XVA Café

What a little find! Great food, great service and beautiful decor. My only critique was the tea wasn't strong enough

Peaceful, authentic lunch stop after visiting the busy souks. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. With gallery, which makes it even more interesting. It is also a cool place with a lot of shadows since there is a big beautiful tree in de middle of the restaurant. Homemade apple iced tea is amazing.

More expensive than Starbucks but ok.
The water is served in a chemical pot with a lemon on the tip.

The place is very quiet in the evening, the vibe is a little bit scary but nice: dimmed light and weird arts pictures everywhere. There is a gallery room and the staff are so friendly.
It's definitely your place to go if you are looking for a quiet area with dim lights and pet friendly

A part of the XVA Gallery.
Solemn, tidy, cozy and nice place to stay if you are not in hurry.
Staff are accommodating

A place with a relaxing atmosphere and a big tree making good shade. There is a fixed menu for the day. Recommend lemon tart and homemade lemonade.

Quiet and cozy cafe, friendly staff.
Coffee price starts from 18aed, they serve breakfast and lunch as well

Amazing little gem! You won’t want to leave this place… Home made apple ice tea is something incredible

It's a nice place. The eggplant and feta dish was really delish. Neat place to stop for a wee bite and a coffee

A very very chill and relax place if visiting Dubai during Summer. Ordered the sweet crepe + ice coffee for breakfast to start my day and it was excellent the whole place is definitely an ART

Rice pudding was normal boiled basmati rice with milk and sugar, it was definitely not a rice pudding. Appart from this cozy place

The star is purely for ambience which is really nice. The Thali is very basic however my pain point was the choice of paratha with thali, felt frozen however I could be wrong. Would be better if it was homemade. It is pricey and is not worth the food served.

Nice place to have coffee or juice if you are in the area. Popular with tourists - I guess that's why prices are on the high side. I wasn't impressed by their lemon cake which left a bitter taste.

The location is one of those old Emirati palaces/villas that has been restored for public to visit, shop and explore for art, Etc - so kind of quirky & edge from the other non-character hotels in Dubai.

It’s not easy to find or well known - most drivers couldn’t find it, and once you get off in the parking area to get to the cafe is a 3-5 min walk (in very confusing alleys and with no direction boards)

The place nonetheless is very happening and popular (probably with tourists) it was packed most of the day and the food was strictly average (read: tasteless).

Such a vibrant and artistic cute cafe, away from the city’s hustle and bustle.
Good place for your next coffee date.
More of vegetarian dishes, and food is very average and not worth the penny spend.
But, still go for the vibe, i must say

Love the place, decor and ambience of this cafe. Will definitely visit again to try their food.

Love the XVA Cafe very cool and unique place to chill. They also have amazing food must try, Highly recommended

Great dishes! I am not a vegetarian but I left with very pleasant tasting dishes. I will come again

Love the XVA art hotel. Its one of my favourite places in Dubai. Awesome vegetarian food. Beautiful tranquil setting. Best place to get some R&R

Sehr schöner Ort für eine Pause. Leckerer Mezze Teller und sehr leckere Wraps, freundliches Personal.
Must try: Mint Lemonade!

You guys are too friendly with rich people. Hats off!
Unfortunately we were so poor to feel your kindness. Such a beautiful algorithm you have. Such a peaceful place to experience the real face of some fake eco-friendly folks. Scroll away rich kids.

Beautiful open cafe. Great place to just sit and relax around mother nature with definately a cup of coffee and something to read. The chirping of birds makes it all the more beautiful. Very peaceful!

Very cool place to chill and have some food or drink, but if you love meat or chicken don’t expect to find any there. But still I enjoyed my time there. I am sure to come back again!

You have your breakfast in an old Arabic place, very very nice and quiet, the food is good, the atmosphere is relaxing

Beautiful place but the breakfast is a joke! Basic toast and egg for expensive price. Not comparable with any breakfast for this price in Dubai. Very disappointing!

Very nice place to enjoy vegetarian meals. Also some interesting piece of art in the middle of nice area to visit.

We truly loved the setting.well hidden from the main area, like stepping into a secret world.there's a shady tree that filtered the strong noon sun and the birds are all lovely, chirping around.the food not too bad either with the food presentation in an artistic manner, befitting the art studio setting.service not too bad either if not for the 'gossipping' that continuously goes on about the patrons

A picturesque cafe set in the heart of old Dubai, overlooking the heritage district.this place is a favorite for friends and family who are visiting. What’s better, the food and beverage on offer are healthy, organic and vegetarian.definitely worth checking out!

It was ok but nothing very special like I was expecting. The gallery looks like a 5 year old designed it.

Great service with affordable prices. Highly recommended for vegetarians and fresh cocktails. One of hidden gems in Dubai

The place is amazing with so many art related stuff BUT you are not allowed to take pictures there and venue is a little far from the car parking, menu is also not containing chicken and meat related dishes, but the their dishes are delicious and fresh. Overall experience is satisfactory and I enjoyed my lunch there as I love old buildings.

A beautiful hidden gem in Dubai. A must visit. The setting is like a private terrace/garden and the menu is predominantly vegetarian and oh so delicious! Also the mint lemonade is a must-try.

A very cozy cafe in the heart of the Fahidi neighborhood. Very peaceful and pleasant atmosphere and a tasty menu as well.

One of the best places in Dubai if you are looking for vegetarian food. They have a great stuff to choose from. The ambience is amazing, typically quiet during the evening. You can spend good me time here. During the summers it is a bit crowded from 12-5 but quite relaxed from then on. The food is quite tasty and a must try for those who are on the lookout for healthy options. Staff is friendly and the service was quick. It is a bit hard to find though and also a bit expensive but worth every penny.
Oh and they do have an art gallery which you can visit while you wait for your food.
