Dine at The Ivy on a luxury holiday in Dubai

Britons enjoying luxury holidays in Dubai this year can add an extra element of class to their break with a meal at The Ivy.

The Middle Eastern version of the prestigious London restaurant is now open on the ground floor of The Boulevard at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers hotel.

Dishes being served at the venue display some international influences, with menu options including sashimi and Thai-baked sea bass.

Guests can also choose from a number of British favourites and classics associated with The Ivy, including shepherd's pie, Dover sole and iced berries with hot white chocolate sauce.

Phil Broad, managing director of Jumeirah Restaurants, said: "The opening of The Ivy in Dubai has been highly anticipated by patrons for whom dining at the London brasserie has become a custom.

"It is a welcome addition to the Jumeirah restaurant portfolio. With its sophisticated decor and delicious food, The Ivy is set to become a landmark in Dubai."

Travellers planning all inclusive holidays in the emirate this year can also head to some of its giant malls and retail complexes to pick up luxury gifts and souvenirs.
