Try the fried calamari and shrimp with purple potatoes and spicy garlic sauce or the creamy lobster bisque. The popular Mediterranean spaghetti ai frutti di mare serves mixed seafood in a lightly spiced tomato sauce.

While not officially billed as a seafood restaurant, Kaspia in DIFC has so many great fish and shellfish dishes on the menu that it might as well be.

Add a selection of the world’s finest caviar and take a seat on the charming terrace to people-watch while you dine.
