Indulge in authentic flavors, lively traditions, and stunning Palm views at this new Greek taverna
Dubai, UAE, October 2025 — Aloft Palm Jumeirah proudly unveils Meraki, a vibrant new Greek taverna where soulful flavors, warm hospitality, and lively entertainment come alive against the breathtaking backdrop of Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah.
Meraki—a Greek expression meaning “to do something with soul, passion, and love”—captures the true essence of Greece. Designed as a cozy yet spirited neighborhood taverna, Meraki blends rustic charm with a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Guests can choose to dine indoors surrounded by warm, authentic décor or outdoors on the terrace, where sweeping 360° views of Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf, and Dubai’s glittering skyline create an unforgettable setting.
At the heart of the Meraki experience is its signature seafood market. Guests are invited to handpick the freshest catch of the day—whether it’s shrimp, calamari, langoustines, or a whole fish—and have it prepared exactly to their liking: grilled with olive oil and lemon, oven-baked, folded into pasta, baked on a crisp pizza, or nestled inside a traditional Greek peinirli boat bread. The menu celebrates the essence of Greek dining: authentic, fresh, and designed for sharing. To elevate the experience, Meraki also offers Greek wines, ouzo, tsipouro, and storytelling-inspired signature cocktails, each honoring the flavors and traditions of Greece.
“With Meraki, we wanted to bring the heart and soul of Greece to Dubai,” said Mohamed El Aghoury, Multi-Property General Manager. “This is not just another restaurant; it is an authentic Greek escape where guests can experience real flavors, genuine hospitality, and the joy of gathering together. Whether dining indoors in our taverna-style setting or outdoors with panoramic views of Palm Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf, every detail of Meraki is designed to transport guests to the warmth of the Aegean.”
Meraki at Aloft Palm Jumeirah is open daily from 2 PM to 11 PM, offering both indoor and outdoor seating with unmatched views of Palm Jumeirah and beyond. Complimentary valet parking is available.
