What to Avoid (3)

Food 3

  1. Chicken nuggets Net −1

The Bottom Line

Parker’s La Mer is a beachside restaurant at La Mer in Jumeirah, with indoor and outdoor seating and a lively, modern setting. It suits a relaxed meal or breakfast with views, but the strongest draw in the reviews is dessert: Matilda cake and Lotus Drama are the names people return for. The menu leans toward burgers, sliders, pasta and comfort-food starters.

Truffle Mushroom pasta is described as rich and creamy, while Seafood Risotto won one diner over with tender prawns and rice. Burgers get steady praise, especially the truffle burger and chicken burger; breakfast brings options such as Turkish simit, eggs croissant and French toast. Portions are sometimes described as average or small for the price, and one couple spent AED 167 on a tacos main, burger, truffle fries and dessert and were still hungry.

Other diners found the quality reasonable for the setting, so expectations matter: this is more of a beach outing than a bargain meal. Service is usually friendly and attentive, though reviews include slow service, seating confusion and food arriving at different times. Ask for dishes together if dining as a group.

Parking is free for three hours when the token is validated by the restaurant; valet costs AED 50, and weekend parking can be difficult. Outdoor seating is especially appealing in winter, while coffee feedback is mixed.
