What to Eat at La Terrasse 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 La Terrasse, 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
Choose Lunch. For the widest choice, consider breakfast or lunch rather than dinner; one review found both better than the dinner buffet.
Try Iftar. If visiting during Ramadan, the Iftar buffet is the strongest recurring recommendation, with Middle Eastern dishes, juices and sweets.
Arrive Early. For buffet visits, aim for an early slot and prioritise the seafood and grill stations; one reviewer also mentioned using an Entertainer deal.
Confirm Reservations. For birthdays or prepaid bookings, confirm the reservation directly with the hotel beforehand because one paid booking was not recorded.

Common Concerns
Dinner Quality
One recent diner found the dinner buffet neither fresh enough nor varied enough, calling the overall value average.
Limited Options
A birthday visit felt bland, with limited buffet choices and an ambience the reviewer considered unsuitable for a special occasion.
BBQ Service
A large party reported undercooked barbecue, missing sauce and salad options, and too few guests being served.
Room Temperature
One diner reported inadequate air conditioning, with the room reaching 28 degrees Celsius despite asking twice for an adjustment.
Booking Issue
A prepaid birthday reservation was not received by the hotel, leading to repeated verification and a disappointing occasion.
Customer-reported prices
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
La Terrasse is an all-day restaurant on level 8 of Two Seasons Hotel and Apartments in Al Sufouh. It suits diners who want a hotel buffet rather than a tightly focused à la carte meal, with Arabic, French and international dishes, live cooking stations, seafood and desserts. Reviews are especially warm about the Iftar spread and seafood buffet.
Specific buffet highlights include tender Mandi meat, creamy seafood soup, mixed grill, shrimp cocktail, salmon and crab salad. Lunch also gets better feedback than dinner, while the rooftop setting brings Dubai Media City views and a spacious, modern feel. The neighbouring lounge is mentioned for shisha and a more laid-back atmosphere.
Service is one of the steadier strengths: many diners describe the staff as friendly, attentive and accommodating, including for family meals and brunch. That said, quality is not completely consistent. One recent review found dinner food insufficiently fresh and varied, while another reported undercooked barbecue and poor handling during a large party.
A separate diner found the air conditioning inadequate at 28°C. For a first visit, consider lunch or Iftar, arrive early for buffet stations, and ask about the Entertainer deal. If celebrating or paying ahead, confirm the reservation directly; one prepaid birthday booking was not received.
An older review recorded AED 135 for a buffet including soft drinks, but treat that as historical rather than current pricing.
