TimeOut Winner Best Seafood 2026. EGE Restaurant at VIDA Creek Harbour is one of the standout greek-turkish seafood restaurants in Dubai right now. We have eaten here multiple times across 2025 and 2026 and the kitchen has remained consistent throughout.
VIDA Creek Harbour's Aegean seafood — terrace plate-smashing, Burj Khalifa views, fresh fish. Won Best Seafood 2026.
Here is the full case for what to order, what it costs, and how to book.
The Setting: EGE Restaurant
The EGE Restaurant dining room runs the greek-turkish seafood idiom faithfully — the kind of fit-out that signals genre commitment rather than trend-chasing. We've seen the kitchen at full capacity and at lunch quiet, and the consistency holds across both.
Service is professional and pacing is correct for the cuisine. The senior team understands the menu well enough to recommend orders rather than just take them. Smart casual dress code applies.
The Food
The EGE Restaurant menu is the result of a kitchen that knows what it does and doesn't dilute. The signature dishes are the right starting point; the supporting menu fills in around them.
The Must-Orders
Whole Grilled Aegean Sea Bass
Whole sea bass, charcoal grilled, Aegean herbs, olive oil, lemon. Served whole at the table, deboned by the server.
Octopus Carpaccio
Thinly sliced poached octopus, capers, paprika oil, lemon. Greek classic done with fine-dining precision.
Greek Mezze Platter
