The Best Restaurants in Dubai

The luxury dining scene changes pretty quickly in most cities, however not many as quickly as the ever evolving emirate of Dubai. Dubai’s restaurants are of an extremely high standard, both culinary and aesthetics wise, many boasting incredible sea or city views. Here we have put together a collection of our favourite haunts by cuisine to make your planning just that little bit easier.

Dining in the Middle East is typically a late affair, don’t expect lunch spots to start to fill up until 2pm and dinner restaurants won’t see many customers coming through their doors until 9:30pm.

Roka may be the new kid on the block in Dubai, however it has a high reputation in London where it has four outlets in high end locations. The fact that is the little sister restaurant to Zuma should assure even the toughest of critics that food is superb. This sleek restaurant calls the contemporary Opus building home, which was designed by legendary British Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. We are slightly obsessed with their black and king crab dumplings and beef and ginger dumplings!
