If you’re familiar with Dubai’s scorching heat come summer, you will know now is the time to make the most of the ‘cooler’ temperature outdoors while we still can, which includes trying out the best outdoor terraces in Dubai of course.

There are plenty of eateries with stunning outdoor spaces to book for the coming weeks, before the seats themselves become too hot to handle.

But while you’re tucking into an al fresco menu, how about a glass of bubbly too? Besides, there is always an occasion to celebrate, right?

We know it’s not every day you make such a drinks order, which is why we’ve done the research on the best outdoor terraces in Dubai to savour a glass of bubbly.

The best outdoor terraces in Dubai for a glass of bubbly

Above Eleven

Not only does this trendy bar overlooking Palm West Beach and the Marina beyond have some of the best views and the best bar food in the city, it also has some of the best prices for champagne by the glass. Get a glass of Laurent Perrier for Dhs99. Don’t mind if we do.

Meanwhile, the food menu is Nikkei-themed, so expect tartares, ceviche, bao, tiraditos, anticuchos, sushi, robatayaki and traditional Peruvian plates.

Attiko

Perched high on the 31st floor of the W Dubai – Mina Seyahi, Attico is lively and fun, in a grown-up sense. With an absolutely stellar vantage point, you can take in the Palm, Dubai Harbour, Dubai Marina, JBR, Ain Dubai views in all their twinkling glory, all while drinking a glass of bubbly from Dhs145.

Il Borro Tuscan Bistro

Il Borro isn’t just one of Dubai’s most popular restaurants for its ever-brilliant Italian menu and stylish set-up in Jumeirah Al Naseem’s Turtle Lagoon. It’s also a great place for champagne in Dubai, and that terrace is one of those places that literally begs you to place a glass of bubbly in your hand.

Once you’ve had that pre-dinner tipple, you’ll be spoilt for choice – truffle pizza, lobster pasta, burrata, all of Dubai’s favourites can be found here. A gorgeous place for a date night or catch-up with friends.

Monkey Bar

Choose between cosy booths, beanbags and step seating, or go for something a little more private in the rattan cages (Monkey Bar really is going all out with the theme here).

The main draw of Monkey Bar, aside from the Museum of The Future views on the rooftop of 25hours Hotel, is the chilled-out atmosphere. It’s perfect for date night with your other half, a quick drink after work, or for impressing friends visiting from back home with some bubbly on ice.

With its white-washed walls, cute outdoor terrace and homely vibe, there’s something refreshingly cosy about Mythos. It’s not flash. It’s not swanky. But it doesn’t need to be.

Almost a home-away-from-home, it’s a restaurant that regulars return to time and again, thanks to a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. And some pretty great prices, with Mythos being one of the rare casual dining restaurants in Dubai that offers real ‘I can’t believe that’s all it cost’ value. And the same goes for its bubbly too, starting from Dhs145 a glass.

Now this is a surprise. One of Dubai’s best Japanese restaurants ROKA, sister restaurant of Zuma, from chef Rainer Becker, is also home to a glass of champagne under Dhs100.

ROKA is known for its excellent robata and Dubai’s branch has a terrace boasting Burj Khalifa views. Its bar is famed for serving trendy Japanese-inspired mixed drinks, but now you know it’s also home to some of the best value champagne in town.

101 Dining Lounge & Bar

Jutting out from the southernmost arc of the Palm, 101 Dining Lounge and Bar is set upon an elevated platform accessible only by buggy, or by boat from the mainland Royal Mirage hotel. Enjoy a glass of bubbly from Dhs180 while tucking into tapas, the order of the day, and in recent years the restaurant has branched out from a Spanish focus to a more international flavour, calling on influence from the Middle East, Japan, South America and Korea to help create a vast selection of small sharing plates.
