This top-class restaurant, with superb Arabian ambience created by fire pits and subtle lighting, serves exciting, complex fare in a luxurious beachside location. The French pastry chef at The Chedi’s indoor restaurant makes wicked confections, including delectable handmade chocolates if your sweet tooth tempts you. The multicourse tasting menu is excellent.
