This new restaurant on the West Beach Palm boardwalk is a real success. Most of the tables are set up in the sand, facing the Marina and the Ferris wheel of Dubai. Ambiance music which can become very loud on weekends. Inspired by the beaches of Bali, the menu offers dishes from Asia and Europe. Resolutely relaxed, with fan feet, it's an air of holiday in this place that is filled every night, even during the week. You have a large salad with a small cocktail and life is good at Koko Bay.

If you come to Dubai and are looking for a good meal, great music and a nice beach restaurant vibe, I’d recommend you try Koko Bay.
Located in the Palm West Beach area, which has a lovely beach promenade for a nice stroll before or after dinner.
We had a really pleasant evening with a live DJ (Antonio I think was his name) playing both soothing and also energetic electronic music… interspersed with various instruments which he played himself, what a treat! Also he was extremely obliging to everyone who wanted a pic or to dance along. Loved his happy energy and friendliness…he is an asset to the restaurant.
The ambience is friendly…and no pressure to dress up to the nines, even though the menu is quite refined.
Now the menu…first of all we were impressed by the selection of Cocktails - very unusual and beautifully displayed in a newspaper format with photos…gives you an idea of what to expect. The cocktails themselves were a good pour size compared to some other high end restaurants and tasted good.
The food menu has a great range of eclectic cuisines…this can sometimes be a negative - but Koko Bay has managed to pull it off by serving a great Thai papaya salad …whilst *also* making an equally delicious burrata salad.
The dim sum, truffle fries and crispy bream were beautifully done and tasty.
And the desserts were the icing on the cake. Even in the Michelin star restaurants it’s hard to find a good gluten free *and* dairy free dessert (other than boring sorbet)…usually you either get one or the other. Koko Bay managed to swing it with their gluten free and dairy free Hawaiian pineapple carpaccio dessert, which was delicious and served with a dairy free scoop of very delicious ice cream. . Such a treat for anyone but especially those with dietary restrictions, usually have to skip dessert due to the lack of dietary options, but not this time!
The staff and service were fabulous. Food came out very quickly, was impressed. Shout out to our server Manuel who provided us with suggestions and recommendations while we were trying to decide what to order.
Overall a lovely evening and a great find…will be back!
