Papa Dubai

Papa sits within the Intercontinental Hotel in Dubai Marina. It is a fifteen-minute walk from The Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar, or a twenty-minute walk from the Burj Khalifa.

The restaurant serves a modern international fusion menu in a room that runs smart and elegant. While the district is defined by its scale and high-traffic landmarks, Papa manages to feel less like a hotel dining room and more like a private lounge. It is quieter than the venues flanking the nearby souk, which makes it a sensible choice if you want to escape the tourist density of the waterfront without giving up the proximity to the city's central architecture.
