    • Public Cafe – Trendy cafe with beachfront terrace seating. Serves breakfast all day, sandwiches, and international favorites at moderate prices (45-75 AED / $12-20 per dish). Popular for their creative coffee options and relaxed atmosphere.
    • Mythos Kouzina & Grill – Authentic Greek taverna with a lively atmosphere. While slightly higher-priced than others on this list, their generous sharing platters (150-200 AED / $40-55) can feed 3-4 people, making it excellent value. Their moussaka and grilled seafood are standouts.
    • Awani – Modern Lebanese cuisine with outdoor terrace. Good mid-range pricing (60-100 AED / $16-27 for mains) with excellent mezze options. Their mixed grill and seafood platters are particularly good for the price.
    • The Cheesecake Factory – While a familiar name, their JBR location offers enormous portions that can easily be shared, making the slightly higher menu prices excellent value. Most main dishes (80-120 AED / $22-33) can feed two people.
    • Shake Shack – For casual dining with premium fast food at reasonable prices (35-60 AED / $10-16 per person). Their outdoor terrace has nice views of the beach and The Walk.
    • For your group of graduates and their mothers, Mythos Kouzina & Grill or Awani would be excellent choices, as they offer shareable dishes in a lively atmosphere that’s still sophisticated enough for a special trip. Both have menu options across different price points and provide a taste of regional cuisine in a beautiful waterfront setting.
