We’re talking huge flower walls, beautiful trees and more…
It’s the year 2021 and, lets face it, almost gone are the days of a restaurant getting by on the menu alone. These days, aesthetics are seriously important and some Dubai venues have gone above and beyond. Many restaurants are swinging into floral themes in a big way, from humongous flower walls to floral arches and beautiful trees.
Step into spring with these stunning floral restaurants, and don’t forget your camera…
