Visit ZEA Dubai
ZEA has just opened in DIFC, bringing a modern Mediterranean restaurant and lounge into the Emirates Financial Towers.

Dishes lean into open-fire techniques and premium produce, with highlights ranging from fresh seafood starters and handmade pastas to Australian Wagyu tenderloin, lamb chops, and whole Dover sole designed for sharing. As the evening progresses, the space shifts from a refined dinner setting into a lively late-night lounge, backed by a cocktail programme built around Mediterranean botanicals and an Old World–leaning wine list.
