Where to eat in Ras Al Khaimah if you love food with a view (As reviewed by visitors)
Eating out can feel a little routine. The food might be decent, but without the right setting, the experience often falls flat.
Ras Al Khaimah has plenty of restaurants where the backdrop is just as memorable as the flavors. From seaside breakfasts and Turkish dinners by the water to chic lounges with panoramic views, these spots turn an ordinary meal into a full sensory experience.
Here are five restaurants in Ras Al Khaimah where the view is gorgeous:
Shore House, The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah
Breakfast or dinner can feel rushed and forgettable without the right atmosphere.
At Shore House, mornings come with calm sea views, while evenings glow with sunsets over the water. Guests say the food matches the setting: fresh sea bream, octopus salad, Caesar salad and sliders prepared with detail and care. The chef even creates fully vegan dishes on request, a sign of both flexibility and attention. Service is consistently praised as warm and attentive.
Whether you’re starting your day with a peaceful view or ending it with seafood and olive oil like you’ve never tasted, Shore House turns a simple meal into one you’ll remember long after it’s over.
Orient Restaurant, Rixos Mairid
Many places serve good food, but the experience can feel generic and not live up to the promise of a “special night out.”
Orient Restaurant combines a modern Turkish-inspired menu with genuine hospitality. Guests describe being welcomed like old friends and given thoughtful recommendations. The setting balances cozy indoor seating with an outdoor patio by the water. Standout dishes include Beef Sish, Ezine & Domates and baklava with ice cream.
With its warm service, flavorful food, and waterfront view, Orient turns dinner into a full evening out.
Karma Kafé by Buddha-Bar Ras Al Khaimah
Stylish restaurants can sometimes be all show and no substance. Karma Kafé is the exception, blending atmosphere and flavor seamlessly. Guests love its striking design, with indoor and outdoor seating where framed by calm marina views. The menu is just as impressive chicken truffle gyoza, smoky grilled fish and perfectly seasoned sides win consistent praise.
Staff are described as kind and dynamic, making the experience feel lively yet relaxed.
With its stunning setting, warm hospitality and bold flavors, Karma Kafé is a must-visit in Ras Al Khaimah..
Ramsa Lounge, Intercontinental Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa
Afternoon tea can sometimes feel too formal or uninspired, leaving guests underwhelmed.
Ramsa Lounge elevates the experience with sunlit interiors and floor-to-ceiling views. Guests love the serene atmosphere and the beautifully presented tiered stand of savory bites, delicate pastries and mini scones with jam and clotted cream. Light meals like quesadillas and poke bowls also impress. Service is described as attentive and genuinely warm, setting the tone from valet to table. Ramsa is all about pausing in a calm, stylish space where the food, view and service come together to create a moment of quiet luxury.
