An Italian three-course lunch with a view of Dubai Creek costs AED 135. Less than most hotel buffets in the city. That’s the quiet appeal of Boardwalk at Dubai Creek Resort. What started as a seasonal experiment has settled in for good: an Italian-style business lunch by day and a proper Aperitivo by golden hour, both running Monday to Friday. Here’s what each one gets you.
Lunch all’italiana – The Business Lunch at Boardwalk
Forget the desk salad. Boardwalk’s Italian business lunch is built for lingering conversations, seasonal plates, and that view of the boats while your colleagues eat at their keyboards.

- Ricotta & Spinach Ravioli in pelati tomato sauce
- Mussels Orecchiette with garlic, broccolini, and red chilli
- Roasted Corn-Fed Baby Chicken
- Pan-Seared Sea Bass

Aperitivo at Boardwalk
If Italians are good at one thing (okay, they’re good at many), it’s the art of the Aperitivo. Boardwalk’s version is a Creek-side sundowner designed to stretch your evening well past one drink. Expect house beverages that don’t break the bank, Aperitivo cocktails that taste like vacation, and Italian bites that land just as the sky turns gold. Cold cuts, cheeses, marinated sott’olio and crostini, if you want specifics.
Details:
- Offer: Aperitivo drinks and Italian-style snacks
- When: Monday – Friday, 4 PM – 7 PM
- Where: Boardwalk, Dubai Creek Resort
- Price:
- AED 175 for 2 hours of free-flowing drinks with Italian bites
- AED 35 for house beers and wines
- AED 40 for selected cocktails from the Aperitivo menu
Before You Book
Both experiences run weekdays only, so plan around the work calendar rather than the weekend. And if you’re wondering whether that Creek view survives a Dubai summer, here’s how Boardwalk keeps waterfront dining on the menu all year.
