LPM Dubai

Dubai

The flavours of the Mediterranean in riviera-inspired surrounds

Consistency is key: LPM is a grande dame of the Dubai culinary scene, having first opened its doors more than a decade ago. The fact it is still hard to reserve a table is testament to its consistency – you're guaranteed quality ingredients, tried-and-tested recipes, staff that make you feel like a regular from the very first visit and great people-watching.

What to order: LPM attracts a crowd that tends to rattle off their favourites, made to be shared with the table, without needing to look at the menu. Top picks include a much copied but never bettered green lentil salad, salt baked sea bass with artichokes and tomatoes, warm prawns with olive oil and lemon juice, or any of its beloved plates of pasta. The food is unfussy, straddling the Italian-French border, and utterly delicious.

Something sweet: When it comes to dessert, the team generally sticks to comforting classics: think a vanilla crème brûlée, apple tart with vanilla ice cream and a warm chocolate mousse served with malt ice cream.

Stylish space: With its white walls and bright artworks, there's a Mediterranean breeziness to the dining room. If all the tables are full, propping up the bar is no hardship. There, you can enjoy the full menu, excellent chat from the bar team and an elevated seat for a bird's-eye view of the room.

To drink? Creative, story-telling mixology is also on the menu thanks to LPM's global bar manager Tibor Krascsenics, who took inspiration from French artist Jean Cocteau. The drinks take you on a creative journey through the writer's life. In 2025, LPM Dubai reached No.60 on the extended list of The World's 50 Best Bars.
