This new spot promises fine Mediterranean cuisine.
If there’s one thing Dubai’s dining scene knows how to do well, it’s keep us on our toes. No matter how many restaurants open up, there’s always room for more. Catering to this dining demand is Veranda, which has officially opened its doors in Dubai.
Located in Almas Tower at Jumeirah Lake Towers, Veranda promises Greek cuisine to satisfy your taste buds. Overlooking the lake, it provides a cosy atmosphere for you to enjoy your meal. Choose to dine indoors or at the outdoor terrace, with the option to pair your meal with fragrant shisha flavours.
Step inside Veranda and you’ll instantly be transported to a sun-drenched courtyard somewhere in Greece. The space strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern elegance, with earthy tones, textured stone walls, and warm wooden accents setting the tone. Lush greenery breathes life into every corner, while soft lighting invites you to explore.
In terms of the menu, Veranda’s philosophy, “Meat the Greeks,” is simple yet bold. The restaurant honours Greek traditions when it comes to grilling meats the way they’ve been doing for centuries. Chef Antonis Melas — formerly at Ammos — heads up the kitchen, celebrating Greece’s rich culinary heritage, with a focus on meats done the proper Greek way. Some signature items to try include Lamb Antikristo, Chicken Exohiko, Feta Tyropita, Spetsofai Pilliou, Moussaka, and much more.
Because no great meal is complete without a drink, Veranda’s bar team has crafted a menu of Greek-inspired cocktails using fresh, local ingredients.
With its combination of traditional Greek flavours, a stunning venue, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, Veranda Dubai is setting itself up to become a standout spot in the city’s restaurant scene. So, next time you find yourself in JLT and are wondering where to eat, this is where you’ve got to be.
