Great beach bar in a good location: Restaurant Barasti (13. December 2017)
The Barasti Beach bar is located right next to the Le Méridien Mina Seyahi and the Westin Mina Seyahi and is actually part of the Westin. The place is rather huge and you get a nice selection of also late at night which seems to be a bit of a problem in most restaurants in Dubai. We inquired in about 5 restaurants before Barasti (which we chose out of convenience and proximity) – none would serve food after 11pm. Anyways, the “burger” was decent and so were the fries.
If you’re hungry, the “nacho plate” looks like a good option. I didn’t actually get to try it as my colleague completely devoured it within minutes :-)
The place itself is actually quite nice but it gets chilly in the night during December – which you can compensate for by enjoying a Shisha. Which is served by a specific shisha guy who keeps changing your coals whenever you ask for it.
Overall, the Barasti is nothing spectacular in terms of food but it is atmospheric and quite fun during the day, I imagine.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
