What to Eat at Gallery 7/40 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 Gallery 7/40, 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.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check prices. Before paying for a brunch, confirm the package price: one group was charged 395 for the soft package while its menu showed 345 AED.
Plan sunset. For the most scenic timing, stay through the afternoon; a guest specifically enjoyed watching the sunset after spending the day there.
Choose brunch. Pick a Greek brunch if you want entertainment as well as food, especially plate-smashing, live saxophone and violin.
Expect warm water. The pool can feel warm in cooler weather, which one winter visitor considered ideal for the season.

The Bottom Line
Gallery 7/40 combines a Greek restaurant with a beach-club day on Palm Jumeirah. You can settle on a large sunbed by the water, use the pool, or sit down for Mediterranean food; the sea bass carpaccio, moussaka and cheesecake were all singled out as beautifully presented and full of flavour. The waterfront terrace also gives sunset views across the water and Dubai skyline.
The liveliest visits are the Greek brunches and dinner parties. Big Fat Greek Brunch includes live singers, violinists, saxophone, dancing and plate-smashing, so it suits groups looking for an event rather than a quiet meal. On calmer days, reviewers describe music that stays upbeat without making conversation difficult.
The pool is reported as clean and warm, including during winter visits. Service is usually described as friendly and attentive, and the art-led interiors add more character than a standard beach venue. There is one important caution around management: a Ramadan guest said they were pressured to leave after ordering juices and mocktails, while another group reported paying 395 for a soft package when the table menu showed 345 AED.
Confirm current brunch pricing and package details before settling in, particularly for larger bookings.
