Dubai’s Pier 7 has everything to talk about: the buzz, the skyline views, and more. But the latest news flying around is the upcoming addition of a stylish new Mediterranean bistro, Elaia Dubai. Slated to open its doors soon, this latest launch promises a fresh wave of flavours, Instagrammable interiors, and a whole lot of seaside charm.
Elaia To Open Soon At Pier 7 With Mediterranean Bites And Dubai Marina Views
Set inside the iconic cylindrical structure of Pier 7, Elaia spans an entire floor, similar to its neighbours. But it definitely stands out in its design. The space is coloured in calming hues of blue and white, which immediately reminds you of Santorini sunsets and Grecian courtyards. Add to that the wood accents, rattan furnishings and hand-painted murals of Greek gods. The setup includes a large central bar, an open kitchen with a dedicated pizza oven, and multiple seating styles. Expect from comfy counter stools to balcony tables that flirt with the marina breeze. Whether you’re dropping by for a slow lunch or glamming up for a dinner date, Elaia looks ready to serve the vibe.
A Menu That Speaks Mediterranean With Flair
Now, let’s talk food. The menu is all about what Mediterranean cuisine does best: keeping things light, fresh and deeply flavourful. Expect a mix of classic and creative, with a generous nod to Greek, Italian and Middle Eastern influences.
Starters are made for sharing. Think smoky melitzanosalata, creamy tirokafteri, and pillowy flatbreads straight out of the oven. Mains will please seafood lovers with options like grilled octopus dressed in harissa romesco, while pasta fans can twirl into handmade delights. There’s also a good showing of wood-fired pizzas and hearty keftedes that bring a rustic charm to the table. And for dessert? Save space for the olive oil cake or the magnum baklava. The beverage menu complements the food beautifully. There’s a stellar cocktail selection, a carefully curated wine list (with wallet-friendly options, thank you very much), and thoughtful non-alcoholic creations for those keeping it dry.

Inspired By The Greek “Steki” Spirit
What makes Elaia more than just a pretty face is the philosophy behind it. The concept draws from the Greek word steki, which translates to a go-to place where friends and families gather, laugh and linger. With its welcoming aesthetic, well-executed menu, and unbeatable location, Elaia feels poised to become a new Dubai Marina favourite.
