Place with nice ambience, good service.
Desserts here are very tasty, Mirabel cake is my special love, really recommend if you like cherries and chocolate.
Food is tasty, but my dish today was very salty, however I ate, as was too hungry.
This restaurant is one of its kind with a chic decor and comfortable seating. Whenever i want to plan my girls day out i always prefer going to this place. Recently we went for breakfast at Arabian Ranches branch and loved our experience.
We ordered the Alfredo pasta along with chicken cheese sandwich and club sandwiches they were scrumptious. We had previously tried there breakfast menu which is also amazing with a huge portion size.
Among the drinks the best is Love Portion.
Very nice place to visit, lovely sandwiches and excellent service .
I Tried the Lasagna Al Forno and the Pollo Al Funghi Pizza both were tasty only the Lasagna had too much tomorrow sauce it was not my favorite actually but it was good.
The staff were Friendly, Nice place

The steak sandwich was the best but everytime we order it it becomes worse...the meat is dry and it was cold..
Still love the place though..
The portions are huge in my opinion, the food was great. I ordered the club sandwich and it felt like a #healthy version which was yummy. The fries aren’t greasy or oily which I loved and the salad had a #variety of different vegetables compared to most restaurants with just lettuce. The interior of the place was lovely and is one of the most #unique I’ve seen. I would definitely go back there #yummy
Visited this beach for lunch while I was house hunting in the area. I got the fettuccine pasta and the cheesecake . Both of them tasted brilliant . As always the service and ambience was spot on .
We love this place. Amazing desserts, very good food.
Pizza, pasta and main courses are very good here.
Do try chocolate pastry here.. my all time favorite
The food is very good and is fairly priced. Staff is extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend this place. Ambience is perfect for a family.
it was quite a good surprise to find a several vegan options in the menu so I deceded to try this sandwich with vegan cheese made with coconut milk
I can say that I like it!
The service is average as you can aspect from a franchise branding restaurant...need to improve guys...
Overall the experience was good
thank you!
Shakespeare and Co. serves really great food and drinks. The quality and taste of food was appetizing and nice. Food is expensive though but provides good value for money.
Love this place. The food is always amazing. Speedy service. Love there chocs and cakes.
Very nice outside when the weather is good. Eggs Benedict is very good.
The food is good here.. Staff are lovely. The spring rolls and chicken wrap is amazing!! The chocolate cake is also very delicious as well as the macaroons of course. Would recommend coming here.
Food and service is great as usual. We love the baby chicken with its lemony reduction.. the chicken itself tastes delicious and is tender. We also love their herb garlic butter 😍
a lovely atmosphere ,Shakespeare and Co. is a good place to visit , menu range and variety are amazing , the tea selection and coffee including the sweets and savory items are good to try , wrap and juices are also great , service as well a must try place
I love breakfast here, its really fresh and tasty, not to mention, I love the old Victorian style aesthetic of the restaurant. Its a place with a class thats for sure! I recommend it here! It totally fits the suburban environment as it is in Arabian Ranches.
The ambience is just yum. Sometimes i really don’t care how the food is and just sit back and enjoy the decor of the place. This place is just lit....spacious and beautiful. Coming to the food
1. Green Dragon Mojito - This was amazing, just as i wanted (more portion of green apple)
2. Their breads - i just love their complementary breads
3. Penne Arabiata Pasta - There was some fresh cheese on top of it which was a bit stale. But other than that it was on point
4. French Fries - This was amazing too
The salads is creative and tasty and the juice is fresh and good taste and the coffee as well I didn't try the main dish that's why I gave 4 stars
I have been there once
I ordered food and it was surprisingly good
Shisha was great
Staff were very polite
What I don't understand why this branch has actually good food while the others are not much
Thank you for giving us table outside when it was crowded
Much appreciated
Shakespeare with always the amazing interiors
Staff are helpfull
Bit of operal music
Am in love with the samon egg a must try
Also tried out burger is okay
Variety for inside shisha and outside
Quality is high
Prices are medium
The food is good but the glasses smell . We ordered food and bottle of water. The glasses which they pour the water in it has some bad smell. I think they need to clean it in a better way.
My favorite place in the neighborhood. Nice shisha, friendly team, and delicious food. I normally get English Breakfast but today I tried avocado toast along with French toast and fruit salad. French toast was perfectly made: not too soft not too hard. Avocado salad was delicious but I recommend you to apply little sauce at the beginning and try it. I found it a. Little bit too strong and sour to my taste.
The salads are really good there.
They make lovely pastas too and the bakery section is good too.
Had a blueberry cheese cake here 👍🏻
Service is good too. The decor is cosy with a Victorian theme.
This place is in the corner of the arabian ranches community its a nice place specially in the winter that u can sit outside and if u r a fan of shisha its a good place to enjoy outdoor and indoor .karak is not good alot but other foods are tasty.
I've been going to this place for the past 5 years for sure, as its very close to my home and I've always enjoyed their food. Recently they've updated their menu, can't wait to try some of their new items. Just yesterday after my meal I enjoyed the 'special dessert of the day' - Chocolate Mille Feuille...ah still thinking about it how good it was! :D
Always great service, very attentive and quick service whenever we've eaten at this particular Shakespeare & Co .
Good food...relaxing space and nice sheesha.If this is what you are looling for this is the place to be. We ordered a combination of Vegetranian and pollo al Fungi pizza and Spinach Lasagne.Taste and quantity was good for three people with moderate appetite.
Recommended.
Been to this place just to sit and relax with friends away from the hustle bustle of the city. Loved the place.. thought because of renovation most of the sitting area was outside, but availability of coolers didn't make us feel that we were being roasted by the dubai summer.😐😎
If you order before 9pm, shisha comes on half the price 😁
I love Shakespeare all the time and for main courses or salads, they never let me down. The food quality, quantity and service are always perfect.
I have tried this time Noble Fillet cooked medium and it is amazing, the beef is soft and very well cooked as requested. The fruiti di mare pasta is so tasty, rich and full with seafood .. I wish they add new things to the menu for more varieties after many years eating their.
While I love all the outlets of Shakespeare, this one's more special because of the location. Its perfect for the ambience - quiet and out of all the buzz. Great place to just sit and relax and talk with your friends.
Also here's where I tried their Carbonara Pasta with roasted walnuts. One of their best dishes on the menu.
Tip: Desserts at 50% off after 9 or 10 pm. :)

I love Shakespeare.
This Victorian era themed shop is a must to anyone who enjoys a cozy place and good food.
Every cent spent in this shop is somehow worth it. You just have to take advantage of the design and interiors and make sure to post instaworthy photos. lol
Ive been to Shakespeare Souk Al Bahar & Dubai Marina Mall. It was my first time in their Burjuman branch which I believe is one of their new branches. There were only a few people when we visited the shop and we were assisted by their staff. We appreciate the attention given to us considering that there were a lot of us and we were a bit noisy. The staff were very accommodating and explained the menu and the best sellers.
Since we had dinner before going, our intention was just to eat desserts. Thus, I ordered MELISSA. It was the most attractive cake that night. I just love it coz it is somehow coffee based and I love coffee. lol
It was good and was worth its cost. I'd love to order it again but might be trying something else next time. :D
The highlight of our stay is the voucher that Shakespeare is promoting until end of March. If you download the shakespeare app via appstore and then register, you'd automatically get a 25AED voucher which you can use at any Shakespeare store. :)
Isn't it great?
Appreciate the interior works! Impressive! Looks typical english, for some reason I remember Buckingham Palace every time i go there. They do have outdoor, One kind of the place to be around. Its one place i've stayed more than 5 hours with coffees, Place is quite good & friendly, Staffs need to be more attentive i wish! Like everyone is busy on their world, Pizza was cheap is very good, & Seafood spaghetti was good, they had mixed of calamari, snails & shells too. (Sorry if I'm addressing it wrong), They have nice plates & cups, looks elegant! it was good as well, must mention about their cakes, Yummy!
This place at Arabian ranches is one of the calmest and most relaxing place i have visited. The atmosphere is nice and the quality of food is very good. A recommended place to visit.
Located in the heart of Arabian ranches, Shakespeare and Co has a lovely ambiance with good outdoor seating. They have an amazing shabby and cheek themed interiors with mouth watering display of cakes and sweet tarts. Came here for an early breakfast and we preferred the outdoor seating to enjoy the weather.
Their breakfast menu is of reasonable size and has a wide variety of pocket friendly dishes to select. We ordered American, English, Healthy and Lebanese breakfast. The quantity was reasonable for ones filling and the service was prompt. Out hostess was very friendly, explaining the very little detail as well. Other than their awsome breakfast menu they also have a good selection of deserts. I highly recommend my friends to try this restaurant.
Been here several times, the breakfast is very nice, what I like the most is the variety they have on kids menu, it is very healthy. Service and ambiance is good.
Excellent breakfast, prompt service and friendly staff.. Great vibe in this place during weekend mornings, it is always buzzing and quite full. I also find the way this restaurant is done up interesting, it has this European old world charm.
Old favorite place to unwind and even have shisha. The ambience and decor is cottage chic and the food is from all over Europe. Their breakfasts are massive and delicious and so are the main courses. Particularly like the pizzas. Also like that their kids menu is healthy. And who can forget their luscious desserts! Specially the macarons that my daughter is a fan of!
The atmosphere is lovely, but sadly the food isn't. The coffee and Shisha are usually the things I go for and they're perfect. Perfect hangout spot.
Shakespeare & Co has started delivering through Deliveroo (who are awesome btw) so we've been ordering from here quite a bit over the last couple of weeks!! Food has been consistently great, still hot and has arrived in good time. Ordered the chocolate tarte for the first time today - it's safe to say that I was in chocolate heaven.
Polite and smiling staff. Apparently today there was a special offer? I walked in to get just one pastry, but they ended up giving me one free. I was so damn surprised. Made me really happy Shakespeare & Co! Thank you for this. Got the Pava Vanilla. Liked it. But it felt like that I'm eating iced butter. It was tasty nonetheless. The Mille Feuille was really good. Good end to my evening out.
Edit: Just had American breakfast at the eatery. It was yummy. Eggs cooked well to order. The sausage and bacon was lovely too etc. I enjoyed it. Plus the bill was 50% off!
this is my wife's favorite pre noon place to chill.to me, everything is average, but my wife loves the atmosphere.breakfast is usually good there.
I was looking for a salad this evening and wanted to stay nearby. Shakespeare and Co was conveniently located nearby at Arabian Ranches. The outdoor area was quite full, so I was only able to get a table around the corner. The salad I ordered was tasty and very well presented. The service was friendly, but since my table was somewhat hidden, I was forgotten about. Overall a good experience and probably will be back again.

Recently I've been stuck with a string of bad restaurant experiences and am happy to report that Shakespeare and Co. has broken this bad-luck chain for me with a wonderful breakfast. We visited the restaurant famished on an early Friday morning after a 20 Km cycle trek in Al Qudra. We ordered the American and healthy breakfast combos which were served fairly promptly - I was very happy with the serving size and the attentive but not overbearing service. The breakfasts were served with toast, juice and coffee/tea - each item better than the last . The eggs were poached a tad too runny but it's a fault I'm nitpicking at because there were no other.
All 3 of us polished our breakfasts off and we also ordered an extra orange juice because it was absolutely delicious.
In addition to the good food, I also really enjoyed the quaint and unique decor, reminiscent of Elizabethan times (not that I know what Elizabethan times looked like, but I imagine this is a close rendering). We were able to sit alone in the non-smoking section, and thoroughly enjoyed the decor. Would strongly recommend!
Great place for a good breakfast or lunch. Enjoy the ambience , less of hustle bustle than the other branches in Dubai. Particularly like their salads, coffee.

Place 3/5
Not bad but nothing special.. I will come here again only if I'm nearby and lazy to go somewhere else.
My favorite spot for my Friday morning coffee and breakfast! Friendly staff, good breakfast choices and amazing micro-mini cakes served with the coffees.
Been to a few different shakspeares around Dubai and love the consistency and quality. Reviewing this one as I have pics from this store.
Burger was well done, juicy and tasty, great bun, wasn't a huge fan of the coleslaw but everything else was great, good classic burger, quite happy.
The chicken stroganoff was raved about for about 15 minutes, our friend loved it and I must admit when I tried it I was surprised, really tasty and presented well.
Peri Peri prawns are amazing and come sautéed in this incredible sauce.

Shakespeare one of my favorite places if i crave something sweet and a Shisha. Had chocolate fondant the other day and the waiter politely reminded me that it will take 15 mins as it will be made from scratch. So heaven in a dish was brought to me and it was so indulging. Cooked to perfection with that runny center what more can a girl ask for. Mmmm perhaps a Moroccan tea... :)

This cafe caters to breakfast,lunch,dinner and anything inbetween. The interiors look like the icing on a cake. Pink, baby blue,emerald green...heavy drapes and victoriana era upholstery. It is an ideal place to enjoy a cup of tea with some cake from their patisserie. Their patisserie is decadent and tempts one to indulge. I love all their cakes and tarts but the lemon tartans exceptional....perfect balance of sweetness and sharpness and the pastry- buttery and crumbly. Their food is good cafe food with sandwiches, pastas and pizzas but I generally go for theur healthy breakfast which includes egg white omelette,toast,Turkey bacon, a fresh juice,yoghurt,fruit and tea/coffee. Their pasta and pizzas are also nice. They also serve sheesha so people who wanna laze around. Socialise over coffee....it's an ideal place. They have branches almost everywhere in dubai so I'm sure you can get to one easily. Ny favourite branch if theirs is the.one at trade centre just cause it makes you feel like you are sitting in a glass house...Which it literally is!
Entering Shakespeare one is instantly transported into a Victorian Drawing Room filled with aesthetic and eclectic pieces of furniture, wall paper, lights and ornaments. This is the kind of place one could sit in the whole day only because the surrounds induce so much comfort and inspire creativity.  Â
One of my favorite places for breakfast!
I usually get the eggs florentine here, which is the best according to me. But today I got the chicken crepe and my mom got the vegetable sandwich. She loves it because it's grilled just right with zucchini and sun dried tomatoes.
The crepe was delicious and creamy and I paired with some freshly squeezed orange juice. Nothing beats their orange juice btw. The coffees here are great as well and they come with biscuits and mini cakes.
For first timers at Shakespeare, you will love the Victorian vintage styled interiors. I also like the service at this location a lot! Also the cakes here are a must try!
#ZomatoSummer
Good Food variety and nicely decorated. I tried the salmon burger and the seafood spaghetti and both were very good. I will definitely come again for dessert
Arabian Ranches is an area I don't frequent much but the wife needed to do something there so we decided to stop in at Shakespeare. I'm kind of a fan because it hasn't let me down and I know what I'm getting when I go there. No surprises and sometimes that's what I want.
I went with the American Breakfast like I always do and it did the trick like it always does. I really enjoy the big, fat hash brown and the mushrooms. The wife went with a Savoury Crepe with turkey ham and cheese. I tried it and it was nice, but it could've used a kick since it was a tad on the bland side.
Service was great and everyone went home happy.
I like this branch it takes you away from the busy life. The food is good with a good variety. Their juice and teas are overpriced but overall its a good change.
Good international food and nice setting indoors but shisha is now only outdoors. Favourite dishes: pasta Alfredo, steak, desserts and Moroccan tea!
Arabian Ranches for a big community lacks good restaurants. Shakespeare without doubts is the biggest crowd puller.
Classic Shakespeare ambiance with great service is what makes this restaurant the clear pick amongst all others.
Only place in the community that serves Sheesha with Al Arrab under maintenance since a couple months.
The food is also not that bad. I liked their pasta a lot at the Arabian ranches outlet.
A clear choice in absence of other good restaurants in the community.
This place has grown on me for the past few years. I used to dislike it but now I love visiting the place for some quiet lunch or dinner. The shisha is a nice touch, too! I've had a lot of their pasta dishes - bolognese, alfredo, arabiatta, carbonara and the lasagne. I've enjoyed all of those dishes! They were well prepared and the presentation was always great. It's not too pricy and the quantity of the dishes are always very filling. I would definitely come back.
Me and my family like this place, it has a nice outdoor seating and is not super busy on weekends like the rest of Dubai.
We always come here for coffee, dessert, and dinners.
Food is good, service is good, seating is a bit old and some chairs are too dirty.
Prices are ok, a tad expensive for its range, but it seems to be fine.
They have the best selection of cakes, tarts, and ice creams. So we never miss the chance to get a dessert.

Ordered the Cesar Salad and grilled baby chicken, full marks for taste! I loved the very victorian ambiance! Good selection of heavenly desserts!!
The food took too long to arrive, but the waiter kept us busy with a bread basket and a collection of jams and honey.
The shisha was nice, and the dessert was fresh and creamy for the cheesecake. Too much chocolate in the chocolate cake it was very sweet for my taste.
A very nice spot for family outings and @not many emaratis go there so it is mostly expats.

I was encouraged (= forced) to go to Shakespeare and Co. this morning – again. I have never quite understood why any man (with the exception of the very sensitive kind) would want to go to a place where someone with an obsessive Laura Ashley fetish was given free rein to design – those wall-to-wall-to-ceiling frills and repetitive flowery patterns become torturously claustrophobic – scary even. I am beyond all that now – in fact I now know that Shakespeare and Co. is more than just a hangout for Alice and the Mad Hatter – it is also home to a pretty decent breakfast. Avoid the beef bacon and turkey sausages, which are ghastly, and everything else is good if a touch bland; but nothing a pinch of salt and pepper or a dash of Tabasco can’t fix. Their version of hash browns, heavily seasoned with Rosemary, are quite unique and very big – certainly worth a try. I loved the grilled potatoes which come with the English breakfast, they have a pleasing hint of garlic to them – subtle enough to keep you smiling and hello, how are you-ing throughout the day without resorting to SMINTs. Also noteworthy were the mushrooms – served as a side. If you like Smoked Salmon – I strongly recommend the Eggs Florentine – it’s a far better proposition than the Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs – which really, you can do at home. Best of all however is the 5-star service – polite, courteous and always attentive. Friendly? Frocked up the way they are I’m not sure if I’d want them getting too friendly. Will I go back? My wife says, yes – of course I will. So there you have it – breakfast at Shakespeare and Co.

Our aim was only to have the dessert. So before entering we just go through their menu displayed outside, for the dessert you have to check the patisserie selection for the day. We just glared through the glass shelf, and decided what we need.
We ordered Melissa and Hazelnut Succes. (Whats with those names I wonder!!!! )
Within minutes it reached our table, and both looked awesome.
Melissa : Almond Macaronade Biscuit base, then chocolate sponge filled with chocolate coffee mousse and coffee cream and covered with chocolate and caramelized nuts. Decorated with a Chocolate Macaron and coffee beans. Everything was gelled together perfectly. Good dessert and that chocolate macaron was so delicious.
Hazelnut Succes : Layers of Almond Macaronade biscuit filled with hazelnut cream, covered with milk chocolate glaze and roasted caramelized hazelnut. Husband liked this over Melissa. I liked both.
I recommend trying out both desserts, both were good, but not the best I ever had.
While going back, I had a look at the patisserie again; they do have some awesome colored macarons. Wait for me; I am coming back for sure.
:)
Great food, great service. I had ordered the Traditional Fish and Chips with Hot Chocolate, and I was very impressed. The atmosphere was very inviting and the staff always have a smile on their faces and greet you with a "good morning". The food was delicious, the free wifi was great and the ingredients were farm fresh.
I am definately coming back here with friends.
Totally worth the price!
Perfect for a late lunch! Great selection of cakes and pastries!

As the weekend bells start ringing, all you need is a good night out with some delicious food. Shakespeare and Co. provides you just that. The restaurant is spacious and the staff friendly. They have about 3 different sitting areas including a non-smoking area.
Well this was about the restaurant, what about the food? There is no need to worry, the food won't dissapoint you either. As me and my friend sat down, we were immediately asked for drinks. We ordered the same followed by the starter and main course. The complimentary bread served by the restaurant along with the condiment is fresh and the condiment delicious. The paste includes garlic, basil and a mix of a few more ingredients. Once you are done with it, you already have a plus one for Shakespeare in your book.
As for the starters, we ordered Chicken Satay (as recommended by the staff member). The Chicken Satay is served with a peanut sauce along with croquette potatoes. Not only is the Chicken Satay tasty but the croquette potatoes are yummy too. Our main course was Cordon Bleu which consists of a breaded chicken escalope stuffed with Turkey ham, cheese and a few veggies. The main course was decent but not as good as compared to the starter.
For dessert we tried the Creme Brulee which is served in a short crust pastry along with vanilla ice cream. The dessert is worth a try too. Overall the experience at Shakespeare was a good one and a visit is recommended.
