Trèsind Studio - Dubai
The world’s first Indian three-starred restaurant serves dinner in a well-thought-out presentation. Several amazing dishes, but also a few that could have used more intense flavors
FZN by Björn Frantzén - Dubai
The sister restaurant to Frantzen and Zen delivers the same Scandinavian-inspired, Japanese-influenced cuisine, but maybe with slightly toned down flavor intensity. The service is truly world-class
Moonrise - Dubai
A chef’s personal take on growing up and living in Dubai, viewed through a fine-dining lens. Great fun with tasty dishes in an intimate setting
Orfali Bros - Dubai
Middle Eastern bistro fare, incorporating other foreign cuisines. Enjoyable, with good service, but missing true standout dishes
Manao - Dubai
A tour de force of creative Thai-inspired dishes that are bursting with flavors. Not authentic by any means, but imbued with a contagious exuberance, it made for an extremely fun and tasty meal
