Best Restaurants in Dubai (2026)
A search-demand-ranked guide to Dubai's 36 best restaurants for 2026, spanning DIFC power tables, high-floor towers, and the Jumeirah and Palm beachfront.
Why we wrote this guide
Dubai's dining scene is dense, fast-moving, and stacked vertically. The best rooms sit inside financial-district towers, on the 50th and 70th floors of hotels, and along the sand at J1 Beach, Palm Jumeirah, and Bluewaters Island. The range runs from three-Michelin-star Italian tasting menus to thirty-seat counters with no reservations, from Japanese-Peruvian classics to Riviera beachfront rooms that serve lunch until sunset. What unites them is ambition: this is a city where a global name opens its tenth outpost and a homegrown kitchen earns a Bib Gourmand on the same afternoon.
We ordered this guide by what guests and the wider market actually seek out, not by our own preference. The sequence tracks real search demand, so Zuma sits at the top because Dubai keeps putting it there. From there the list moves through DIFC's Gate Village, the Palm, Downtown, and the Jumeirah beachfront, with a handful of quieter rooms that reward the detour.
Outside Las Vegas the restaurant reservation sits with the venue, not with us. What we do is point you to the right room, help you time it, and build the rest of the trip around it. Last updated July 2026.
The ranked guide
1. Zuma (DIFC, Gate Village)
Zuma set the template for modern Japanese dining in Dubai and still commands its corner of Gate Village in DIFC. The idea is Japanese informal dining built for sharing: plates leave three open kitchens as they are ready rather than in fixed courses, so the table moves at its own speed rather than yours. The room runs across levels in wood, stone and glass, with the sushi counter and the robata grill both worked in full view. It is warm and textured rather than showy, and it holds a big room without losing the feel of a counter seat. One flight up, the bar and lounge carry the night well past the dining room, with a deep sake list and a serious cocktail program. See Zuma.
Best for: the definitive Dubai izakaya, a dinner that turns into a night.
2. Maison Revka (Bluewaters Island)
Maison Revka takes over a set of rooms in the five-star Delano Dubai on Bluewaters Island, seating around 150 across intimate indoor salons and two sunlit verandas that look over the pool and the Gulf. The Louis XVI-inspired design, velvet seating, floral linens and stained-glass accents carries an aristocratic warmth that moves easily from poolside afternoons into evening. The pool area is anchored by cabanas with direct beach access, framing the day. The kitchen reads Slavic heritage through French technique: potato blinis with Oscietra caviar, a smoked salmon platter, and a raw bar of oysters. It is glamorous without being stiff, and it works as a long lunch or a dressed-up dinner. See Maison Revka.
Best for: caviar and blinis, and a full day that slides from pool to dinner.
3. Clap (DIFC, Gate Village)
Clap is a modern Japanese restaurant, bar and terrace on the upper floors of Gate Village Building 11 in DIFC, billed as the largest rooftop dining room in the district. The terrace wraps the skyline with a clear line to the Burj Khalifa, which makes sunset and the evening hours the ones to book. The concept splits into three connected spaces: the main dining room with its open kitchen, a bar, and Ongaku, a speakeasy tucked away behind the restaurant. The look is dark, textured and moody, tuned for evening rather than daylight, and the terrace and the room trade the view back and forth as the night goes on. The menu is broad modern Japanese, well over a hundred items spanning robata and sushi. See Clap.
Best for: a rooftop dinner with a Burj Khalifa view and a hidden bar to finish.
4. GAIA (DIFC, Gate Village)
GAIA is Chef Izu Ani's love letter to the Greek and wider Mediterranean table, set in Gate Village at DIFC. Since opening in 2018 it has stayed one of the hardest tables in the district, equal parts restaurant and all-day social room, and it is distinct from the group's beach-side Sirene by GAIA further along the coast. The space is bright and quietly luxurious, done in pale stone, warm wood and greenery, with a long central bar and a terrace that fills as the evening cools. It reads more Aegean villa than city dining room, which is exactly the intent, and it carries an easy hum from lunch straight through to a late dinner. The menu runs coastal Greek and Mediterranean: raw fish and crudo, shared plates, grilled catch. See GAIA.
Best for: a hard-to-get Mediterranean table that runs from lunch to late.
5. SushiSamba (Palm Jumeirah)
SushiSamba brings its Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian mash-up to the top of The St Regis Dubai on Palm Jumeirah, on the 51st floor. The concept traces back to the communities of Japanese immigrants who settled in Brazil and Peru, and the kitchen crosses all three cuisines on a single menu. The other half of the draw is the near 360-degree view over the Palm, the Arabian Gulf, Ain Dubai and the Dubai skyline. The room is high-energy and design-forward, with an open kitchen, a sushi counter, and a bar and terrace built for the view and the sunset hour. It runs late, the music comes up as the evening goes on, and the mood tips from dinner toward a party without ever leaving the table. See SushiSamba.
Best for: a high-floor dinner with a view that turns into a party.
6. Sakhalin (J1 Beach, Jumeirah)
Sakhalin occupies a stretch of J1 Beach in Jumeirah, a seafood dining room turned to the Arabian Gulf with the water directly in view. The palette is deliberately calm against the beachfront energy: clean whites and neutral tones, marble counters, and soft-lit banquettes. The terrace is the draw, opening onto the water around a central fountain beneath an illuminated roof installation that glows after dark. A beach club with sunbeds and direct water access extends the day, sliding from afternoon lounging into a more polished evening as the music comes up. Executive Chef Alexey Vershinin runs the kitchen under Michelin-starred consultant Vladimir Mukhin, building the menu on Russian Far East and pan-Asian seafood. See Sakhalin.
Best for: pan-Asian seafood with the Gulf a few steps away.
7. Carbone (Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis The Royal)
Carbone landed in Dubai in October 2025, the tenth global outpost of the Italian-American supper club that Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi and Josh Capon opened in Greenwich Village in 2013. It sits inside Atlantis The Royal on Palm Jumeirah, and the room reads like a postwar New York time capsule: crimson velvet banquettes along walls hung with towering Venetian mirrors, custom chandeliers, and bold abstract prints. Service is part of the show. Captains in tailored Zac Posen tuxedos present each dish with its story attached, pacing the meal into a ritual that stretches across the evening. The layout runs from intimate two-tops to communal tables built for cross-table noise at peak hours. See Carbone.
Best for: an Italian-American supper club with the full theater.
8. Gitano (J1 Beach, Jumeirah)
Gitano holds a prime beachfront plot on J1 in Jumeirah, wrapped in a jungle-meets-beach envelope of hanging vines, wooden pergolas and mosaic tiling that works as well by day as it does after dark. The Jungle Room offers shaded indoor seating under moody lantern lighting, while the open-air terrace and beachfront zone look out over the Arabian Gulf, a sparkling pool, and a tiered cabana setup redeemable toward food and drink. As the sun sets the room turns: disco balls ignite and resident DJs steer the mood, Afro House on Saturdays and 90s remixes during Thursday Ladies Night. The kitchen leans contemporary Mexican with global inflections, built on fresh ingredients. See Gitano.
Best for: beachfront tequila, Mexican plates, and a room that becomes a party.
9. Cipriani (DIFC, Gate Village)
Cipriani Dubai is the DIFC outpost of the family whose Harry's Bar opened in Venice in 1931, the room that gave the world the Bellini and beef carpaccio. It stands in Gate Village Building 10, in the financial district, and carries the Cipriani signatures: nautical blue and white, high-gloss wood, polished steel and the brown leather chairs the group uses from Venice to New York. The kitchen keeps to the classics that made the name. Bellinis of white peach, carpaccio cut thin, baby artichoke salad, tagliolini gratinated with ham, risotto changed with the season, calf's liver Venetian style, and the group's vanilla meringue cake close out a menu that has changed little because it does not need to. See Cipriani.
Best for: Venetian classics and Bellinis, a name that predates the trends.
10. COYA (Jumeirah Beach)
COYA Dubai brought Lima's Peruvian kitchen to the emirate in 2014 and remains one of the city's defining Latin American rooms. It sits in the Restaurant Village at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, a short walk from the sand, with a bar, dining room and terrace that carry the warmth of the Andes and the Pacific coast. The kitchen works across ceviches, tiraditos and anticuchos, with robata and charcoal grills sending out corn-fed chicken, lamb and seafood dressed in aji and rocoto. Guacamole is finished at the table, and the raw bar leans on citrus, chili and Peruvian corn. It is food built for sharing across a long, unhurried table, with pisco running through the bar program. See COYA.
Best for: Peruvian fire and pisco across a long shared table.
11. Nobu (Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis The Palm)
Nobu is Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese-Peruvian restaurant at Atlantis, The Palm on Palm Jumeirah, part of the global family that made the style famous. It was one of the first marquee restaurants to open with the resort, and it remains one of the longest-running fine-dining rooms on the Palm. The room is warm and low-lit in wood and stone, with a sushi bar at its center and a lounge that carries drinks before and after the meal. It sits inside the Atlantis resort rather than out on the beach, so it pulls hotel guests and Dubai regulars in equal measure across a long service. The menu is the Nobu canon, the same dishes that built the name worldwide: black cod miso, yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno. See Nobu.
Best for: the Nobu canon and black cod miso, from the original family.
12. Ce La Vi (Downtown)
Ce La Vi runs 220 meters up on the 54th floor of Address Sky View, trading on a 360-degree view of the Burj Khalifa and the Downtown skyline. Inside is a polished dining room, marble floors, ambient LED accents and plush velvet seating for around 150; outside, the terrace opens onto a luminous infinity pool and fire pits. The kitchen blends contemporary Asian with Mediterranean and Japanese technique. Start with the tuna tartare in yuzu-soy and sesame or the fried calamari with chili aioli, move into beef kushiyaki of wagyu and teriyaki or grilled octopus with romesco and chickpeas, and finish on matcha cheesecake or a chocolate fondant with green-tea ice cream. See Ce La Vi.
Best for: a high-floor terrace, an infinity pool, and modern Asian plates.
13. La Nina (DIFC)
La Nina fills a 150-seat room inside ICD Brookfield Place at DIFC, its walls carrying vivid Iberian murals against sleek wooden accents and soft ambient lighting. The layout flows from intimate tables to a lively bar, contemporary but easy rather than formal. Chef Timothy Newton cooks across Portuguese, Spanish and South American lines, built for sharing. The octopus salad opens with grilled tentacles, chickpeas and smoked paprika; the jamon iberico board layers cured ham with manchego and Spanish bread; and the lobster paella is the signature, bomba rice infused with saffron and crowned with half a lobster plus grilled octopus, at its most indulgent during brunch. It reads as social and unhurried, an easy room for a long lunch rather than a formal sit-down. See La Nina.
Best for: Spanish small plates and lobster paella, with a lively bar.
14. Il Borro Tuscan Bistro (Madinat Jumeirah)
Il Borro Tuscan Bistro sits inside Jumeirah Al Naseem at Madinat Jumeirah, set beside the resort's turtle lagoon on the Umm Suqeim shoreline. It is the Dubai outpost of Il Borro, the Ferragamo family's estate and winery in Tuscany's Valdarno, and it carries that provenance straight onto the plate and into the cellar. The room is unshowy and warm, leaning on natural materials, an open kitchen and terrace seating that catches the breeze off the water, with the Burj Al Arab framed in the distance. It reads as a proper Tuscan bistro rather than a hotel dining room, which is the whole point of the place. The menu is Tuscan and seasonal: house-made pastas, wood-grilled meats, hand-cut cured plates. See Il Borro Tuscan Bistro.
Best for: estate-driven Tuscan cooking with a serious cellar.
15. La Petite Maison (DIFC, Gate Village)
La Petite Maison, known as LPM, brings the cooking of Nice and the French Riviera to DIFC. It sits in Gate Village Building 8 and follows the template set by the original in Nice: no logo at the door, no starched formality, just a bright room, white tablecloths, fresh flowers and a menu meant to be shared. The food is Mediterranean and southern French, built for the middle of the table. Warm bread and rich tomatoes open most meals, followed by burrata with datterini, escargots, marinated peppers, prawns in olive oil, and whole sea bass or roasted chicken with foie gras for the table. Everything arrives family-style rather than in courses, meant to be picked at and passed around, with rose from Provence alongside. See La Petite Maison.
Best for: Riviera cooking for the middle of the table.
16. Bagatelle (Sheikh Zayed Road)
Bagatelle brings its French Riviera template to the Fairmont Dubai on Sheikh Zayed Road, a room of about 150 seats where white marble tables, navy velvet chairs and brass accents sit under soft chandeliers, with bold artwork cutting the polish. The outdoor terrace faces the towers and turns into the sunset-cocktail perch. The French-Mediterranean menu runs truffle-forward, from truffle gnocchi to truffle chicken and Dover sole meuniere, with a Bagatelle Spritz on the bar side. See Bagatelle.
Best for: truffle-forward French-Med and a glamorous brunch.
17. Amazonico (DIFC)
Amazonico Dubai is the Gulf edition of Sandro Silva's Latin American restaurant, first opened in Madrid and reworked here as a jungle-lit room in the DIFC Pavilion in the Gate District. It is a dense, green, theatrical space that runs from lunch through to the early hours. The menu roams the Amazon basin: open-fire grills, ceviches and tiraditos, sushi and robata, all built to share. The cocktail list is long, built around Latin spirits and tropical fruit, and runs deep into the night. See Amazonico.
Best for: fire-cooked Latin plates and a late jungle lounge.
18. Roberto's (DIFC, Gate Village)
Roberto's Dubai has anchored the Italian dining scene in DIFC since 2012 and reopened at the start of 2025 after a full redesign. It sits in Gate Village Building 1, now running as a restaurant, cocktail bar and terrace under a refreshed look and a new culinary direction. The kitchen stays modern Italian: house-made pastas, wood-fired and grilled mains, crudo and antipasti to start, and a raw bar that leans on the day's seafood, with truffle and seasonal produce moving through the menu. See Roberto's.
Best for: modern Italian and a skyline terrace, freshly redesigned.
19. CouCou (Palm Jumeirah)
CouCou occupies the 52nd floor of Palm Tower, at The View at The Palm, wrapping 360-degree sightlines around Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai skyline. The room seats about 150 across velvet lounges and marble-accented interiors that read intimate and expansive at once, opening onto a wraparound terrace of cushioned nooks and fire pits. The kitchen cooks Mediterranean: tuna tartare with avocado and yuzu-soy, grilled octopus with romesco and preserved lemon, herb-crusted lamb chops, and truffle tagliatelle in a creamy black truffle sauce. See CouCou.
Best for: a high-floor Mediterranean dinner with a wraparound view.
20. Nusr-Et (Jumeirah Beach)
Nusr-Et is the Dubai flagship of Nusret Gokce, the Turkish butcher the internet knows as Salt Bae. It occupies a corner of Restaurant Village at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, a short walk from the sand, and the dining room reopened in late 2025 after a full renovation. Steak is the whole point here, and the salt sprinkle is the show: cuts come dry-aged and Wagyu-rich, carved and seasoned table-side with the flourish that made the place famous. It is loud, theatrical, and unapologetically a scene. See Nusr-Et.
Best for: showman steak and a table that came for the spectacle.
21. African Queen (J1 Beach, Jumeirah)
African Queen sits on prime beachfront at J1 Beach in Jumeirah 1, a Provencal seafood room that nods to the 1969 French Riviera original behind its name. Terracotta floors, rattan furnishings and flowing white linens set a relaxed, colonial-tinged mood under a canopy of palm trees. The space splits between air-conditioned indoor seating that looks over the pool and sea and an open terrace with direct beach access and loungers facing the Arabian Gulf. The kitchen leans Provencal, anchored by seafood and grilled proteins, with the Dover sole filleted tableside. See African Queen.
Best for: beachfront Provencal seafood, for a couple or a group.
22. Amelia (Downtown)
Amelia occupies the 76th floor of Address Sky View in Downtown Dubai, high enough that the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain fill the windows without obstruction. The kitchen cooks Nikkei, the Japanese-Peruvian style threaded here with Mediterranean accents, in shareable plates meant for grazing across a long evening. The interior runs retro-futuristic across two moods: a steampunk mezzanine of brass gears and porthole windows, and a lounge below of riveted leather and Edison bulbs. The outdoor terrace is where the view pays off. See Amelia.
Best for: Nikkei plates and Burj Khalifa sightlines all night.
23. Akira Back (Palm Jumeirah)
Akira Back sits on the fifth floor of W Dubai The Palm, on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, with floor-to-ceiling glass and a wraparound terrace over the Palm and the Dubai Marina skyline. The restaurant comes from Akira Back, the snowboarder-turned-chef whose modern Japanese cooking carries clear Korean and international accents. The food is built for sharing: the signature tuna pizza with umami aioli and white truffle oil, the AB taco, robata skewers, sushi and maki, and larger plates off the grill. See Akira Back.
Best for: the tuna pizza and modern Japanese with Palm views.
24. Josette (DIFC)
Josette is a Parisian fine-dining room at ICD Brookfield Place in DIFC, Dubai's financial and gallery district. It reads as a grand French brasserie reimagined for Dubai: high ceilings, theatrical detailing, and a dining room designed to feel like an evening out rather than only a meal. The restaurant appears in the MICHELIN Guide. The kitchen works reimagined brasserie classics with a seasonal, produce-led hand, moving from breakfast and lunch through a Sante happy hour into a proper dinner, with a long weekend brunch and afternoon tea by request. See Josette.
Best for: a theatrical Parisian brasserie in the MICHELIN Guide.
25. Scalini (Jumeirah Beach)
Scalini brings its London pedigree to the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, in the resort's Restaurant Village just off the water. The original opened in Chelsea in 1988 and helped set the template for the Italian trattoria in Britain; the Dubai room carries that lineage with Art Deco lines and a warm 1960s trattoria feel. The kitchen keeps to traditional Italian done properly: handmade pasta, whole fish and veal, a long run of antipasti, and table-side attention built for lingering over a second bottle. See Scalini.
Best for: a classic trattoria dinner built for lingering.
26. Twiggy by La Cantine (Dubai Creek)
Twiggy by La Cantine is the RIKAS Group's Riviera fantasy, set along Dubai Creek at Park Hyatt Dubai in Port Saeed. It pairs a bright, breezy restaurant under white parasols with a 100-meter infinity lagoon fringed in white sand and lined with sunbeds and cabanas. The kitchen reads Mediterranean with French savoir-faire: fresh sushi and carpaccios, signature salads, grilled fish, and sharing plates that stretch across a long lunch into sunset. By day it works as an adults-leaning lagoon club, calm and clean. See Twiggy by La Cantine.
Best for: a lagoon-side lunch that drifts into sunset.
27. Fi'Lia (Business Bay)
Fi'Lia occupies the 70th floor of SLS Dubai Hotel and Residences in Business Bay, where Chef Celia Stoecklin and an all-women kitchen team run a three-act menu: nonna's classics, mamma's twists, and figlia's innovations, built on handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza and seasonal produce. The Michelin Bib Gourmand room seats around 150 in soft white and sage, anchored by potted olive trees, opening onto a terrace with clear views of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Canal. Signatures run from the Nonna Burrata to spaghetti carbonara. See Fi'Lia.
Best for: Bib Gourmand Italian, 70 floors up.
28. At.mosphere (Downtown, Burj Khalifa)
At.mosphere occupies Level 122 of the Burj Khalifa, about 442 metres above Downtown Dubai and long ranked among the highest restaurants in the world. It is reached through a dedicated entrance at the tower's base, separate from the At the Top observation queues, and splits into a formal fine-dining Restaurant and a looser Lounge for afternoon tea, sunset drinks and late plates. The dining room was rebuilt in 2023 around floor-to-ceiling glass, warm metals and low, deliberate lighting that keeps the attention on the horizon rather than the table. See At.mosphere.
Best for: dinner at 442 metres, the view as the main course.
29. 3Fils (Jumeirah Fishing Harbour)
3Fils is a small modern-Asian restaurant on the edge of the Jumeirah Fishing Harbour, looking out over moored boats rather than any skyline. It trades on the opposite of grand: around thirty seats, a tight open kitchen, and a room closer to a friend's counter than a marquee room. On those terms it has become one of the city's most quietly serious kitchens. The cooking is Asian small plates leaning toward Japan, clean and precise, which is how it earned its Michelin Bib Gourmand. No reservations. See 3Fils.
Best for: a thirty-seat Bib Gourmand counter, no reservations.
30. Alici (Bluewaters Island)
Alici sits on Bluewaters Island, the low-rise promenade beside Dubai Marina and the JBR skyline, and takes its name from the Italian for anchovies. The kitchen draws on the Amalfi Coast and southern Italy, built on seafood treated simply and bought fresh. The room spreads over two floors, each opening onto broad terraces with the marina and the Gulf in front; the upstairs terrace at sunset is the seat to request. Raw plates and crudo open most meals, but homemade pasta is the real draw. See Alici.
Best for: southern-Italian seafood and an upstairs sunset terrace.
31. Mimi Kakushi (Jumeirah Beach)
Mimi Kakushi runs in the Restaurant Village at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach, a Japanese restaurant and bar built around the mood of 1920s Osaka. Design does a lot of the work: dark woods, deep emerald green, hand-painted murals and vintage lampshades set a low, cinematic light, with a sake counter anchoring the center of the room and live music on the busier nights. It is dressed-up and deliberately dim, committing fully to its old-meets-new spirit from the styling to the soundtrack. See Mimi Kakushi.
Best for: 1920s-Osaka mood, jazz, sake and robata.
32. Lucky Fish (Palm West Beach, Palm Jumeirah)
Lucky Fish stretches along Palm West Beach at Palm Jumeirah, an indoor room for about 150 dressed in rattan loungers, terracotta accents and linen drapes that read like the Provence coast, spilling onto a sun-dappled terrace with private beach access. Out on the sand, cabana tiers climb by group and day, with the spend redeemable against food and drink and the sightlines running clear across the Gulf to the Atlantis silhouette. The kitchen works sustainable Mediterranean seafood, from whole grilled sea bass to lobster linguine in saffron cream. See Lucky Fish.
Best for: easy Mediterranean seafood and a sunset aperitif on the sand.
33. Gallery 7/40 (Palm West Beach, Palm Jumeirah)
Gallery 7/40 anchors the northwestern edge of The Club Palm West Beach on Palm Jumeirah, with unobstructed Arabian Gulf views from a sprawling outdoor terrace and indoor lounge. The design channels Antoni Gaudi's whimsical hand: curving arches, hand-laid mosaics, and art-covered walls that carry the room from a calm daytime retreat to an energized evening. The open-plan layout flows from climate-controlled seating to al fresco dining with direct beach access, and weekend evenings bring subtle DJ programming with live music on select nights. The kitchen leans Greek. See Gallery 7/40.
Best for: art-filled beachfront dining with a curator's eye.
34. Kaspia (DIFC, Gate Village)
Kaspia carries the name of a Paris caviar house founded in 1927, and its Dubai dining room translates that heritage into an intimate 150-seat space inside Gate Village at DIFC. Art deco accents, velvet banquettes, mirrored walls and soft golden lighting give it the feel of a Parisian salon with a note of understated Russian opulence, plus a terrace over the skyline. The kitchen leans on house classics: Kaspia's Potato twice-baked with creme fraiche and caviar, Dover sole filleted tableside, and Lobster Thermidor in a rich Mornay. See Kaspia.
Best for: caviar and art deco intimacy, Parisian-salon polish.
35. Sirene Beach by GAIA (J1 Beach, Jumeirah)
Sirene Beach is the shoreline outpost from Chef Izu Ani's GAIA, spread across J1 Beach in Jumeirah with 400 seats, 300 sunbeds and tiered pools that spill straight onto the sand. Whitewashed arches, fuchsia bougainvillea and stone bars give it an unmistakably Aegean look that carries from lunch through sunset. Ani's kitchen leans on seafood and Mediterranean simplicity: seabream carpaccio, grilled octopus with chickpeas and preserved lemon, and a whole grilled sea bream filleted tableside, alongside lamb souvlaki skewers and a rooster pasta of slow-cooked chicken and feta. See Sirene Beach by GAIA.
Best for: GAIA's Aegean cooking with sand, pools and 400 seats.
36. Il Ristorante (Jumeirah Bay Island)
Il Ristorante sits inside the Bulgari Resort Dubai on Jumeirah Bay Island, about 80 seats of understated Milanese glamour: a polished Portoro marble bar, black-and-white portraits of cinema figures, and a black ceiling like a starry night sky. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Gulf and the Burj Al Arab silhouette. Chef Niko Romito, who holds three Michelin stars, sets the kitchen's philosophy of simplicity and precision, with Executive Chef Giacomo Amicucci on the plate and five- or seven-course Degustazione tastings drawn from Abruzzo traditions. See Il Ristorante.
Best for: three-Michelin-star philosophy in a Bulgari dining room.
