Must visit place for the drinks and live lation music ,iconic dubai spot .Was a bit disapointed with the BBQ prawns AED 157 for cold food is not cool & it was not so flavourful and was a bit hard . my second dish -Sea bass was cooked to melting perfection . Definitely a must visit place .Really hope they can change up the menu a bit .Tiki Puku Puka is a must try and any dubai person already knows this .
Perfect for a night out dancing and enjoying the latin music. Loved their atmosphere and decor, food was good. They don’t have a lot of option for nonalcohol, i had only few choices and when i picked it wasn’t the best.
Overall experience, lovely atmosphere and music would definitely visit again.
Their happy hour promo is the best in town. My friends and I used to go here every Thursday after work. the staff is so friendly and attentive. must try- London sour variant
Tried this place and ordered a variety of things. The food is good but portions are small. The ambiance and feel of the place is great!
Me and my husband was celebrating our 1st year wedding anniversary here. It was a very nice surprise for me form my husband. Being here made me so happy. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and the live music , bar specially.
We want to thank the chef who made our food great and also to Mixologist Jeyan and also thanks to Ruwanga for making our anniversary spectacular.
Thank you for all the staff who was doing there job pretty good. We would highly recommend this place to go and have a lovely time with your loved ones.
Amazing music, friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere

The Vibe and the setup of the new Luau Brunch here is simply amazing and what makes it better is the good weather and the live music.
The salads and drinks are on display however the hot bites, the mains and desserts are brought to the table. From the salad bar I loved the Chicken Hawaiian Salad, the Quinoa salad and the prawn cocktail. They have a large selection of salads which are fresh and flavorful. I tried the Virgin Pinacolada from the drinks and absolutely loved it.
I must mention that the service is a bit slow and I wasn't too impressed with the selection of Hot starters. We were served some Crab Rangoon Duck rolls, some cheese balls and some chicken wings. All of these were just ok, felt like they were fried and refried before they were served to us and they flavors were sure not creating magic on the taste buds.
The mains were surely my favorite part of the meal, the Calcutta chicken curry and the Roasted Salmon was what we called for. Love the flavors of the curry and the Salmon was cooked to perfection.
The Coconut Creme Brûlée dessert was another fav from the brunch. Something different from the regular and the flavor of coconut was just right.
I love the food and the aura of the place but what is so exciting is the fortune cookies that they serve after your meal! I think that is sooo cute!
The place is huge and i love the vibes and ambiance. The food we got is so delicious and the service they also good for sharing. The staffs are friendly and accommodating. This place is a must.
What a fabulous meal! Took visitors to show them the madinat. Ordered 3 curries and Kung pow chicken and all were served sharing style at the waiters suggestion- was perfect! Amazing flavours and very reasonable- not to mention the generous pours of decent wine at aed25! Staff couldn't have been more welcoming and efficient, what a great night!

If you want to party and love latino/carribean vibes and food, it is the perfect location for you!
Eric the manager welcome us as real guests, we love the rhum cocktails served in the beautiful glasses, plus starters and especially meat are perfectly cooked, we really had a great time, you can dance as they have a band who play nice music, you can only enjoy there, a must place to go!
A healthy lunch
Food ordered:
Tempura Fish n chips
Kung Pao Chicken
Ambience:
Perfectly Latin American: with Live music and ambience of Wooden table and sculptures can make it a nice bar.
Loved the table arrangements with a king cushioned chair.
Food:
Fish was fresh(unlike most other places where frozen fish is used) and fries well done. Liked tar-tar sauces as sides.
Kung Pao chicken - Sweet chilli with lots of Bel pepper and tender chicken with sticky white rice as sides. - Good food overall. 4/5
Service:
Professional (not much to add). 4/5
Overall 4/5
Amazing experience , great food and live music , fantastic ambiance, great staff. delicious food and drinks . Wonderful location in the Madinat Souk area. Wide variety of dishes on the menu .
The view from the restaurant was nice. You can enjoy the view of Burj Al Arab and boats passing by. My only concern was the soundtrack, we were there to have peace of mind and enjoy the view ( that’s why we like alfresco) but the moment we sit, they turned on the music outside as well.
The food was OK. I like what I ordered which was coconut fire rice and my husband go for tempura fish and chips. Expect people taking pictures along the canal and be ready to be a backdrop.
I have been to this place and all other branches many times... I feel it is big place when compared with WTC branch... Wherever it is, their live music is really good and pleasant atmosphere... Presentation of drinks are interesting... My favorite bites over here are chicken skewers (Especially the dip-in along with this) and tempura calamari... I am not sure whether people are aware or not, there is one drink which is out of the menu called 'Titanic' - this is my favorite and good having 2 for a evening
Whether you are looking for a nice, fancy and romantic restaurant to have dinner, or a fun night out to have drinks and enjoy good entertainment, then Trader Vic’s is the place to go. They have a very nice outdoor seating area and a cosy indoor area for you to have a nice dinner, or you can sit on the upper part inside, at the bar, to enjoy the live bands and have some good signature drinks.
Staff are all nice and friendly.
Tried the King Prawns Rougaille, and the 5 Spice Crispy Duck. Food presentation and how it is served is on point! Taste is really good, you can notice the premium choice of ingredients in all main courses.
They also accept Entertainer on the main courses, so you can have 2 for 1.
Overall our experience was really good, and would definitely go back again soon!
What better place to be on weekend? Such a pleasant and delightable ambience to sit and watch the sunset with an amazing meal and awesome cocktail options. The portion for cocktails is commendable, unlike many places.
I tried Salmon and would recommend for anyone who is there next time to try at least once.
Took my Mexican friend to this place at Madinat Jumeirah Souk. He really enjoyed the live music, latin ambiance and the tasty food. The cocktail Puka-puka is the best!
This place is really buzzing in the weekend. Go with your buddies and you will have a nice time. Food is good as well. They have nice band to make you interested in the place though out your visit.
Lovely atmosphere and great music. The staff and food is good and of course love the beer and tiki puka cocktail. Had gone there with some office colleagues and had a blast.
I love the location and the ambience, if you are a latin music lover you defenitely have to go there! They have a wide selection of cocktails, very strong I might add, and very original. The service is super good, and also the food is tasty!
3 of us had an awesome time that night. Great place.. Great music.. Awesome band..a wonderful place to shake a leg or 2..i will definitely visit again.
Great place for cocktails, lovely terrace with view on the Madinat waters.
Happy Hour until 8pm, the cocktail are amazing and nicely presented but quite strong!
Food is ok but nothing special, we prefer to go there for drinks, atmosphere and views!
We been there for some cocktails. Pretty good. Outside you can have a quiet dinner and inside you can dance and have a lot of fun! The fruit platter is not that much big as it looks like.
An all time classic hangout place in Dubai. It gets loud at night but still fun. Their Puka Puka drink is the only drink that can get to me! All their cocktails are strong , just to keep that in mind. But they have an endless variety. The service is always good. Their food is great but too heavy, wish they had more vegetarian options
After a long week of work the best place to chill is trader vics in madinat jumaira y can enjoy the good music inside and the beauutiful atmosphere outside and the yummy food👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 and the most important thing is to try their best drink ( singapora symphony) 😱😱😱😱
Nice and relaxing place to chill after a long week..Atmosphere music service outstanding...sitting outside chilling with a nice gathering of friends..place is one of these spots to visit in Dubai..
it was my birthday and the staff made my day....had a few drinks and the strawberry cheese cake was to die for.
Thank you so much for the arrangement and yes not to forget the lamb chops were melt in your mouth awesome.
waiting to go there again...
Great ambience, really impressed with the wide variety of cocktails. Must visit with friends. we had almost 10 types of cocktails and all were nice.
One of my favorite places, you get tasty food and dance on salsa music , great vibes!
Great for groups and fun dates!
Gets abit too crowded but the service stays good.
Last time I was here was maybe around 5 years back!!! Still is a great ok e and atmosphere... went with a friend and ordered the Indonesian rack of lamb and 5 spice duck... both amazing and to try for sure!!
Live music was great. The cocktails are pretty amazing. The place is a little small and table booking is highly recommended, also specify if you want table at the smoking side or non smoking side.
Probably not the best menu I’ve seen in Dubai but we thought we’d give it a go.
The tacos were unusual but we enjoyed them.
The burgers a bit under seasoned. Not the end of the works but we do like seasoning.
Mojitos were phenomenal!
“I love water, especially frozen in to cubes and completely surrounded by Vodka…!!!”
Wow what a place, this is a place to go if you need real good time, Wonderful food and awesome drinks. My place to go when friends come over. Beautiful ambience and excellent interior.
Some of my favorites drinks are
• Traders Vic’s Mai Thai
• Scorpion
• Traders Vic’s Passion Punch
• Tiki Puka Puka
Do try snacks/sides:
• Tempura Calamari
• Crispy Prawns
• Cho Cho
Staff here so awesome and always give you best recommendations. I would strongly recommend trying this place.
One of best latin music, and restaurant in Dubai.. but AC doesnt work properly in Bar area especially :( also puka puka drinks was more stronger in past (maybe it’s just me feeling like that)
Good place to hang out next to water front with friendly staff and good food. Range of cocktails is good in addition to regulars. Prior reservations are recommended over weekends.
Went there on a Thursday night, had 2 tiki pukas, 2 mains. The food was awesome, flavors, taste, presentation, flawless. Service was great, portions are relatively small for the price charged, not cheap, recommended if you have never been there.
Celebrated my 30th with tiki pukas and suffering bastards, absolutely love this place! If you are looking just for drinks, i suggest get there early and grab the lounge tables. One deathly drink i would recommend is Titanic - its not on their menu, so ask them to make it and you are sorted for the night 😬
As a famous chain Trader Vic's is pretty much standardised. Their tiki bar is good as always, with various nice drinks, and must try their beef cho cho! It is tender and juicy!
spacious and aesthetically designed . tried the tiki puka pukka it was amazing. Got a few starters too but the tiki puka puka was all trader vics needed to sell me to make me a fan for life.
Went back to traders after 3 long years . Expected the experience not be as good as the earlier one. Well NOTHING has changed, instead it's got better. Way better. The staff is still polite and the tiki is more potent than before. KUDOS team Trader Vic's can't wait to come back again!
Girls just wanna have fun! good ambiance ,yummy food mouth watering cocktails and very good service!!well spent weekends will surely comeback!👌👌👌
Perfect place to spend your day , enjoy with friends and chill
Great variety of cocktails 🍹 and food, must try my favorite tika puka and cheese balls
Great service and awesome ambiance 😊
Beautiful place with lovely view, we got drinks from “Tropical” and “The Strong” menu; however the Tropical one didn’t taste like alcohol at all and didn’t feel like it; though the Strong drink was quite good and taste was so good. Apart from those we ordered two stellas.
Also ordered one Caesar salad and one Original Cosmo Tidbits which taste good and was enough for two.
Nice music was playing and great professional singers and the band.
All in all, it was such lovely place that I’d like to go again.
The ambience is good but high prices on food even for appetizers. Do try Tiki puka puka drink. Good live Latin band to dance the night away!
Ordered the Indonesian lamb rack for dinner and it was great! I thought it was perfectly cooked and the peanut butter and mango chutney complimented the soft warm lamb perfectly! The side of noodles were nice but I would have liked vegetables instead because I didn’t feel noodles went well with that lamb rack!
Food : 4,5/5
Atmosphere : 5/5
Quality : 5/5
Service 4/5
Location 4/5
The atmosphere is fantastic, food is delicious. The quality of the food is exceptional.
Trader Vic’s always have been my all time favourite. The new look of Madinat branch really adds to the delightful experience. However please train your staff, service needs improvement. I went for a birthday last week and even 2 times I told the waiter I didn’t finish with my dish, he still managed to tidy up the table while I went to dance. This is really disappointing, and very impolite. You really need to train your staff to treat clients with respect. I am coming to celebrate New Year , hope this behaviour of your staff will be corrected and will not be repeated.
Also the band in Crowne plaza is better in entertaining the audience.

We had dinner and drinks on a Monday evening (9pm).
From the appetizers, you should try their cheeseballs and their beef cho cho (beef skewers were very tender).
For our main courses, what stood out were the Crispy Duck and the Paper Thin Filet (Beef) Flambe. The sauce from the beef flambe was really creamy with a nice tangy kick. These two items were prepared by the table so be ready for a nice presentation. ;)
For desserts, we had the 4-set platter, which was a combination of 4 of their desserts. Although to us, these were just okay and you skip them. Try to order the banana flambe which is much, much better.
The drinks are the main highlights of Trader Vic's. Great because the drinks are quite strong. Try the Seyhorse, Lanyu Punch Bowl, and Guava Mai Tai. There's plenty to choose from and if you get confused, just ask the staff as they'll be ready to share their tips on the bar menu.
Service was good and they were attentive to us. As for the ambiance, there's a live Cuban band that played that night. During the later hours, there's a small dance floor in front of the band. The music was good but it was a bit too formal for us. Crowd was mature and since we're not good dancers, we didn't stay long on the floor. Maybe during other nights, when it's busier, it would be even livelier. Overall, we enjoyed our experience in this lively bar and restaurant.
Thanks Suresh for taking care of us!
Great service and decor. Happy hour deals on food and drinks until 8pm. Live music most nights. Large portions. 5 stars for Amin and his fire show!
Their food was okay. The only reason I’m writing this review is because I loved their service and it was one of the best in Dubai. The staff members are very friendly and they managed to create a great experience for me. I was with my friend and she was just giving me my present and wishing me a happy birthday and the staff member( Amin ) heard her and got a desert prepared with a candle and got us chocolates. Without anyone asking him to do so, it was really nice of him.
It’s for this reason I’m planning to come back and visit this restaurant and try it out properly for dinner.
It’s small things like this that keeps the clients coming back and loyal.
Never left an empty plate the environment is amazing the service is perfect even when they are busy parking space also is available one of my favorite places in Dubai
it's a nice place to go and spend some time at night. there is a live music band. the ambiance is really good. the food is very well presented and taste really good
A very lively place with good music. Cocktails are amazing, should ry - Tiki puka puka . Amazing service and if you want to have a good nice chat with your friends, you should sit outside by the water. Place is little pricey but its worth it.
Excellent ambience.. the place Madinet Jumeriah itself is mesmerising.. Great music with live bands performing..Good food and amazing drinks... Tiki puka puka is a must try.. Lanyu Punch bowl and Mango Mai Tai were tranquilizing.. And cheese balls were yummyy.. overall an exciting evening getaway place..
Gokul Gopi
The place souk madina itself was a amazing experience . Very lively place with good music . Duck breast was lovely - wud definitely like to come again n try more dishes .
Whilst we are spoiled for choice with bars and restaurants in Dubai, Trader Vics (@Madinat), is my favorite go-to for a fun night out. If you're looking for fusion cuisine and great ambiance, look no further!
Went here with my gal pals last week, the cocktails were on point, and the music was invigorating, but the service was slow. For starters we had the spring rolls (crispy 4/5), beef cho cho (literally melted in the mouth and full of flavours that just melded so well together 5/5) and the cosmos tidbits (a mixed platter 4/5).
For our mains, we had the duck pancakes (5/5), massaman curry (shrimp was overcooked and rubbery, but the curry was flavorful 3/5), steamed sea bass (flaky and cooked to perfection 4/5), and the NY pepper steak (4/5).
We were too stuffed to indulge in dessert but it's already on my to-do list!
We celebrated our special occasion at traders Vic
The ambience was great
We tried the sea bass ..tiki poka poka and some duck rolls
The food was good however the service was bit slow even though the restaurant was not very full
But still I love the place
Went there for the first time today for drinks. The place is nice. We had 2 drinks that were really good. During happy hour, the prices are not bad. Only concern is the service which is a bit slow. Would probably visit again to try different drinks.
Great music for all latino lovers, with live band at certain times..loved the steak & frites with a big variety of exquisite cocktails! Perfect touristic location as well!
Great atmosphere, amazing cocktails , island vibes and awesome band. Perfect for big groups and for a night of dancing . Music will get your feet tapping.
Being located in souk madinat. Spending time there would be a nice experience. Staff are welcoming and very helpful. The time we visited place, they had a latin night with a live band performance. Prices are slightly expensive but it is worth the money!
First time here. Brilliant ambience. Great Food. Try the chicken skewers!!
Lovely place .. Ambiance, drinks and food is really great.
I do believe they can improve in terms of service.
Tried their sampler plate in appetizer, it has a yummy juicy lamb chops and crab wonton one of the best ever.
The duck roll are so light and delicious ..
Our friends took the pasta and a sandwich .. Portion was really good so as the taste and quality.
I do recommend this place and will go back to try their main menu :)
O
Filling portions, good service and tasty food is what you'll get, I wouldn't say perfect. MUSIC IS WAY TOO LOUD ... and we love music. Fish and chip batter could have been fluffier, it's a bit dark and oily. Penne sauce was tasty and textured. Three mains and an appetizer at 275 dhs pretty good for the setting and food. Service could be faster and more attentive.
*What's your favorite drink in the whole wide world?*
*Bahia. Always, Bahia at Trader Vic's.*
Some places remain etched in the mind forever and for me, enjoying that Bahia, swaying mindlessly to Salsa music, getting awed at the decor that hit close to home, the live music, the vibe - I'll be back.
Traders Vic. A place to be for party people and specially couples.. place is bit congested bt it serves u well with a variety of cocktails & cocktails..
Can Never go wrong at Trader Vic's. It's the home of the original Mai Tai. I've been going there for ages and still a hot favorite. The casual atmosphere, friendly staff and great drinks define this place.
Very good staff and excellent service from Amin who was very friendly .
The food and environment been great .
The total value of money is reasonable .
Thank you so much to our waiter Amin! He was very friendly, excellent service! We are coming back for sure we loved the food and the music !
It was a wonderful night thank u so much Amin 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 amazing service we loved it will be back definitely again and suggest all my friends and relatives this place to visit !!!
Trader Vics at Madinat Jumeirah is always guaranteed to provide a great meal with wonderful service and that is why it is our "go to" place.
Amin is our fantastic waiter who always remembers our exact order without asking anything and provides the best and most courteous service that either my wife or I have experienced at any restaurant in Dubai.
Happy hour is great value and the entertainment is always good creating a fun atmosphere so Trader Vics, Amin and his colleagues come highly recommended by us !
We had a great evening.
Restaurant was full. So we had to sit in the bar.
Enjoyed the small bbq skewers. The drinks are the bomb ##literally.
Fun night.
one of the oldest places i visited with friends. always brings beautiful memories. we had our friends birthday over there and it was so good. we danced to the latin music and enjoyed a great night to remember
