Address Grand Creek Harbour
The city’s most sought-after waterfront destination (as they call it), rising above the Dubai Creek. Booking a table at the Patisserie or the Restaurant means: eye candy. Sorry to say, but breakfast comes second. We just can’t get enough of looking over Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, which are both only a short drive away. First take a stroll between the city’s historic areas and newer places, then take your breakfast in what is designed as a luxury home with signature dining concept, topped with majestic views.

Jones The Grocer
Take it beachy! This is what we call a relaxed (in- and outdoor) breakfast with a view. Come to Jones The Grocer on West Palm Beach, order not only coffee but Burundi (or Indonesia, Kenya, Ethiopia, …) beans, french pressed, served with a valrhona earl grey chocolate truffle and lean back. Or enjoy an iced drink, a smoothie, chai, jones tea, whatever you like. Feeling blue? The blue spirulina bowl ist perfect for you. Maybe followed by a filled croissant? A french breakfast fresh from the oven? Tartine? Ice cream croissantwich? The title alone is totally worth it. Not sure? Bread and pastries „made the old fashioned artisan way“ will do the trick (and treat).
