Dubai's famed Opera House, which just celebrated 6 months since its opening this week, will host a new rooftop restaurant, media reports revealed this week.  

The fresh new eatery is set to open in the next three months, and will include both indoor and outdoor seating. The name hasn't been set yet, but according to the National, chief executive Jasper Hope confirms the cuisine will be as versatile as the Opera's diverse audience. 

This isn't the first restaurant to be set on a rooftop...

Dubai's skyline is a sight to behold, and is now being compared to the likes of New York and Sydney. 

This has encouraged many Dubai-based entrepreneurs and restaurant-owners to invest in such places, because to enjoy a meal with that view, you often have to go to certain heights (both physically and metaphorically). 

As a result, the bustling emirate city now boasts many bars and clubs on rooftops. But what if you just want to enjoy a nice dinner? 

There are a few rooftops to go to that aren't too expensive or loud, and include dining in. 

1. Get groovy with INKA

INKA is a restaurant/lounge that promises good tunes and vibes, as well as Peruvian food. 

It's found on the 31st floor of the Sofitel, Dubai Downtown and can be contacted on +97143469295

2. Write your story at Story Rooftop Lounge

While Story Rooftop Lounge is technically a bar, it does include a seafood filled menu for the person that doesn't love alcohol as much as they love food. It also includes Friday Brunches!

And you get that view of Burj Al Arab and the sun setting across the sea... 

The Story Rooftop Lounge is located on the 5th Floor of Holiday Inn Express in Dubai Internet City and can be contacted on +97143659911

3. 40 Kong

40 Kong is also a bar, as well as a restaurant, and has has that very snazzy "we serve mashed potatoes with truffle oil" vibe, and a bunch of other organic and hipster-ish cuisines.

But, I mean, if you're sipping on a drink in a mason jar, isn't that what you're looking for anyway?

40 Kong is located on the 40th Floor of The H Dubai on Sheikh Zayed Road and can be contacted on +97143558896

4. Tamanya Terrance

Tamanya Terrace is described as a hidden gem for tired journalists - being set in Media City, it probably is the place where they can eat and drink their worries away without breaking their bank accounts. 

It also includes hummus and mixed grills, so what else could a person possibly need?

Located on the RadissonBlu hotel in Media City and can be contacted on +97143669111
