky Fish is a Mediterranean seafood restaurant and beach on Palm West Beach, with a bright, shabby-chic look that feels like a Greek island hideaway. Think whitewashed tables, blue and white cushions, linen curtains and 19th century French chandeliers. Its beach, Lucky Beach, has oversized single and double sunbeds, private shaded "shells" and five cabanas with a king-size bed, sofa, dining table and ceiling fan, all under rustic thatched umbrellas. Every guest gets chilled towels and a fitted sheet on arrival. The kitchen is built around a seafood display stocked by local fishermen, with homemade pasta, pizza and burgers too. Sundowners at the bar are a must, and live entertainment runs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Views stretch over turquoise water to the Dubai Eye and the Marina skyline, so late afternoon into sunset is the sweet spot. All ages are welcome during restaurant hours, making it easy for families and friends alike. Reviewers love the stunning outdoor setting, the attention to detail and the salt-baked sea bass. Weekends are busiest, so book a sunbed or cabana ahead.
