Plaka — Al Mizhar
One of Dubai's most talked-about new openings, Plaka brings Mediterranean charm to Al Mizhar. Located inside the beautifully restored Villa Mabrooka, the café features lush gardens, striking blue-and-white archways and a greenhouse-inspired glass pavilion that feels more like a Greek island retreat than a neighborhood café.
It's quickly becoming one of the city's most photographed coffee destinations.
