THE QUICK ANSWER

For a visitors booking, start with Brezza for rooftop Muscat Bay setting, Mezzeria & Shua Shack for beachfront tables beside the saltwater pool, Sense on the Edge for a terrace 293 metres above Zighy Bay and Spice Market for traditional mud kitchen. Every restaurant shown here has enough editorial research to earn its place; the wider directory is kept separate.

The Oman tables we would confidently book for someone with limited time and very high expectations.
