So happy with the food, drinks and service. I enjoyed my charcuterie, cheeses and bottle of wine. Perfect venue for casual meet-ups with friends. Friendly staff.
Cozy place to spend a lot of time when it gets a bit cooler ( they have blankets ), I recommend the cheese platters and pizzas to snack on.
Very casual place. I came for a quick drink right after work so it wasn't packed and was able to find a corner table.
Was happy to find that they have Moscow Mule, which was served the traditional way. Loved it.
The worst client experience in Dubai after trying hundreds of restaurants...
Both waiters were rude and so useless!
They put a cold tea on the table and it took them literally 20 minutes to come back to us.
When I called the waiter - he said “ I m coming” but he never came back until now. Instead, he went to check all the other tables.
The waitress was also very rude. No smile, no Hi, no sorry for the cold tea. Nothing!
I will never go back there and will make sure all my network is aware of the poor level of service there.
Perhaps because we didn’t drink wine... Maybe customers who order wine have a better treatment... but me and my friends are Muslims so we don’t drink!
Undoubetdly one of my favourite places in Dubai. Its not commercial at all and is definitely a hidden gem.
The place is hidden inside a hotel at CityWalk with lovely minimalistic woody interiors and just good vibes. Their massive wine collection is lovely, the Angus burger is probably one of the best burgers I've ever had in Dubai, the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
I've been to this place a couple of times and I've never been disappointed, highly recommended for wine enthusiasts and people who enjoy good conversations without screaming over blaring speakers.
Warning:
The air conditioning is not working at the moment. And restaurant simply refused to shut the very large and wide main door which lets heat and humidity right inside the seating area.
barring the heat. The venue has a lovely rustic feel to it. Great selection of wine and cheese.
Need to work on their mock tail menu as they have none. Their ice teas are filled with syrup- not fresh fruit ( disappointing considering the amount the charge for it).
Our waiter “Kevin” was of great help with referring wines and keeping us hydrated with the AC situation.
Went to the Grapeskin to catch up with some friend. The place is cosy and the ambiance is nice. We had a cheese board. It was rich and tasty. A good variety of cheese. Professional and friendly staff
Good food choices and really good value for the price. The wine again very good choices without burning the credit card. A lovely setting in a nice hotel if your around city walk, I would recommend it
Must try their wine and cheese. The staff will help you out on choosing the perfect wine/cheese you need. A good place to chill with your family/friends.
Perfect for large groups/happy hours
!
The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fun, which made for a great night out. A suggestion would be a clearer menu or waiters who can explain it better - the portion size is unclear
Visited on a wine tasting evening.
Wine selections in the tasting was not so varietal yet better experience and prices than offering from their set wine menu. Not exactly a wine tasting experience but good enough to try from 2-3 wines and pick one for eve. I would have loved a wine flight experience though.
In terms of food not many good options for vegetarians. Bruschetta and brownie sundae is definitely worth a try.
High on Ambience, quiet yet lively place. Good place to chill around city walk.
Good place. Their service has improved significantly and the vibe is great. Their food is always good quality and the cheese boards r the best!
Expensive place .. no zomato gold offer on the outdoor if you want shisha .. good ambience , good shisha . Had a good time even though I did not get zomato gold .
Great hangout in City Walk. Waiters could be a bit more friendly and less uptight though. The steak was a perfect medium rare to my liking and the sliders standout!
Amazing place, very friendly and professional staff, very cozy and even live music is nice and not annoying.. great for a date or friends night out, and hey, you gotta eat there, the food is deliiiiicious
This place is amazing. I have a fixed menu set to order whenever am at grapeskin. shisha, nachos, cheese platter and massaya lebanese wine. You guys if you are a wine lover you have to checkout their collection.
Amazing outdoor seating and indoor as well! Love the place a lot especially their cheese platter that is full of variations! Great job guys and amazing welcoming service!! Thank you
Favorite place lately 😻 Great customer service by the staff, cozy atmosphere, great choice of wine and snacks. Perfect when you're not feeling like clubbing
After work drinks on Thursday evening At grapeskin was a treat... great location, live music, and yummy food... the meatballs / sweet potato fries were the best... the Chardonnay was smooth... Shaukat - our server was the best!!! great great local find so close to work... definitely will go there.
Its an excellent place with great wine and great food. Would be excellent to go again, have to admit the ambience and the setting is excellent.
This is an amazing place ... it is one off the best places i have been to in recent times ... the staff is good and their foods amazing too. A must go.
Great spot with chic decor and a very chill ambience!
Service is fast and the food and drinks are at a reasonable price ...ps, out door seating at this time is a plus..lovely spot!
We only went here for pre-dinner drinks but we loved the vibe of grapeskin. It was mid week so as you’d expect it was relatively quiet but because of that the service was great, the drinks were amazing and we loved how relaxed it was. Perfect for casual drinks.
Celebrated my birthday here yesterday and I couldn't have chosen a better place! They were very efficient with managing table bookings and accommodating customer preferences. Cozy and relaxing ambience and one of the best outdoor seatings in the city for big groups. High tables with dim lights and no crazy music. Perfect to enjoy a quiet evening out with friends in good weather.
The wine and cheese pairings are definitely an experience to try out. (Our favorite was Gruyere!) Our server was very helpful and efficient in managing our table. Helped to pick out the cheese for us novices and also made it very easy for us to settle the Zomato golds in our bill.
A suggestion to management would be to include their cheese menu here on Zomato.
Amazing ambience and wine list. I loved the concept of how they had different wines for different moods! I would definitely come back to enjoy the outdoor seating once the weather gets better. Must visit for wine lovers!
P.S. Dont miss their various options of cheese for their cheese board! You can pick the one you like unlike other places where they have standards cheese boards!
The atmosphere is just right here. Take your time and slow down don't be in a rush and try the small plates with some beers or bring your office colleagues to impress.
Perfect place for wine and cheese. I tried Riesling, Pinot noir with cheese board. Quality wine was served with delicious cheese. Great staff and attentive staff. Definitely going back 👍🏼
We randomly selected this place for a friends birthday because they served both alcohol and shisha. The place is just amazing. It was quite sparsely filled, for it was a weekday. We first sat near the bar counter and then moved on to the shisha tent on the opposite side. The ambience of both these was really good. They have Zomato Gold too! All the more reason to visit this place.
Nice and cozy place to visit with family & friends... Recommended to visit on Tuesdays night... It’s Gentleman’s night... Food quality is awesome and service is good....
If you are looking for a place where there is alcohol and shisha, with good food, I would vouch for this one. They have a great collection of wine and cheese. Beef burger sliders also taste really good. Shisha was excellent. Staff is very friendly. Must visit for wine and cheese lovers!
Nice bar, I had 3 Margaritas and they were all delicious. Nice vibe and great staff. It’s kinda quiet but it’s probably because it was a Saturday night. Would definitely come here again for drinks and next time I’ll try the food!
I love this place so much! It’s a place where you can have fun with friends without having to scream at them because the music is too loud. The place feels classy but it’s a casual wine joint. Good selection of wines—they have emojis on the menu to help you what kind of wine/night you want to have. :)
Visited Grapeskin on a Thursday night for drinks and shisha. Above all, I would like to praise and acknowledge the staff who are not only hospitable, but very knowledgeable about the wines and drinks on offer.
Grapeskin has a great outdoor setting and would definitely be a first choice to visit in better weather. The shisha was very smooth, with the kind of hospitality that one is not accustomed to in fancier shisha cafes in Dubai. The cocktails are creative, with bartenders always willing to lend their ear to recommendations and specific asks. The wine list is comprehensive without the surcharge seen at usual five star restaurants.
Overall a great place to chill out on a weeknight or weekend.
I’m rating your establishment 4 stars (would have been 5) only because the service was weird. Our server had no knowledge of the beef charcuterie items because ‘he did not eat beef’. I understand that most people have food restrictions but I don’t think it’s appropriate to mention that to your diners in a restaurant. We’d also asked him to recommend a good cheese apart from the usual, and he couldn’t help us there either and we chose a terrible cheese which we almost gagged on (DO NOT PICK THE SOFT SHEEP CHEESE). And he made no move to get us another server who was well versed with the menu. I’ll chalk it down to our server being new and inexperienced but it was still a strange experience. Still loved the place for the gorgeous venue and the beautiful selection of wines.
The place was very cute and comfortable with quality wine selection! If you like arak, must try their Lebanese sour! The cheese was very good, while their service was highly attentive.

So I have been here twice and both times thoroughly enjoyed the ambience , food and beverages. Service is good too. They have a good wine selection . Both times I had the chicken burger that they sorted from the Chival Social which was yummy. As was their falafil burger. Our daughter enjoyed the pasta and the marshmallow with chocolate sauce. Lovely place to sit outside and enjoy the ambiance in good weather .
Very cool wine bar in a cute boutique hotel at Citywalk. We came for a fun painting event but we did manage to try the drinks and food as well. Baked camembert was amazing, sliders were good but the loaded nachos too salty. Staff were very friendly. It’s more of a drinks and snacks kind of place like wine, cheese boards and cold cuts. Great for a light weekday night out.
A lovely place to spend an evening with your friends.
They have Sheesha, alcohol and food.
Though the food menu wasn’t extensive and was only party food.
We definitely enjoyed the cheese platters and the nachos
A great place to unwind after a long stressful day of work. My girlfriend & I had a pleasant evening. The food was delicious. Definitely coming back here 😊
Grapeskin is popular for its wine and cheese spread with small plates and international Tapas. It has both indoor and outdoor seating area. We opted to sit out taking advantage of good weather. We were a large group of friends looking for outdoor area with a bar and sheesha and thankfully Grapeskin fulfilled the criteria.
We ordered most of the small plates on the menu along with drinks and Sheesha. The staff was very helpful and prompt with their service and suggestions. Nachos , bruchetts and grilled chicken skewers being the favorites. They also gave us an option to order from the other restaurants in the hotel for food. Visited this place on Tuesday which is gentlemen days and men can have 2 drinks free from a selected menu upto 10pm. Great service and place! They also gave us a small cake in gesture for my friends 30th birthday celebration.
-Dine in experience-
Location: Very good
Parking: Complimentary valet parking at the hotel
Ambience: Cozy/ comfortable/ overall great
Service : Attentive and the waiters are well informed
Menu: Minimal/clear
The food is: Great! Got the kofta and chicken skewers
Others: Nice Shisha
Would definitely recommend the place. Especially outdoors
Beautiful place for the wine lovers, nice hideout to sit right in the middle of city walk.
Perfect to go for your quiet evening glass of wine.
Went to the Grapeskin tonight. They claim to be the wine place and apparently serve wine according to ypur mood.
But tbh it was disappointing. My husband loves wines and knows a lot about it. So I took him to this place. But sadly the servers there had no knowledge of the wines. It was as if we had gone to any regular bar.
If you claim to be specialist in some area, do show some effort!!
I don't think I'd recommend this to any of our wine loving friends
I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at this fantastic venue. I made my reservation through Mr. Guillaume who's the bar manager and as per my request, the table was ready when we arrived. Grapeskin is a speciality wine bar with a food menu consisting of international tapas and small plated. Their drinks menu is also very elaborate, with Shisha being a cherry on top. The service was prompt and friendly, though I believe that adding another person in the waitstaff will elevate the entire experience. The menu is really well priced, I can easily see this place booming with people in near future. Thank you for the great hospitality guys, as well as the surprise birthday cake. You'll be seeing more of me!
I'd call it a Hidden Gem for a wine & cheese connoisseur. Don't worry if Dubai isn't thinking of having Vineyards, you can do wine tasting right here. Three perfect wines from different parts of the world served with a platter of the best cheese suited for the wine. We ordered some crunch and munch to accompany the rest of the wines we gulped and gulped.
The dips were amazing especially the peanut hummus and truffle dip.
Food is above average and service on a weekend is a pretty slow.
The interiors of the place are amazing and during winters it’s the perfect location for a sheesha and some wine.
We regularly visit grapeskin and are never disappointed. The food, the wine and the service are all exceptional. It’s a lovely novelty to have such a beautiful open sky licensed garden in Dubai.
Had a fantastic birthday at Grapeskin. It deserves a higher rating than it has right now. Quaint, cost atmosphere with great food and service. The staff were excellent with a big group, everything we ordered to eat was freshly cooked and delicious. Definitely going back for more.
One of my favourites In Dubai. Both interior and exterior are great. Staff are amazingly friendly and the wine is on point. What more do you need?
Here is information every guy would like to know.
Men’s night on Tuesdays offers 2 free house wine drinks with a platter of beef!
Anti sexist dining! I absolutely love this.
Visit them on Tuesday.
I loved the interiors, high ceilings and great but subtle decor. The service is not too bad either.
Wasn’t crowded at all when we went. Going again for sure!
Great chilled out vibrant ambiance.with good music ..very friendly staff and great service .👍👍 good atmosphere created by decent crowd ...located perfectly well , both inside sitting and outside sitting is good .great selection of 🍷 with concept of mood wine 👍...for place like this one would not think high on food but the food was really good 😊 👏👏 try the potatoes with 🍤 and chicken 🍗 it's was great and for that price was superb 👍..and the shisha is the cherry on top 🤗🤗All together a great place to hang out with friends...for a good evening 🌆
Hidden away in the corner, away from the bustle of life, Grapeskin provides an amazing place to sit and enjoy a glass of vino or nibble on the cheese board that comes along with it. Known for their house wine and cocktails whether you prefer that to be virgin, they have it. Amazing place to sit and relax, enjoy the music.
Great ladies night, great tissues with a meaning 🤣🤣🤣really worth of coming! Design is nice, hight bar chairs and sharing tables, brusketta is delicious, olives are really home made.
Amazing wine selection and superb food. I love the fact that they have different measurements for wines. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Ambience is cool. I would definitely go back to this place.
Great wine 🍷 great beer🍺 and awesome decor. The place has a very relaxed vibe and friendly staff.
Although when I arrived at around 5pm on Friday, they didn't have most of the items mentioned on the menu.
Maybe visiting this place at night would work best.
Great restaurants with good food and wine, nice service.Thank you Georges, you made our evening and amazing experience at the GrapeSkin
Definitely we will come back

Ambience stirs you up and pumps you up for a chilled out evening. Good food, service, vineyard. Food as well, a promising menu however believe it may need a little more shaping up. For instance, the Kofta roll, which was good in its mix and taste, however the bread roll was too dry..the garlic prawns had more potatoes..
Overall vibe: chill cool place to hang out and have some fun with the vineyard mix and food can be reasonable fill too.
Awesome staff! Port master is a perfect cocktail for someone looking for a sweeter version. Garlic prawns are a tasty choice. A nice place to chill out with a glass of wine whether you are alone or with friends
Great service and the food was great too. We enjoyed the lobster pizza. Karl was assisting us throught the night. Thank you Karl. It wont be our last visit for sure.
Literally searched through Citywalk for somewhere to grab some wine with my friend who I last saw three years ago! And thank goodness we found this gem! This place is definitely a go-to! Thank you — Olivia — for being the cutest ever! We had so much fun! 🥂🍾❤️
Tried this place on Thursday evening. It was quiet inside but occupied outside. I love the interiors very industrial and urban. Love the detailed accessories and finishes. Coming to food we ordered veg spaghetti which is not in the menu but they made it specially for us, also avocado sandwich and fries. Food was really good and appetizing. It's a perfect place to unwind after a long day with nice wine and live music (only on weekends I guess)
Why go there:
A hidden gem in the middle of the city - perfect hangout for sheesha, drinks and a laid back evening.
We discovered it while walking up and down the city walk. Tucked away from the main alleys in the courtyard of La Ville hotel. Very chic and cozy. Service is great (Haroon was very obliging). Perfect ambiance.
We had smoked brisket and octopus. Decent food. Sheesha is AMAZING!!! Must try.
Happily discovered this tucked away gem while walking around city walk. The courtyard is so refreshing and different. Decor of the place is nice and they have this gimmick of pairing wines to your mood, which is a fun idea. Good selection of wines from around the world. Food was tasty. Service was an absolute winner here. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable and cheerful. Seating arrangements are cosy, and the place has a general feel-good vibe to it.

Stop press: there is now Happy Hour between 6-8pm... try it! The Gerard Bernard Red blend is a bargain....
Grapeskin has the potential to be a very "in" place indeed, particularly for the Jumeriah crowd looking for something local and classy.
Dubai is the perfect place for decent wine bars, but somehow the concept always gets watered down by making them restaurants. Grapeskin knows what it is, food is very much nibbles (I can't wait to try the escargot) and wine is the order of the day. Venue is lovely, next to City Walk in a stand alone building on the opposite side of the patio from the La Ville hotel, giving it a sense of independence, lovely decor and atmosphere and I incredibly friendly staff.
A few teething issues: the wine is much too expensive. To pay more than AED100 for a glass is robbery, however here that's one of the cheaper options. Were these grapes grown in the garden of Eden? Secondly there isn't a happy hour (yet - I have a feeling that the business minds will see sense) and thirdly no Entertainer or Ladies Night. New places always think they're highly unique and "better than that" but quickly learn.
So, if Grapeskin sorts out these few points and "gets with the Dubai program" it will quickly become one of your favourite places.
Cool concept. Drinks are recommended based on your mood :) Nice outdoor seating. Good variety of wines. Service was not the greatest. In general the staff is not friendly, except for one very cool guy called Naing. He was very hepful and friendly and turned around our experience with this place, what otherwise would've been very poor.
Ellen, the sweetest person I've ever met and she makes the atmosphere and the experience to this place extra fun she is simply phenomenal. The decor and theme of the place is right up my alley .
P S if anyone likes garlic, than this is the place for you. #awesome menu
