The picture-perfect venue is second to none with stunning watercolour paintings framed by artificial blooms hanging on the walls and luminous lighting.
Glossy and gorgeous, EL&N makes you feel as if you have stepped into a girlie oasis as a candy-striped island greets you below a fringed chandelier as you walk in.

Hailing from Kuwait and popular in Saudi, Lazy Cat is famous for its fluffy Japanese pancakes and eye-catching blue matcha (that's an Insta story for sure).

Super-cool coffee shop NETTE is tucked away inside Matcha Club, making it ideal for a post-padel breakfast or catch-up coffee.
Dig into overnight oats, egg sando or a Japanese breakfast skillet in the morning and later in the day, turn your attention to a miso croquet madam or yuzu ponzu crispy salmon. A hip place that's perfect for a chilled-out coffee and one of the best cafés in Dubai.
Need to pose? Strike your best just outside in front of the leafy green and orange court (it's a sick backdrop).
Open daily 8am-10pm. Match Club, Al Quoz, @nettedxb (04 548 8369).
Saya Brasserie Café
Diners are immersed into a pink aesthetic as soon as they walk through the door at Saya Brasserie.
Rows of faux flowers line the walls and drape from the ceiling, potted plants transformed from green to pink (with the help of lots of spray paint) are dotted around and velvet chairs upholstered in pink velvet fill the trendy café.
Without a doubt the interior designers who put together the place are fans of the rosy tone, as well as glittering gold – which is the secondary colour that features throughout.
Be sure to grab a snap as you perch on a plush couch alongside flamingo statues below a flower arch before or after you enjoy one slurp on a saffron Spanish latte or milk oolong tea.

Vibe Café
Filling your feed with food content is easy if visiting Vibe Café.
Photograph the slim thicc pizza that has a ruby coloured base thanks to its beetroot and cauliflower base. Not only does it look special but it is a super healthy alternative to regular dough pizza.
Or maybe you will decided to dig into the eggs benedict served on pink fluffy muffins and drizzled with millennial pink sauce.
The décor is just as pretty as the food with bubble gum coloured pineapple ornaments standing on each table, while palm trees and foliage line the windows as neon signs light-up the space.

Film adaptation of cult indie game ‘The Exit 8' due for release in late August
Gamers and horror movie buffs alike are gearing up for the release of one of this summer's most interesting-looking Japanese flicks: Exit 8, the film adaptation of the cult indie game The Exit 8. The original game, released in May 2023, quickly developed a huge following. Transcending language barriers with its use of psychological tension and the liminal space aesthetic, it's since received millions of downloads globally as well as numerous awards, and spawned a genre of 'Exit 8-likes'. For the uninitiated, here's a quick intro. In The Exit 8, players must navigate their way through a seemingly endless Tokyo subway corridor, spotting 'anomalies' along the way. As the rules of the game state, 'Do not overlook anything out of the ordinary. If you see an anomaly, turn back immediately. If you don't, continue forward. Only leave through Exit 8.' Armed with a simple premise and minimalist gameplay, the game has enthralled a legion of fans for its ability to incite paranoia, claustrophobia and introspection. Its creator, the enigmatic Kotake Create, has since gone on to become a freelance developer and produce a popular sequel entitled Platform 8. Typically straying from public attention, Kotake Create has remained fairly stoic about his success, but has admitted that he's happy his idea has pioneered a genre. The film adaptation has already garnered rave reviews from critics. Screened to a sold-out crowd of 2,300 during the Cannes Festival's coveted Midnight Screening programme in May, it received a – perhaps not coincidental – eight-minute standing ovation. Genki Kawamura oversaw the writing, production and direction of the film, which was shot primarily on set in Tokyo. Perhaps best known for his novel If Cats Disappeared from the World, Kawamura has also produced a number of films, including Monster (2023) and animated features like Your Name (2016), Weathering With You (2019) and Suzume (2022). Exit 8 's protagonist, Lost Man, is played by Kazunari Ninomiya, at 42 still going strong as a member of the boy band Arashi while continuing an acting career that includes films such as Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), Gantz (2010) and Assassination Classroom (2015). Nana Komatsu (The World of Kanako (2014), Destruction Babies (2016), Silence (2016) and Drowning Love (2016)) will costar, while the breakout fan favourite from the videogame, Walking Man, will be played by Yamato Kochi, known mainly for minor roles in Japanese television series such as Kyo Kara Hittoman, Vivant and Antiohero. Despite its relatively minimalist source material, the film has in early reviews been praised for its creativity and complexity, with some critics already calling it 'possibly the best video game adaptation ever made' (Josh Korngut, Dread Central). The film's poster also won the Prix Luciole Award for best poster design at Cannes. Exit 8 is due for release in Japan on August 29, with an international release set to follow in September. Toho Cinemas will be hosting a special pre-release IMAX screening in Hibiya on August 8, complete with a live post-screening greeting from Kazunari Ninomiya. In addition, advance screenings featuring a live broadcast of Ninomiya's greeting will take place simultaneously in eight other cinemas across the country. You can check out the latest teaser below and follow the film's official website and Instagram for updates. More from Time Out Tokyo

Death Comes to Pemberley review — bloody deeds and country dances
In this murder mystery the stately characters are familiar with the intricacies of country dance steps, and one is even willing to try his hand at an Italian aria. There's no shortage of period atmosphere in Duncan Abel and Rachel Wagstaff's adaptation of PD James's journey into the realm of Pride and Prejudice, even if the plot tends to meander towards a genteel conclusion. Abel and Wagstaff, who are best known for their stage versions of The Girl on the Train and The Da Vinci Code, have here collaborated on a more low-key venture, directed by Jonathan O'Boyle, which is the first touring production mounted by that resourceful Berkshire dinner theatre venue, the Mill at Sonning. It made a reasonably snug fit at Windsor Theatre Royal, thanks in part to Sean Cavanagh's discreet set design, which uses sliding panels to ease the transition from the staid domestic interiors to the Pemberley estate where a bloody deed on a suitably dark and stormy night prompts the arrival of Todd Boyce's quizzical magistrate Sir Selwyn Hardcastle. Suspicion immediately falls on that handsome ne'er-do-well George Wickham. Jane Austen admirers will no doubt be hoping to hear from a firm and manly Darcy, and James Bye (who recently bowed out of EastEnders as Martin Fowler) duly obliges, although the script doesn't allow much in the way of conversational duelling with his demure wife, Elizabeth, played by Jamie-Rose Duke. Sam Woodhams makes an exceptionally chiselled, bare-chested Wickham and doubles as the ailing young local Will Bidwell. • Read more theatre reviews, guides and interviews It's never going to be easy to replace the authorial voice of Austen or James; the pace often sags as the leisurely investigation unfolds. Sarah Berger, though, supplies a pinch of wry humour as the perpetually indignant Lady Catherine de Bourgh, a doughty matron who is determined to put everyone in their place. David Osmond's piano score adds a welcome touch of elegance too. Osmond had also been due to play the character of the gently pining Henry Alveston, but his place was taken at the last moment by Joe Bence, who more than rose to the challenge. He deserved all that applause.★★★☆☆ 140 minutes Touring to Sep 13, Follow @timesculture to read the latest reviews
