What to Eat at Mott 32 Dubai 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 Mott 32 Dubai, 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.

“I recently attended the Thursday night “After Dark” brunch at Mott 32 and it was a VIBE. Located on the 73rd floor of the Address Beach Resort, the immersive brunch offered an amazing view of the Dubai skyline, great music and a delicious selection of food and beverages from a specially curated Chinese set menu. With two hours of fee-flowing drinks included, the experience was well worth the AED 345 per person.”

Garlic pepper prawn Net −1

Tips for a Better Visit
Reserve Duck. Pre-order the signature Peking duck in advance; the business description says 48 hours is required, and reviews advise sharing it.
Request Terrace. Ask for an outside terrace table if the view matters; winter brunch was specifically recommended for terrace seating.
Allow Noise. For brunch, expect a lively DJ atmosphere and potentially loud music later in the afternoon if conversation is important.
Use Valet. Valet parking is available and was described as easy, with a separate entrance to the hotel.
Check Seating. If booking brunch, ask about table location: window seats may cost more, while interior tables can miss the view.
Share Portions. The duck is recommended for multiple diners, making it a better fit for a group than a solo order.

Common Concerns
Loud DJ
Brunch music can become loud enough to make conversation and ordering difficult, particularly around 3pm.
Uneven Service
One busy brunch felt disorganised, with guests having to approach staff from other tables for drinks.
Mixed Flavours
A few diners found the food average or less distinctive than expected for a high-end Chinese restaurant.
High Prices
Some guests felt the food did not justify the price, while another called the Peking duck worthwhile mainly for celebrations.
Cold Dishes
At one brunch, a few dishes arrived colder than they should have been.

The Bottom Line
Mott 32 is a fine-dining Chinese restaurant on the 73rd floor of Address Beach Resort in Dubai Marina, and its biggest draw is the combination of a polished dining room, terrace views and substantial Cantonese, Shanghai and Beijing-inspired cooking. You can order the signature apple wood roasted Peking duck, daily dim sum, lobster mapo tofu or crab meat fried rice; the duck and dim sum are the dishes most consistently singled out. The terrace looks towards Bluewaters Island, JBR, Palm Jumeirah and Ain Dubai, making this a natural choice for anniversaries, birthdays, date nights or hosting visitors.
Reviews also mention thoughtful birthday cakes and complimentary desserts. Vegan diners have a plant-based Peking duck option, while the After Dark brunch adds two hours of free-flowing drinks and a livelier, DJ-led format. There is a trade-off between setting and consistency.
Several guests found the food excellent, but others called it average for the price or found particular dishes disappointing; one brunch also had a few cold plates and slow drink service. Brunch music can become loud around 3pm, so choose dinner or request a quieter setting if conversation matters. Reserve the Peking duck ahead, ask for a terrace table, and use the convenient valet parking.
