The Farm Restaurant

$$

The Farm in Al Barari is a lush green escape from the city, surrounded by lakes, waterways and dense planting that make it feel more like a resort than a restaurant. Its open decks and glass pavilions spill out into nature, serving a broad menu of international and Asian-inspired dishes, breakfasts, and wholesome lunches – ideal for slow weekend mornings or relaxed midweek catch-ups.

Diners frequently highlight the ambiance as the main reason to return, with many describing it as one of Dubai’s most picturesque outdoor spots thanks to its greenery and tranquil lake views. Reviews note that prices can be slightly premium for the cuisine, and service can get stretched during busy weekends, but the combination of setting, generous portions and family-friendly atmosphere keeps it on many residents’ favourites list.
