Jara by Martín Berasategui

From the moment we walked in, everything felt luxurious yet welcoming. But the highlight of our visit? The handcrafted drinks — absolutely divine! Every sip tasted like a little piece of heaven. The mixology at The Lana is truly next level — creative, balanced, and bursting with flavor. If you’re looking for a place where every detail is thoughtfully curated (and the cocktails are unforgettable), this is it. Can’t wait to come back!

1. Thank you Gede for the best service ever! We had an unforgettable time in Jara, thanks to you! We will definitely come back again. 2. The food was absolutely tasty. Thanks to Gede for advices. 3. Incredible view. (Gonna add some photos with a view from Jara’s terrace). 5 stars for sure!

I had such a memorable evening at this hidden gem on the 18th floor of The Lana in Business Bay. The atmosphere is effortlessly chic, with an intimate yet vibrant energy that makes you feel like you’re part of something exclusive. The views are absolutely stunning — you get this sweeping cityscape that’s just magical at night. We didn’t go for a full meal, but we did have some really tasty chicken wings — surprisingly flavorful and perfect for snacking. The cocktails? Next level. We tried three or four different ones, and each was beautifully crafted, both in presentation and taste. Creative, balanced, and super cute — definitely Instagram-worthy. If you’re into elevated lounges with style, views, and seriously good drinks, this spot is a must. A perfect place to unwind or impress.

I’d been looking forward to this visit, and and let me say … it’s exactly the kind of place you want in your back pocket when you’re planning an evening with a few close friends or hoping to impress someone special. For a view without the noisy crowd, try Sunday evenings around 7 PM to watch the city shift from day to night … it’s quietly stunning. 😍 Service was lovely: warm smiles, polished, and genuinely welcoming from entrance to table. I really enjoyed the way our main server presented herself throughout the whole dining experience. ⭐️ The food? A delight. Martín Berasategui’s croquettes were crisp, hot, and beautifully presented. We tried the mixed mushrooms and Spanish squid … I’m already planning to return for the other flavors. The MB salad surprised me in a good way. The fried shrimp lifted it entirely … my tip is to taste it first without, then with the shrimp to really appreciate the difference. The Txangurro Donostiarra (spider crab stew) was rich and full of that classic, salty Basque depth … though it came late in the meal and we were slightly too full to savor it properly. Anchovy fans should try the Marriage for a salty hit. One miss for me was the Vegetable Tempura with Romesco. At AED 80, it felt uninspired 🤔… a small plate of basic deep-fried veggies that didn’t match the creativity of the other dishes. If you want the true Basque experience, don’t skip the charcoal-grilled fish of the day and ask for the Martín Berasategui-style Potato Purée. 👍🏻👍🏻 I respect that they make desserts in limited quantities … assuming to reduce waste. The Basque Cheesecake is great if you’re okay with blue cheese notes, while the MB Torrija was soft, balanced, and not overly sweet. Cocktails were fun: the El Tomato, a clarified twist on a Canadian Caesar 👍🏻 right up my alley, while the Jara Paloma was a touch too boozy for my taste, while Martin’s Cooler was pleasant but didn’t quite stand out.

Jara by Martín Berasategui delivers a top-tier dining experience, showcasing the highest quality ingredients with precision and care. Turbot was a true standout—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Service was flawless, with a special mention to Rafi, whose attentiveness and professionalism made the evening even more enjoyable. Cocktails were also excellent, well-crafted, and balanced. An outstanding meal from start to finish.

This is one of the best places I have ever been in Dubai. I had an amazing time at Jara. The place is so classy and the ambiance is amazing. The General Manager Richard Alexander made us feel so welcomed and at home from the moment we got there. Excellent customer service from everyone. The steak was perfectly cooked and the oyster was fresh. The chef surprised us with different kinds of appetizers and desserts. I will definitely come back. I had an amazing New Year’s Eve.

On the 28th floor of Dorchester Collection Hotel at the Business Bay, it offers a panoramic view of Dubai skyline (including Burj Khalifa) that is really breathtaking. It has both a restaurant (with inside & outside sitting) and a bar. With a Spanish (Basque) cuisine it is mostly seafood-oriented and food is great (maje syre uou rry the bread). Prices are expensive, but the food and view are rewarding. Hotel parking is valet only.

I had the pleasure of visiting Jara by Martín Berasategui, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The ambiance is elegant yet welcoming, with a stunning view that creates the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. Each sip of the cocktails felt like a discovery of unique tastes. The staff were incredibly attentive, making sure we felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the night. If you’re looking for a place in Dubai to unwind, enjoy exceptional drinks, and soak in a sophisticated atmosphere, Jara by Martín Berasategui is a must-visit.
