Located on the top of The Ramada hotel, this Brazilian restaurant offers great food with a great view. You will be overlooking at the Marina from the 35th floor. Absolutely stunning view. Better book if you want to be seated outside (a recommandation ).

Shopping
5 minutes walk. The nicest way to get there is to walk along the Marina side. Boats, attractions and a great view of the skyline will lead you to Marina Mall with its shops and restaurants.

Not close but quite something. You will find everything you can think of. It is a modern version of a souq. It is a no fuss place, truly huge (Dragon Mart 1 & 2 ) and very busy on the weekend. Keep in mind though that apart from the food places, most shops only accept cash. Fortunately, there are ATMs dotted around.

Get off at Mall of the Emirates metro stop and enjoy the buzz.
