Great place for light and well-prepared lunch. Cozy place, small retail corner with AESOP products, some cute hand-made stuff.Attentive staff, plenty of choices, till 12 noon breakfast is served. We had nice latter and almond croissant was mouth-watering with thin crisp.Restaurant serves plenty of drinks and beverages, great place for business lunch.

One of my favorite Cozy Cafe located in Dubai Design District , with bright Outdoor and indoor seating. I ordered The Spanish Latte it was the best and I order Eggs Benedict which was just perfect the hollandaise sauce was delicious too 😍. They have a small retail corner with AESOP products cute hand-made items.

I’ve been to The Lighthouse a few times and I always enjoyed eating their salads and mezzes. Some of my favorite dishes include the Greek Salad, Lentil Salad with Pickled Vegetables, and Tuna Tartare with Avo and Dried Apricots. They serve simple Mediterranean-inspired food and they happen to be one of the only two licensed restaurants at D3 Dubai. I enjoy my experience with them every single time.

*** Follow @DubaiMusts on Google/Facebook/Instagram for more reviews 👏******Nice restaurant in D3 lead by famous Chef Izu.I already came a couple of Times and it has always been a great experience.Had the grilled chicken souvlaki sandwich : made with tzatziki, marinated onions, tomatoes & sumac. It was delicious !It’s a little bit pricey :52 aed but the quality is amazing, the restaurant very beautiful and they offer your some complimentary humous & bread which are so yummy !

We wait 10 min to a vacant table then we ordered and they was late and we remind one of their waiters and he said that he will follow up our order, then we discovered they forgot us actually we waste 50 min there. Such a bad experienced with them.

New discovery for us in the design district.As you would expect being in the design district the interior is very well laid out and amply lit. The walled library is a nice feature and they have a concept store in the main dining area, nothing new here but its presence adds something.

It was just a try to this breakfast place but it turned into a surprise.The environment is lovely and staff are friendly and helpful. Egg Benedict is the thing I always order when trying new places, and thats delicious. Omelette is also nice.The biggest surprise is theyre selling alcohol as well. Two glasses of Prosecco just made everything perfect.

Review №22

I’ve been wanting to go their for breakfast, because this place is very well known and almost everyone I know tried their food so I went there to see what the hype is all about.I tried their croissant with scrambled eggs with avocado and bacon, it’s really good but it’s a bit heavy and it made me full for the whole day.My overall review of the place is that it wasn’t as special as people made it look like, it was okay but I don’t think I’m gonna revisit the place anytime soon.

V visited here few days back in a cold evening. Its a very nice place located in dubai design destrict. V enjoyed the happy hours. Inddor and outdoor both seating available.drink were nice and the complimentary snacks provided with snacks were too good.

Review №24

The whole experience started on the wrong foot. First the drop off area is full of parked cars where I couldnt drop off my old mom. The drop off area was made available for valet parking. In the restaurant, the service was so slow.. for cleaning the table we asked like 3 to 4 times. A bottle of water took 10 minutes to get. Food is neutral..not yummy and not wow. The shakshoka was salty. The kids liked the French toast. Portions are small relevant to price.. so it is over priced for a resturant. It was my first time to the design district area. It needs some time to be developed and be up and running in a good surviced way. I would not recommend going there till a better experience is made. I would give this experience a 6 out of 10.Peace ☮

Very cozy restaurant located in Dubai Design District. Ambience, taste, and staff friendliness are all superb. Baked Sea bream was the day’s recommendation and tasted just great. Only the comment is that the location is a bit far from D3 parking lot but it is not so much of a big deal.

I was wondering around haven’t decided where to have a decent meal away from the weekend crowded restaurants. I found the lighthouse as i entered the premises of d3 offering mediterranean food.I am impressed with the surrounding, the atmosphere is super for a weekend dinner with a friend or your spouse. Friendly staff and i give them high five. Must try if you’re fed up from the usual places.

As reviews told the Lighthouse is a lovely spot for breakfast with the only drawback being price. Little on the expensive side but worth it be it a treat or special occasion. Yummy smoothies, well prepared and portioned dishes and friendly staff.

A cozy cafe in D3 to have a quick bite and coffee also its great to have morning breakfast! (Not entertainer Friendly)FOOD:They have a variant menu with items from different parts of the world and their food portions are sized to be as Bar food or Mezza (so its not that big)Tip: must try their grilled chicken souvlaki and their infused homemade ice tea also the burratta was worth to try.SERVICE:It was okay the waiters are not very attentive to the customers so we had to wait until they pass by to get their attention and the service is slow.AMBIENCE:They have an outdoor seating with green carpet that would give u the feeling as if you are in a garden and the indoor seatings have a nice cozy design!

The Lighthouse is a smart casual outlet that oozes style and coolness. To be expected, I guess, if youre based in D3. I was there for breakfast and had a machiato and chocolate almond croissant. Good food and service. I noted a Happy Hour which would be good to check out some day.

You walk into this place and its really bright and open and very relaxed and comfortable. Staff there to great and seat you. Seats are very comfy, the coffee and food was excellent and even the smoothies were delicious and fresh. They have a store to one side where they sell cook books, ornaments, little nick knacks, mugs, glassware and hand washes and soaps by Aesop etc but its not overdone and very tastefull. I asked about the price of a mug and was told the it was 126 dirham and i almost fell off my chair! Massively overpriced items which i dont know how they can justify. The food also reflected similar pricing and although expensive not ridiculously so. I will definitely be back but you wont see me walking through the little side store again.

The location is a little remote but totally worth the trip! Everything is just perfect. From the décor to the mezze to the mains. We had 3 mezze (burrata, ceviche and the salmon). The burrata and the salmon were great, the ceviche lacked a little bit of flavour. The seafood risotto was incredible. Will definitely be coming back here.

The service was absolutely bad. I have burned my hand by touching the pan which i didn’t know that was very hot, due to not being informed prior to that it was hot. When i issued my complaint to the manager, there was no action taken and it felt like i was at fault. Totally unacceptable action and really disgraceful.
