Food and drink at The Address Downtown Dubai

• Hotel restaurant

  The Address has eight restaurants and bars, serving everything from coffee and cake to caviar and cocktails, so you definitely won’t go hungry. Our favourites are Hukuma, Dubai’s answer to Hakkasan; Fazaris, with its live Medi-Middle Eastern kitchens; and lobby diner Risala for mezze and snacks.

• Dress code The smarter side of smart casual: shorts at dinner are a no-no; a DvF wrap dress will work everywhere.
• Top table Hard to pick one when there’s so much choice, but gazing out of Neos’ floor-to-ceiling glazing is pretty amazing; or grab an alfresco coffee at the Saha Café in front of the Dubai Fountain.
• Last orders A choice of Continental and American breakfasts are served in Fazaris from 6am to 11am. Fazaris serves food latest, closing its doors at midnight; the Cigar Lounge, Neos and Calabar pull down the shutters at 2.30am.
• Room service An à la carte menu with dishes representing the Address’ many restaurant kitchens can be ordered 24 hours a day.
• Hotel bar

  Award-winning Neos is currently Dubai’s highest bar, towering over the Old Town on the 63rd floor. Lap up those panoramic views while you sip on fancy cocktails and nibble fine-dining delicacies such as oysters. Other options include a nightcap and a smoke in the cool Cigar Lounge on the 13th floor, or Latin lounge beats courtesy of Calabar’s resident DJ. During the day, pool bar Zeta quenches thirsts and staves off snack attacks.
