A Spectacle Of Speculoos
+5
To the special occasion called life.... kickstarted by Shakshouka and a warm onion soup topped with a crust of cheese that was served with side of assorted breads with an amazing pesto butter and then rounded off with chicken cordon bleu and Croque ma’am..... a multi flavor fest in Shakespearean garb
Lovely ambience
Staff is welcoming
Food tastes good
A lovely place with a vintage romantic spirit. Ordered a medium well beef tenderloin and it was finely cooked. Though, the salmon fillet is not recommended for those who don't like eggplant.
Apart from the amazing entrees this place offers - it has great cakes as well!! This strawberry cake was super soft creamy and loaded with fresh strawberries- I am in love with this cake! A must try!!
Great restaurant, will go again.
Decor wise, you can never find fault in Shakespeare.. In Ibn batuta mall too, the restaurant is located in a quite corner away from all the hustle and bustle of food court. Though the seating capacity is limited, the place is beautifully decorated. This time we tried their salad and foul for the first time and I must say both the items were on the point. Salad plate was big and very well decorated.. kids were so keen that they loved it more than our fav pizza there. Nutty is our fav drink there and it’s freshly prepared.. a nice and quiet dining experience if u don’t want to eat in food court.. always so satisfying and appetizing.. and don’t forget to download their app to get points and offers..
Lovely place, friendly staff, high quality food,very nice decoration in the branch, super tasty cakes, acceptable prices

I went with friends and loved the Signature decor, Coffee and pastries at UAE homegrown cafe, Shakespeare and Co. Have you been yet? If not, do visit soon☕️ #restaurantreview #cafe #Dubai #ibnbattutamall #foodblogger
Nikki was very friendly and helpful 🥰 The food is great as always, I love it!
Great variety of food and dessert, especially their chocolate fondant, and pave cake. Staff are very friendly and great ambience for a cosy family meal.
You can use zomato gold to have buy one get one deals. The interiors and ambience gives a vintage feel. The portions are huge and we leftovers.
Visited this place post dinner time ordered for fondant au chocolat it was freshly prepared and served to me within 20 mins of time which is actually pretty late . But no complains coz the dessert was really good not bad at all .
Nice interior design and ambience. Love to have an afternoon tea or coffee here. Staff are friendly too.
I am completely in love with their pink sauce pasta. Its not on their menu but you can still order! The blue cheese spinach pizza was a bit bland for my taste. But i was so full with the pasta, so didnt complain about the pizza much. They had a few pastries on 50%off, as expected they werent fresh so i didnt quite enjoy them. Would definitely go back for the pasta!

Visited this place so many times but never wrote a review! It's a great place to chill and hang out with your friends and play board games (that's what we did there). And there's sheesha too, if you want. Nice relaxed ambience, but if you're going on a match day, go early to get good tv-facing seats!
They have really good milkshakes and iced coffees too. My favorite thing to order there is the hummus toast. It is delightful, and you should surely try it! Vegetarians will get sufficient options, if not too many.
They have good juices and crepes, as well. What I like most, however, is their dessert. They are delicious but on the pricey side. Their chocolates are fantastic. I recommend their chocolate covered hazelnuts. And also their house made chocolates, with really interesting flavors. There macarons, however, are disappointing, so refrain from experimenting with them.
great interiors. very colorful design & so english setting.
great food. especially the desserts.
nice service by courteous staff.
Shakespere ce grand cafe restaurant..merite bien nien d etre visite...pas seulement les bon plats delicieux..mais aussi le choix de leur cafe...sublime..

Great service, great food, and lovely ambiance. The variety of food in their menu is wide and the while family can enjoy, including the kids. We'll definitely go back!
The facade is adorable from the outside and when I entered, staff’s directly greeted me with a warm smile and hello. Food is exceptionally delicious too. It was late in the evening when we went there so we didn’t order much but over all is experience is a 4star for me.
Entering Shakespeare & Co. is like stepping foot into a different era. The decor is Elizabethan and whimsical, a delight to experience. The staff are polite and helpful and entirely modern in their service. The pastries are decadent and the food is fairly good. I'd recommend you stop by for some coffee and biscuits or a pastry. The pricing is slightly on the higher side, but worth it I'd say!
They also offer shisha, of this is something you're interested in.
Shout out for good customer service by Ms. Dominique!!
Upon being seated, we were offered complimentary basket of assorted bread along with a very yummy take on butter - which included a bit of parsley, ginger and other flavors which made it really good. Good enough for her to offer us one as takeaway!
She recommended us to try:
1. Whole-wheat Spaghetti with Smoked Salmon: pesto sauce flavored spaghetti with small salmon pieces. Tasted good. Just wish there were more salmon pieces in the dish since it was hardly seen! Serving size enough for one. AED 55.
2. Rainbow Pad Thai: bursting with flavors and colors, good combination of both veggies as well the noodles. We added chicken to the dish at an extra cost of AED 11. Good portion size for one hungry tummy! AED 56.
Shakespeare’s app offer of 50% discount on the bill sweetened the deal! Good place to try for healthy options with good variety.
Shakespear and CO is one of my favourite restaurant in IBN Battuta Mall . I visit often , this time I have tried Toasted hummus & voddles . Both the dishes were amazing . Superb taste . Highly recommended
From their breakfast choices to their mains , from their lip smacking deserts and in house chocolates , coffees and Shisha - you are spoiled by the choices . True to it’s brand name Shakespeare carry its own style and never fail to disappoint you 😋👍👌
Wonderful place, great decor and amazing food. Especially the way the chef garnishes is lovely. Must visit with family and friends. Staff is courteous and warm. Keep up the great work!!

Really nice cozy place. Good shisha and the staff is really friendly, if you have work or study to finish drop your kids off at the mall or chick e cheeze and have some quiet me time at shakespear.
A great place for a quick snack and coffee. This place has a huge menu.
The french toast is amazing, and I loved how it tastes.
I am a huge fan of eggs benedict and i was not disappointed. The eggs were made perfectly.
The prices are reasonable
The service is great
the food is spot on
The decor was nice.
Last week I went there 3 successive days, tried different shisha flavours in 3 days and all were ok. I tried beetroot salad and I can say it's perfect.usually I like the main courses and salads.. deserts are ok but what makes desserts attractive is 50% discount after 9 PM. Shakespeare application also enables you to collect points which u can redeem anytime.
The thing that I don't like there is the non smoker place is really congested which doesn't make this branch a convenient place when my kids are with me.

My favorite place to fulfill my sweet tooth as they havr a lot of nice cakes
and they have a 50% discount to if you buy the display cake after 9 pm both small or big size, but you have to download their apps aswell, which worth your mobile memmory space as they are always give you rewards
The desert is nice, the beef ribs and the fish are just average. Like the decoration there, nice for photos. I’d like to eat the chocolate cake again!
Had a breakfast there. Food is good, i like the olives they serve. In general food is good.
The only thing they have to work on is the hash browns, its crispy but flavor is not authentic, needs some adjustments on the recipe.
Not very good first time visit but I believe they can do better , good food and drinks with shisha but the value for money we didn’t see that fair . Little improvement can bring more fitful to the restaurant
Nice ambience, always a game or something on the tv, good place to come and do some work. Good shisha and attentive staff. Only small complaint is there is no hummus with meat.
Regular visitor for food and shisha. Very good service and staff is is extremely polite and always attentive. Welcoming of the staff until you leave is one of the best too in Dubai.
Very good place to hold meetings and you receive points for every spent Dirham...
Every now and then there is a new eatery that opens up in Dubai and here is my list of top 5 Must Try restaurants in Dubai. This list is across the cuisines I really like and the restaurants I have had some of the most fantastic food and time with my family and friends at. Pai Thai: Delectable Thai on the riverside
This outlet in Ibn Batuta Mall offers the same food variety and quality I am used to from other branches. However what I don’t like here is that it is not as spacious as other branches; a bit dark and not cozy. However our lunch was delicious.

Visited Shakespeare and co for breakfast on a weekend and must say this The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We surely enjoyed the food and the interiors out there .. the English Breakfast and the American one which we chose was great (even took photos so we could try to replicate at home) 😊

One of our favourite places for a lazy breakfast on Friday or Saturday. Portions are quite fulfilling with a reasonable price. Very generous place; you can get a large breakfast plate with 1 fresh juice, 1 coffee and toasts with butter/Jams for around 65 dirhams. Lovely place with fast service
Beautiful interiors and we love this place as we frequently visit this restaurant whenever we are in IBN Battuta Mall. We ordered Cheeseburger and Margherita Pizza. The prices are a bit expensive but the food is amazing and service is good.
Had a great evening with friends here and the staff behavior was so pleasant as he bore the different request and changes to our menu so politely
Enjoyed our togetherness with the delicious tortilla wrap and the fresh lime mint juice
This restaurant keeps surprising me everytime i try something new. This time i had shisha with coffee and Haloumi Focaccia. The sandwish was so tasty and the zaatar crackers served with it were so delicious. I would recommand everyone to download the SAC app. They have good offers there.
The Tea was perfectly steeped or immersed .. and the Pave Vanilla was sumptuous.. Excellent customer service .. the whole staff were so accommodating and nice.
Thank you and will see you guys again..

The best part about Shakespeare is huge portions! It is an ideal choice for a hearty breakfast or a filling lunch.
Start off with toasted breads & garlic butter followed by the mains. Delicious Omelette done well served with coffee & juice makes a perfect breakfast combination. Burrata salad is another must try, healthy & wholesome. Spaghetti Pasta is recommended too.
Ambience is warm, cozy and Interiors tastefully done to make it a comfortable dining area with soothing pastels pleasing the eye. Staff are attentive and engage well.
This is one place you can’t go wrong. They always deliver. Although Shakespeare’s by Dubai standards has been here a while, they have been consistent on their food and service. The most friendly member of staff is Naveen in the Ibn Branch 🙌🏼 I love shakshuka eggs and these were delicious. The avo toast with eggs is also another favourite for breakfast!
I had breakfast with a friend and we ordered eggs and avocado on toast and the American breakfast, both tasted good and the portions are generous. I do wish their were some smaller breakfast items available when you don’t want to order something huge, like overnight oats or chia pudding in smaller portions.
apart from just relaxing in this place with a good old grape mint shisha and a moroccan tea, i love their banan foster! great combo to cap off a weekend before heading to busy work week ahead!
I love this place. Big selection of food , drinks and shisha. Food is very tasty. Had breakfast and lunch there. Recommend beef ribs. Was just amazing. Stuff is friendly. Shisha guy wasn't make us wait much( always around) highly recommended
My friend invited me to this place, and we really enjoyed our experience on Shakespeare and co. The ambiance was very elegant, the food was great and all the staff was very helpful...
Great choice of chocolate cakes & pastries that goes perfectly well with the Mint tea and Grape Shisha. Comfy sofas to sit and relax late in the evening. Decor is Victorian meets Dubai lifestyle. The person serving the Shisha is a professional & courteous. And you can watch some live sport in TV. Small screens though.
We tried the breakfast platter options at ShakesPeare and Co. We tried the American and English breakfast options which come with an orange/grapefruit Juice and Coffee/Tea option. That makes it a very good combo.
Both the options are pretty generous with a good array of items along with fresh bread and Jam/Butter. We really liked the Roast Potatoes and Hash Browns as they were tasty. The sausages were good, the eggs were done in a good way too. Basically we didn't have anything to complaint about all the items they made and they were all done good, simple things done good without any blunders. That made the overall experience enjoyable.
All in all it's a good return for your money as the food is generous and tasty.
If you're looking for a consistent place to sit and have coffee and some dessert then Shakespeare is the place to come to while shopping at Ibn Batuta mall.
They do have entertainer vouchers that you can use for main courses and sandwiches.
Great place and love their decoration and furniture. shisha is ok but not wow. i tried their food few times and i can say its good and refreshing. def one of my fav places in the uae

Totallyyy Satisfied with the food, quantity of the food, quality of the food and not to forget the ambience 😍
This cafe was a total Vintage cafe and loved each and every bit!
The staff was so friendly and on the toes! ❤️
We ordered a Veg Pizza with 2 drinks and we were sooo full! Also we were served with warm. N crispy breads when we sat along with Minty Mayo which was yum too!
Totally recommended!
Also for all those non smokers there was a seperate sitting area from the smoke.
Must visit guys!!
A perfect afternoon and evening hangout with friends a family...tasty food....refreshing drinks and super friendly staff.
Loved my perfect evening with my beautiful sister.
Always fascinated by the decor ambiance and menu.
Breakfast on a Friday around 10.30 house was already packed.
Staff were running like crazy but happy
Loved the coffee specially they have soya milk
Order egg Florentine and indulge in the tastes and feel fool with the quantity.
Best place to have your weekend brunch. The breakfast deals are wholesome and delicious. Menu options are simple, user friendly and to-the-point. Even my 5 year old son loves it and requests me to visit this place every weekend when he wakes up.
Staff is very professional, friendly and accommodating. You can also install their app and get discounts for cakes during the late night hours.
The food here is exquisite. My fav is the smoked salmon salad. I have never tasted salads anywhere the way they make it here. Just love the butter mixed with herbs. Coffee is great. Dessert are really mouth watering...its a must go.
I love Shakespeare! The food is a bit expensive but absolutely amazing! Their portion size is too too good and taste is drool worthy! I love their chocolate cappuccino and will never not order it whenever I go there! So, if you want shisha and good food then Shakespeare is your best bet! P.S.- their all day breakfast is a must try!
went with Family for lunch, hear allot of this place from friends. Food was ok nothing special really, desserts also was nice but ordinary. Good rating is given for good service.

Shakespeare and Co can be found in the China Court at Ibn Battuta Mall and it's a perfect venue for Friday morning breakfast as you can see! 👌🏻😋 We enjoyed caramel macchiato and very berry smoothie, the American breakfast and breakfast burrito with fresh orange juice and a pot of tea. 💕💕 Shakespeare have their very own style of interior decor and have made their concept relaxing, the service is prompt and efficient and the food arrives within about 10 minutes, hot and with generous portions. No complaints whatsoever we love this place and will be back again soon! Well done Shakespeare! ☝️☝️
It’s a very nice place for a laid back breakfast and they have a wide choice to serve your cravings. The portions are very huge so the breakfast is good enough to take care if you till evening. Need to try other things on the menu.
Can I review if I just ate one item here ? I guess I can as I am kid . I went here for just one dessert - the amazing Mogador . Mogador is a perfect . Chocolates and hazel nuts . Guys you have to give this dessert a try . It’s brilliant and awesome
Shakespeare is an expensive cafe
But their breakfast deals are great
Their shisha is good but not wow
Their black coffee used to be great then suddenly became really bad
I used to go there alot but then I stopped
But truth to be told, the staff are very friendly
Its amazing what ever you eat and the all day breakfast is a bless
Onion soup is heaven and mouth watery a must try
Egg avocado toast with smoked salmon was a star
