A contemporary cafe with roots in a warehouse in Al Quoz, this ethical coffee shop has newly opened in City Walk.

Stars of the menu? We love the fluffy pancake stack and the house-cured salt beef sandwich.

Made famous by Julia Roberts in ‘Eat, Pray, Love’, this modern pizzeria offers authentic pizza from the wood-fired oven. The pizzas are huge - think falling off the plate - and the lasagne has that home-cooked taste that makes your stomach sing. Another bonus? C2 District is licensed, so you can enjoy a drink with your meal while soaking up the ambiance of this light and airy restaurant.
