Best Restaurants in Dubai
1. The Green’s Grill
The Green’s Grill is located in the famous QE2 Hotel, which offers elegant beauty and royalty. The decor, name, and menu at this restaurant are reminiscent of a time when the restaurant was frequented by members of the British Royal Family, including Queen Elizabeth II. The restaurant offers two menus, a six-course menu featuring the best of British cuisine and a six-course vegetarian menu. Queen’s Grill is the kind of restaurant you save for a special occasion and great service, top-quality dishes and rich history make you worth the savings for something special.
2. Nathan Outlaw
Nathan Outlaw takes his luxurious approach to seafood making this city one of the best in Dubai. The restaurant isn’t underwater, it’s not the ‘submarine’ that really takes you there. However, it was a special and unique experience dining in the vast aquarium that set the stage for Nathan Outlaw Al Mahara. Michelin-starred British chefs’ dishes emphasize the power of simplicity while the taste of the finest ingredients speaks for themselves. Guests can enjoy signature cocktails at one of the outdoor tables overlooking the water.
3. La Carnita
Starting out as a simple food stall in Toronto, selling art and giving away free toast, La Carnita has now evolved into a chain of eight restaurants, with the first Middle Eastern location at Intercontinental Dubai Marina. This idyllic Mexican eatery serves traditional Mexican dishes including tacos, nachos, queso fundito, quesadillas with a selection of Latin flares like sea bass ceviche, sugar corn, and roast lamb. In the early mornings, please wait for the hip-hop and R&B tunes to burst and the bar bustles with everyone.
4. Eauzone
The atmosphere at Eauzone is very casual during the day, reflecting the slow pace of One & Only Royal Mirage and the lazy seas on the other side. However, after sunset, this place turns into a luxurious and beautiful restaurant. The design is beautifully arranged around the swimming pool, making it feel like it is floating on the translucent water surface. A winding pool path leads into the restaurant, which features a stylish bar and a charming poolside striped terrace.
5. STK Dubai Downtown
With an energetic atmosphere, beautiful décor, and trendy New York angles, STK Dubai combines all the activities of a modern steakhouse with a luxurious banquet hall. Brand New York steakhouse serving delicious American cuisine in the heart of Dubai City Center. If you’re looking for a vibrant restaurant, this is definitely the place to eat. Great music and friendly and energetic staff. The party atmosphere feels like eating in a bustling party, so if you want an excuse to dress up and dance to dinner, head to STK Downtown.
6. Al Hadheerah
Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa’s signature restaurant is a 60-minute drive from Dubai Airport. The resort is nestled among sand dunes, offering an image of an isolated oasis perfect for a fine dining experience under the stars. Fourteen live cooking zones offer authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, while live entertainment can be enjoyed. The Emirate Heritage Museum is also nearby for more culture.
7. Masti Dubai
The food at Masti is delicious and the interior is nice. Start with fiery cauliflower koliwada and celestial eggplant bhata to share at the same table. Then enjoy pizza BC, stracciatella, and dill chicken, or BBQ Angus beef ribs with tamarind sauce. With over 70 gins and unique cocktail options, you really can’t go wrong with whatever you call at this La Mer hotspot. Set up a table on the balcony for a great view of the Dubai skyline.
8. Bu Qtair Restaurant
Bu Qtair, with paper plates and plastic chairs, may not look very much at first – but the long lines always make you think differently. Serving the same menu since 1986, this Jumeriah fish shack has consistently become the best seafood dish in Dubai. The meal is simple, featuring just whole fish and shrimp – locally sourced from Dubai’s fish market – with rice and curry or paratha bread available on both sides.
