if you’re familiar with dubai marina, you may very well be familiar with the counter culture cafe – the rather inconspicuous restaurant which has been around for years, located on the lobby level of the dubai marriott harbour hotel & suites. one might think the name is something of a misnomer, as there’s nothing particularly subversive about this place. the interiors are decked out in a cheerful orange and white, with an inoffensive all-day-dining restaurant feel.
