Featuring a comprehensive à la carte menu, the venue offers everything from wood-fired pizzas and grilled dishes to sharing boards, a wide selection of Asian favourites, and beloved classics such as fish and chips. Its standout roast dinner has also received high praise, having been named one of the best in Dubai by Best Bites UAE.

Jones The Grocer Emirates Golf Club
While this contemporary artisan cafe offers a more relaxed atmosphere than many restaurants on today’s list, it is here for good reason. The Australian eatery presents outstanding food using all-natural ingredients – from all around the world.
The Full English breakfast is sure to attract the city’s abundance of British expats, while the pea & mint risotto is an Italian treat for the palette – served with your choice of salmon or halloumi. The Yuzu Seabass is a delectable nod to East Asian fare, in addition to the sensational Gochujang Chicken burger, which of course hails from the Korean peninsula.
Furthermore, the venue hosts the popular ‘Jazz, Wine and Cheese Fridays’ – a sensory dining experience complemented by the relaxing tones of live jazz – as well as ‘Steak Frites Thursdays’ which presents perfectly grilled Aussie Beef, your choice of sauce, Rocket Salad and unlimited French Fries.

Located within the Topgolf facility at the Emirates Hills Golf Club complex, this aptly named British Gastropub is perfect for sampling the rich heritage of British flavours. With carefully crafted dishes furnishing guests with the authentic tastes of the UK shores, the establishment is a love letter to British society.
With starters such as the classic Scotch Egg or Breaded Mushrooms allowing guests to ease their way in, the mains come thick and fast with the Lamb and Mash a particular highlight. Naturally, the menu includes beloved British staples such as Fish & Chips and the obvious Toad in the Hole (considering the name of the establishment). The Grill selection remains true to its roots, with Sirloin, Tenderloin, and Ribeye steaks all making an appearance. Another standout is the Baked Atlantic Cod & Mussels – a dish that adds a refined touch to the traditional offering.
The showpiece of this hearty establishment, however, is arguably the Sunday roast – the cornerstone of British culinary culture. Complete with all the trimmings including fluffy roast potatoes and traditional Yorkshire pudding, the roast dinner at Toad in the Hole is not to be missed.

Located on the lower level of the Clubhouse Address Montgomerie, this diverse restaurant allows guests to unwind next to the 18th hole while taking in exceptional views of the surrounding course via floor-to-ceiling windows.
