The Bottom Line

45 Bistro Restaurant is a modern European-inspired bistro on Bluewaters Island, suited to breakfast, a relaxed lunch or an evening meal. The reviews point to a comfortable, stylish interior and a particularly strong drinks-and-dessert offering, rather than a formal fine-dining experience. Breakfast is a recurring highlight, with cottage cheese pancakes, syrniki and fresh, well-presented dishes mentioned by different diners.

Matcha is another major draw: the menu includes pink, strawberry and peach versions, alongside other flavoured and oat-based choices. For a main course, the creamy risotto, chicken thigh orzo and sea bass all receive specific praise. Finish with the pistachio ice cream, which appears repeatedly in dessert recommendations.

Service is one of the safest reasons to visit. Reviews describe the staff as attentive, professional, friendly and accommodating. The setting works for catching up, working or a calm date, while evening DJ sets add some energy.

Outdoor seating is worth requesting if you want a view of Dubai Eye. One reviewer considered the food relatively simple, so diners seeking highly elaborate cuisine may want to set expectations accordingly. No customer-reported prices were provided in the supplied reviews.
