Go Early. For outdoor breakfast by the beach, arrive early before crowds build and the breeze becomes less comfortable.

The Bottom Line

Catch22 JBR is a lively restaurant in Jumeirah Beach Residence with outdoor seating, beach views and a broad international comfort-food menu. Breakfast is one of its strongest draws: reviews mention the Champion’s Breakfast, English breakfast, Breakfast O’Clock and a full breakfast offer with fresh orange juice and coffee. Sushi is another clear favourite, particularly the Volcano shrimp Roll, while burgers, birria tacos and Lotus French Toast give groups plenty of variety.

The setting does much of the work. Guests describe the JBR beach and sea view as relaxing, and the bright interior has neon-style details, photo spots and a photo booth. Families may appreciate the colouring paper and pens for children.

Birthday visits also receive praise for thoughtful surprise arrangements, making the restaurant more than just a quick meal stop. Value is a recurring theme, including a reported 59 AED breakfast offer, but the food is not perfectly consistent. One iftar visit found small portions and bland burger and fries, while another lunch reviewer received room-temperature birria tacos.

If you choose outdoor seating, early morning is the safer bet for a breeze before crowds and heat build. For all-you-can-eat sushi, check the included selections first; not every sushi option is covered.
