Among Dubai’s terraces, there are some real dingy basement holes…

What is the point of an outdoor seating area without an open-sky view that makes your heart explode as it fills the horizon?

HI Five sets your soul free…

Check out the progression of feelings and colors, and imagine the fresh breeze, and admiring nature’s greatest artist at work – the atmosphere determines the mood, and when just right, the mood creates magic.

Magic in relationships, magic in connections between friends – after an evening out at HI Five, you’ll be saying,”that evening was magic!”

And then the evening becomes night, but slowly… there’s no rush.

And the location is incredible, even if the sky didn’t put on a show.

And yet, believe it or not, the skyview is not HI Five’s best feature!

As a diner, you would be happy with HI Five even if it were in one of those aforementioned dingy basement halls – see what the good Chef has cooking for you at Sunset Brunch:

Wow! I was not expecting a splendid gourmet rendition of a superlative Carbonara!

Not even in Italy can you easily chance upon such a delectable and finely prepared dish of epic creaminess… really spectacular, really worth a high-five!

I truly was not expecting a fine-dining experience, but there you have it.

And after mixing, just look at the smoothness in that sauce!

Other dishes were also very good.

From snacky bar appetizers,

to a well-battered Fish’n’Chips pub classic…

pizza options…

and leading to a brilliantly prepared Banana Split for dessert, with exquisite caramelization and dressing.

I think I may have chanced upon a great Christmas and New Year’s venue!

Worth a try, definitely!

And a nice interior set-up and decor, as well.

But you’d better act quick and decisively if you want to book a table on the terrace… even if only for after-work drinks and sheesha.

Overall, a fantastic terrace with dishes that can surprise in their deliciousness, HI Five is located just by The Palm Jumeirah in the heart of Dubai’s funky action, with underground parking, and worth discovering at your own pace and leisure, but especially for the sunset.
