Partner Content: This dining destination is where food, fun, and skyline views collide.
Dining in Dubai is never short of exciting, yet few places combine breadth, buzz, and a breathtaking panorama like Culinara Social Dining at The Link in One Za’abeel. Perched 100 metres above the city in the world’s longest cantilevered building, Culinara is more than a food hall. It is a stage for homegrown concepts, a social hub with day-to-night energy, and a culinary playground that keeps the experience fresh with every visit. Here are five reasons to make it your next reservation.
A global culinary playground
Culinara gathers 12 homegrown concepts led by some of Dubai’s most celebrated chefs. Expect Chef Reif Othman’s KONA Pizza House and SIO Ramen House, Roberto Segura’s seafood-driven Crudo, Masoud Shafie’s Persian spot Seiran, and Chef Sperxos’s Greek-inspired The Dish. The menu spans ramen, mezze, seafood, steaks, and more, allowing you to curate your own meal in one sitting. Whether you want a quick bowl or a leisurely feast, the lineup guarantees something for everyone.
Skyline views that set the scene
The dining room and bars look out across Dubai’s skyline, which means every coffee, cocktail, and course arrives with a side of city views. From a flat white at The Coffee Lab to sundowners at HighBall, the atmosphere elevates even a casual catch-up into a sky-high moment worth lingering over.
Happy hours and live music
Culinara turns the dial up after work and on weekends. Look out for lively happy hours across its outlets, live jazz, and late-night DJ sets. It is an easy choice for an impromptu meet-up, an after-office plan, or a night out that rolls from bites to beats.
An easy win for families
Family Sundays at Culinara make dining with little ones simple and fun. Dedicated children’s activities sit alongside the full spread of concepts, so parents can enjoy ceviche or ramen while kids tuck into their own meals and entertainment. The setting is stylish without being stuffy, which keeps everyone relaxed.
Chef residencies and pop-ups
If you like trying something new, Culinara keeps the calendar moving with rotating chef takeovers and limited-time menus. No two visits feel the same, and there is more on the horizon.
Whether you are visiting for happy hour, a family lunch, or the latest chef takeover, Culinara will make sure that you never run out of reasons to return.
