Review: MYAMI Restaurant, Bar & Lounge

Set within the Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, this venue channels a distinct South Beach spirit in a breezy, open-air setting that feels relaxed yet thoughtfully styled. Surrounded by warm sea air and glimpses of the city skyline, the venue captures a coastal atmosphere with a playful twist—mint-green panelling wraps the central bar, woven chairs line the space, and greenery spills from overhead shelves and corners.

The design flows naturally from bar seating to lounge areas, with every element, from soft lighting to earthy textures, curated to create a relaxing space. Hanging lanterns glow gently as the sun dips, while the backdrop of rhythmic music and cocktail shakers adds to the laid-back atmosphere

The highlights

Once settled into our seats adjacent to the bar, we perused the menu and kicked things off with starters. The Crispy Calamari landed at the table hot and golden, with a light, crunchy coating and tender rings inside, paired with a creamy chilli aioli that packed a satisfying kick. The Loaded Fries brought a serious hit of flavour—piled high with juicy pulled beef, mashed avocado, spicy mayo, chives, and a bright, punchy papaya salsa that kept things from feeling too heavy.

For mains, the MYAMI Salad was a refreshing choice, full of crisp baby gem, sweet grilled shrimp, bursts of corn, creamy avocado, and crunchy plantain chips, all tied together with a light, zesty Caesar dressing. The Tropical Jerk Chicken was a favourite—the chicken nicely charred and juicy, with the sweet corn and lively mango-pineapple salsa adding just the right contrast, while the side of rice and black beans kept it hearty and satisfying.

Desserts kept the momentum going. The Chocolate Donut Cake hit all the right notes, rich without being too much, with caramelised pecans for crunch and a scoop of peanut butter ice cream melting into a glossy butterscotch sauce. The Citrus Cheesecake was light and playful, with a fluffy vanilla cream cheese espuma, zingy orange-ginger salsa, and a crisp lime sugar tuile giving it a refreshing, tart finish.
