What to Eat at Al Beiruti Cafe Bluewaters How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Al Beiruti Cafe Bluewaters, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Cesar salad Net −1
“This restaurant is very well situated. Atmosphere inside is relaxing. The staff are extremely attentive and friendly. Food is good looking and made of fresh ingredients for sure. On the other hand, some improvements needed: Cesar salad is very far from its classic version, and the hot dishes are served just a bit warm.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose outdoors. Ask for outdoor seating if you want the Ain Dubai and city view, particularly in the evening.
Request sides. Ask for jalapeños on the side; one diner also suggested requesting more authentic sauces.
Share mezze. For a Lebanese-style meal, consider an assortment of cold and hot appetizers rather than focusing only on grills.
Check portions. If ordering breakfast, check the tray size first: one review found it sufficient for only one person.
Allow time. If you plan to order dessert or coffee, allow extra time because one evening review reported delayed follow-up service.

The Bottom Line
Al Beiruti Cafe Bluewaters is a Lebanese Modern Posh Café on Bluewaters Island, with a menu that suits both a proper meal and a relaxed café visit. Reviews mention signature hummus, mixed grill, lahme nayyeh, shawarma, kebbe neyeh and Lebanese breakfast dishes such as fatteh and manouche. Outdoor seating looks towards Ain Dubai and the city, making the setting especially appealing in the evening.
The food is generally described as fresh, flavourful and well presented. Hummus, grilled meat, warm bread, mezze and traditional dishes receive particularly specific praise, while shisha is a central part of the café experience; double apple is one flavour a reviewer enjoyed. Breakfast can be served quickly, and the atmosphere works for family meals, group gatherings and birthday celebrations.
Iftar reviews also describe the food selection, atmosphere and table care positively. There are a few practical caveats. One breakfast review found the tray portions small enough for one person, and another reported slow ordering and incomplete dessert service during an evening visit.
Some hot dishes arrived only slightly warm, and the washroom is across the street. Prices can feel elevated for the area, although one table reported 170 dirhams for two breakfasts, two drinks and tips.
