Dining Like Dua
While we can’t ever be her, we can at least eat like she does.
By Brady Jonas
I’ll admit it—I’m a massive Dua Lipa fan. If I could, I’d trade my very average, Netflix-bingeing life for her glamorous, globe-trotting existence. But since that’s not happening anytime soon, the least I can do is eat where she eats. Fortunately, Ms. “Levitating” has been spotted dining in some of the finest restaurants across the U.S., and I'm retracing her culinary trail.
Dino's – Nashville, TN
When Dua’s in Music City, she skips the fancy frills for a true Nashville staple: Dino’s. Located in East Nashville, Dino’s is a dive bar at heart, but with a burger that could make angels sing. Dua has been spotted at this no-nonsense spot enjoying classic American comfort food. The vibe is laid-back, and the beer is cold—perfect for anyone looking to live out a low-key night with a celebrity pedigree.
Nobu Malibu – Malibu, CA
No surprise here—Dua Lipa, like seemingly every celebrity, has been spotted at Nobu Malibu. Perched on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, this place has both breathtaking views and ridiculously good sushi. Nobu's minimalist décor lets you focus on its signature dishes like black cod miso and yellowtail jalapeño. Dua’s been seen here relaxing post-Coachella, and who can blame her? I’d inhale sushi on a sun-drenched deck, too, if I just spent three days at a music festival
Poison Girl – Houston, TX
While on tour in Texas, Dua was spotted at Poison Girl, a dive bar in Houston with some real grit. This isn’t your typical glam LA haunt—Poison Girl has cheap drinks, an impressive whiskey collection, and an old-school pinball machine. With dim lighting, funky art, and locals filling the place, it’s the kind of bar where you can imagine Dua sipping on a drink in the corner, low-key and completely out of the spotlight .
Craig’s – Los Angeles, CA
Craig’s is the kind of place you go to see and be seen, which is exactly why Dua has been spotted there multiple times. Nestled in West Hollywood, this American-style comfort food spot is where stars can indulge in truffle fries or Craig’s famous vegan ice cream without worrying about the calories. With its warm, dim lighting and constant paparazzi outside, it's no wonder Dua and other celebs love it. If you ever visit, try to act cool when you see someone famous. It’s harder than it sounds .
Little Sister – New York City
For something a little more intimate, Dua Lipa was seen at Little Sister, a cozy wine bar in NYC. This spot is the perfect contrast to big, flashy restaurants—it’s dim, sultry, and ideal for sipping a glass of Bordeaux with a side of privacy. The underground vibe adds to its appeal, making it a celebrity favorite for low-key nights .
