Sharjah and Ajman are two charming coastal cities where the ocean meets flavour. You just can’t get enough of the sea when you have a meal from seafood to grills, simple or even sophisticated. A visit to a seaside restaurant that serves not only delicious food but also offers magnificent views of the ocean can make your day perfect.
Sun-Kissed Bites: A Feast with a View
Do you ever think of getting an enjoyable, delicious meal, keeping the breathtaking view of the sea, and a spicy and sweet aroma of the meal wafting through the air? What about Ajman’s Corniche or Sheraton Sharjah’s beachside patios? These eateries redefine coastal dining.
Marasea: Fusion by the Surf
The transformation of a confluence of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian flavors has made for a luscious and eclectic menu at Marasea in Sheraton Sharjah Beach Resort & Spa. Meanwhile, be thrilled witnessing the chef preparing the fish by your choice right at your table, against the backdrop of the stunning Arabian Gulf.
Al Qubtan: Casual Elegance by the Gulf
In addition, the Al Qubtan—“The Captain”, another restaurant at Sheraton, makes available a menu of light international dishes and interesting mocktails mixed just for you to enjoy on a lazy afternoon. Time becomes irrelevant with its calming beachside terrace, a wonderful place to have a relaxing afternoon.
Arjwan: Arabian Heritage on the Shore
The luxurious, bland Arjwan Restaurant, steeped in oriental Middle Eastern style, elegantly graces the shore not far from where you are standing. Arjwan is more or less a fusion of cultural splendor and serene seashore with its rich Emirati and regional staples such as majboos, tajines, and sumptuous seafood platters.
Themar Al Bahar: Coastal Comfort, Wallet-friendly
Excellent Themar Al Bahar, much loved by local residents, is situated right in front of Ajman Beach and serves up Middle Eastern and seafood dishes that are both delicious and affordable—grilled fish, sweet luqaimat, and vibrant mezze—are just some of the offerings you will find on the menu.
Zanzi Bar: Eclectic Dining at Kempinski
Just by Ajman’s picture-perfect shore, Zanzi Bar of the Kempinski Hotel prepared an all-encompassing global menu, Greek, Continental, Middle Eastern, seafood, burgers, and desserts-for al fresco dining, breezy, original, and drool-worthy beautiful.
Community Flavor: What Locals Love
Discussions on the forum are full of compliments directed at Themar Al Bahar’s balance of quality and value: “a well-loved dining spot,” locals say, revoking its lively mix of tastes and affordability as the key reasons.
Final Bite: Why These Spots Shine
The epicurean delight at Marasea, the cultural vibe at Arjwan, the relaxed atmosphere of Themar Al Bahar, and the diverse menu at Zanzi Bar are just a few of the many reasons to choose one of these restaurants over a simple meal. They impress people with a moment: food meets ocean, tradition meets innovation, and every wave tells a new flavor story.
