Aprons & Hammers - The Beach

When you walk into a restaurant and are handed an apron and a hammer, you know you’re in for a good time. Serving up generous portions of just-caught seafood cooked in aromatic herbs and marinades, this fun family-friendly restaurant sees guests donning aprons and cracking open crab and lobster – as well as oysters, mussels, and jumbo shrimp – with (you guessed it) hammers.

​You’ll have to smash, crack and work your way through the catch. For those who’d rather not get messy, the restaurant also has a fine menu of American-inspired seafood dishes, such as lobster rolls, maki rolls or fresh poke bowls.

​Many locals consider this place to be the best seafood venue in Dubai. You will really need that apron once you start wielding the hammer.
