African Queen Dubai: Hours, Prices and Contact
African Queen is a French Riviera-style restaurant at J1 Beach in Jumeirah 1, Dubai, open Sunday to Wednesday 09:00–24:00 and Thursday to Saturday 09:00–01:00, with breakfast from 09:00 to 11:30. Reservations: +971 52 778 0760 or info@africanqueendubai.com.
On the restaurant's own à la carte menu, salads run AED 90–145, wood-fired pizzas AED 95–195, pasta AED 105–235 and meat AED 155–340, up to AED 850 for the Wagyu double ribeye; breakfast dishes are AED 45–85. Prices include 10% service and 5% VAT and are subject to a 7% authority fee. The pool and beach line is 04 570 5546.
The venue publishes set-price offers rather than a full priced à la carte menu on its own site: the French Riviera Lunch is AED 250 per person and the Call of the Jungle brunch is priced from AED 450 per person. Its own food menu is a PDF without visible prices, but African Queen prices its dishes on its Deliveroo storefront, and those figures are set out in the menu below — delivery prices can run above the dining-room price, and platform fees sit on top.

African Queen menu and prices
Prices are taken from African Queen's own menu PDFs linked from africanqueen-restaurant.com/dubai — breakfast, à la carte, desserts and kids — read on 7 October 2026. The menus state that prices are in UAE dirhams, include a 10% service charge and 5% VAT, and are subject to a 7% authority fee. The Royal Seabass (to share) is listed without a price. An earlier version of this page used Deliveroo prices because the PDFs carried none; they now do.

How to get to African Queen
| Nearest metro | There is no metro station within walking distance of J1 Beach; the nearest Red Line stations are several kilometres away in Business Bay or along Sheikh Zayed Road, so a taxi or car is the practical option. |
|---|---|
| Parking | Neither African Queen's own site nor J1 Beach publishes a public car park, a parking rate or a free-parking allowance. J1 Beach describes itself as having "valet access and dedicated jetty", so valet is the arrival method the operator actually names; arrive by boat is also offered on the J1 Beach site. |
| Taxi & ride-hailing | Set the drop-off to J1 Beach, 2 A Street, Jumeirah 1. |

Where is African Queen Dubai located?
At J1 Beach in Jumeirah 1, Dubai. There is no metro station within walking distance, so a taxi or car is the practical way to get there.
Does African Queen have a lunch set menu?
Yes. The J1 Beach dining page for African Queen prices the French Riviera Lunch at AED 250 per person. It is listed as a flat per-person price, not a "from" price.
How much does a meal at African Queen Dubai cost?
On the restaurant's own à la carte menu, salads are AED 90–145, wood-fired pizzas AED 95–195, pasta AED 105–235 and meat AED 155–340, with a Wagyu double ribeye at AED 850. Breakfast dishes are AED 45–85 and the kids' menu is AED 80 a dish. Prices include 10% service and 5% VAT, plus a 7% authority fee.
What are African Queen's working hours?
They differ by day. African Queen does not keep one set of hours across the week, so there is no single opening or closing time to give. The day-by-day breakdown in the table above is the operator’s own, and it is the only version we publish. Hours can shift during Ramadan and on public holidays.
Is African Queen open today?
African Queen publishes hours for every day of the week, so unless it is a public holiday or an unannounced closure, yes. The hours that apply today are the ones in the table above, confirmed on the verification date at the foot of this page — and we do not publish a claim about today that the operator has not published.
Where can I read reviews of African Queen?
Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.
When were these African Queen details last checked?
Every opening time, price and contact detail on this page was checked against African Queen’s own published sources on 7 October 2026. The sources used are listed at the foot of the page, and where the venue publishes nothing we say so rather than filling the gap. If something here is out of date, tell us — we re-check it against the venue’s own source and record the change in our corrections log.
