CAFE DU ROI

At the foot of the Al Hana gallery towers, not far from the Oryx hotel, the Anglo-Saxon version of the café hesitates between the bistro, tea room and deli-chic worlds. The slightly isolated terrace of the roadside alley is welcome on mild days, just to calm down a little hunger. A popular meeting place for Emiratis, this old-fashioned café offers coffee, croissants, pains au chocolat and cakes, as well as classic sandwiches. It's a nice place to take a break if you're walking along the Corniche.
