The Plate Snob take
The Lighthouse is what happens when an all-day café develops taste beyond decorative books. Breakfast is useful, dinner is assured and the design shop ensures you can leave with both a bill and an object you did not plan to buy.
Good food goes further.

The full picture
More than an all-day café
Mediterranean plates, an in-house bakery and a proper bar allow the venue to move convincingly from breakfast through dinner. The menu is broad but remains more edited than the phrase all-day dining usually threatens.
A cultural room
The concept store, design library, terrace and chef's table give the space a creative identity beyond the food. Regular brunch, steak and happy-hour programming keeps it connected to the Yas Bay neighbourhood.
