New outlets to look forward to in the coming months include Bice, Left Bank, Italian Kitchen, Paul Café, Mango Tree, Karma Café, Sammach, Milliardaire Club & Mirai Restaurant, and Shakespeare Café, amongst others. Most restaurants and cafés line the waterfront promenade, where al fresco dining offers the city's best views of the Burj Dubai and Burj Lake. Souk Al Bahar has the largest Spinneys supermarket in Downtown Burj Dubai, in addition to a varied retail selection comprising jewelers, handicraft shops, fashion & accessories and gift shops.

The exceptional ambience of Souk Al Bahar is further complemented with impressive views of the Burj Dubai and direct access to The Dubai Mall, which is set to open later this year."
