Plan a day. If you want more than lunch, ask about combining the meal with pool and beach access.
Try sea bass. For a specific seafood order, consider the pan-seared sea bass, which one reviewer found perfectly cooked.
Save room. Dessert is worth planning for: the kunafa cheesecake was singled out as a particularly successful finish.
Consider sunset. The sea views and relaxed music make sunset a natural time to visit for drinks or dinner.
Check pizza. If you are specifically craving a Margherita pizza, check its current preparation first because one recent visit was disappointing.

One recent diner felt standards had slipped and said even the Margherita pizza was poorly prepared.
The Bottom Line
Villamore is a Mediterranean restaurant on Palm Jumeirah where the setting is a major part of the visit. You can come for lunch, spend time by the pool or beach, and look out towards the sea, Dubai Marina and JBR. It suits a relaxed seaside meal, a sunset drink or a special occasion rather than a quick stop in the city.
The menu has a strong seafood thread. Reviews mention pan-seared sea bass, a grilled seafood platter, shrimp salad and truffle pasta, while vegetarian diners have reported plenty of choice. The prawn tempura, tuna salad and Angus ribai steak also receive specific recommendations.
Desserts are not an afterthought: the kunafa cheesecake, apple tarte and mango dessert all get individual praise. The atmosphere is consistently described as calm, elegant and beach-focused, with soft music, greenery, a large pool and, according to one review, a pool bar. Service is usually warm and attentive without being intrusive.
There is one important caveat: a June 2026 reviewer felt the food quality had declined and found the Margherita pizza poorly prepared, so familiar pizza dishes may be worth checking before ordering. Reviews do not provide customer-reported prices.
