Inside Le Royal Méridien Dubai’s dining line-up, from Maya to The Beam

Quick summary

The resort’s dining page brings together chef-led restaurants, a steakhouse, a sports bar, a café and relaxed outdoor options. Rather than describing a newly announced opening, it provides a practical snapshot of the property’s restaurant collection and published service times.

There are important differences between venues. Rhodes 2010 closes on Sundays, Blush Wine & Cocktail Bar closes on Mondays, and The Beam lists only a lunchtime service on Sundays. Zengo still appears in the wider dining introduction, but its individual listing explicitly marks it temporarily closed. That status is worth noting before building a dining itinerary around the Asian restaurant.

Maya and Indya bring distinct chef-led menus

Maya by Chef Richard Sandoval centres on Mexican cooking, Latin American flavours and dishes intended for sharing. The resort also highlights its roof terrace and frozen margaritas. From Monday to Friday, its listed hours are 7pm to 12.30am. Weekend lunch runs from 1pm to 4pm, followed by dinner from 7pm, finishing at 1am on Saturday and 12.30am on Sunday.

Indya by Vineet takes a different culinary direction, serving elevated Indian food under Chef Vineet. The concept revisits familiar Indian dishes through new ingredients and interpretations of the chef’s food heritage. It opens from 6pm to midnight on weekdays. Saturday and Sunday add lunch from 12.30pm to 3.30pm, with the same evening hours. Both restaurants specify smart casual dress.

Bistro cooking, grills and regional favourites

The Beam is described as a homegrown neighbourhood bistro led by Nick Alvis, with an emphasis on seasonal, local, fresh and reliably sourced produce. The dining introduction identifies its cooking as European. Weekday service runs from 5pm to 11pm; Saturday has lunch from 1pm to 4pm and dinner from 7pm to 11pm; Sunday service is 1pm to 4pm.

Rhodes 2010 focuses on grilling and shared dishes in a contemporary setting. It operates Monday to Saturday from 6pm to 11pm. For Middle Eastern cooking, Al Khaima pairs traditional flavours with views of Jumeirah Beach, opening daily from 6pm to midnight.

La Strega supplies the Italian option. Its weekday hours are 6pm to midnight, while Saturday and Sunday run from 1pm to 11.30pm. All four venues list smart casual dress.

Breakfast, brunch and more casual stops

Brasserie 2.0 covers international dining throughout the day. Breakfast runs daily from 6.30am to 11am, and dinner from 7pm to 11pm. Lunch is listed from 12.30pm to 3.30pm except on Saturday, when the afternoon service is 1.30pm to 4.30pm and the venue serves its special brunch.

For a less formal setting, Le Cafe has garden views and daily hours of 8am to 9pm. Le Deck serves Mediterranean food in shaded surroundings and lists noon to 6pm opening hours. Beach Bar serves cocktails and snacks daily from noon to 8pm. These three venues specify casual dress.

Shades combines a restaurant and sports bar format, opening daily from 2pm to 2am. Blush Wine & Cocktail Bar focuses on cocktails and its visual setting, with service Tuesday to Sunday from 5pm to midnight. Both list smart casual dress.

Why it matters for Dubai

For diners choosing somewhere around Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach, the useful feature is the range within a single resort. Mexican, Indian, Italian and Middle Eastern restaurants sit alongside a steakhouse, a bistro and international dining, giving groups several distinct starting points without changing property.

The schedules also make the choice more specific than cuisine alone. A Saturday afternoon visit could centre on Brasserie 2.0’s brunch or one of the restaurants with weekend lunch service. Sunday evening requires a different shortlist because Rhodes 2010 is closed and The Beam has no evening service listed. Those distinctions help turn a broad restaurant search into a more workable plan.

What it means for creators and venues

For creators researching potential Collabs, the published details provide clear editorial angles: sharing dishes at Maya, Indian reinterpretations at Indya, seasonal sourcing at The Beam, or the beach views at Al Khaima. Each angle comes from the venue descriptions rather than an assumed campaign brief.

The source does not confirm any Collabs, creator invitations, filming permissions or partnership terms. A dining listing should therefore be treated as research, not evidence of an available collaboration.

For any proposed coverage, creators and venues would need to agree practical details separately. The listed service windows and dress codes are useful starting points, while Zengo’s temporary closure is a reminder to check venue status before planning a visit or publishing recommendations.
