Best Michelin Guide Restaurants in Dubai (2026): The 12 We Recommend
Our concierge shortlist of eight Dubai restaurants in the Michelin Guide for 2026, spanning two Michelin stars to Bib Gourmand finds and tower-top fine dining.
Dubai's Michelin story is still young, and for 2026 it already spans two-star fine dining, tower-top rooms, and counter kitchens. These are twelve Dubai restaurants in the MICHELIN Guide, chosen for the cooking and the sense of occasion as much as the view. Every pick below links to its full page, where you can tap through to reserve your own table on the venue's platform. We note each restaurant's real Michelin distinction and leave the rest to the kitchen.
Il Borro Tuscan Bistro
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 and an open kitchen. It is listed in the Michelin Guide as a recommended table, without a star.
Jamavar Dubai
Jamavar Dubai is the Gulf outpost of the Michelin-starred modern Indian restaurant that began at The Leela Palace in Bengaluru and made its name in London's Mayfair. Brought to the city by the Nair family and LSL Capital, the Downtown Dubai dining room holds a Michelin star. It sits inside The Address Residences Opera District.
Josette
Josette is a Parisian fine-dining room at ICD Brookfield Place in DIFC, Dubai's financial and gallery district. It is a grand French brasserie reimagined for the city: 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 and works reimagined French brasserie classics.
At.mosphere
At.mosphere occupies Level 122 of the Burj Khalifa, about 442 meters 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 two rooms: a formal fine-dining Restaurant and a looser Lounge for afternoon tea, sunset drinks, and late plates. It is listed in the Michelin Guide, without a star, and it is our pick when the height is meant to be part of the evening.
Fi'Lia
Fi'Lia occupies the 70th floor of SLS Dubai Hotel & 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 ingredients. It held the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2022 and 2023 and is now listed as a Michelin Guide Selected Restaurant.
3Fils
3Fils is a small modern-Asian restaurant on the edge of the Jumeirah Fishing Harbour, looking out over moored boats on the water rather than any skyline. It trades on the opposite of grand: a tight open kitchen and a room that feels closer to a friend's counter than a marquee dining room. On exactly those terms it has become one of the most quietly serious kitchens in the city and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and it famously takes no reservations.
L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon Dubai
L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon Dubai is the Dubai home of the counter-dining concept created by Joel Robuchon, the most decorated chef in Michelin history. Set on the podium level of DIFC's Gate Village 11, it is a temple to refined French cooking and one of the city's most serious gastronomic addresses, recognized in the Michelin Guide. The signature Atelier format puts the kitchen on show, with guests perched at the counter.
Il Ristorante
Il Ristorante sits inside the Bulgari Resort Dubai on Jumeirah Bay Island, the dining room built on Chef Niko Romito's philosophy of purity, synthesis and lightness. Il Ristorante holds two Michelin stars, and Romito's own restaurant in Italy, Reale, holds three. The design draws on the original Bulgari Hotel in Milan, with floor-to-ceiling windows toward the water and an understated, quiet finish throughout the room.

The MICHELIN Guide in our other cities
The Guide publishes a selection in 12 more of the cities we cover. Each of these lists is built the same way, checked against the Guide's own entries rather than against reputation, and says plainly which tier a room actually holds.
Bangkok - Chicago - Las Vegas - London - Los Angeles - Los Cabos - Mexico City - Miami - New York - Saigon - San Diego - Vancouver
Hakkasan
Hakkasan holds ONE MICHELIN STAR in the 2026 Dubai selection. It sits inside Atlantis, The Palm, with Executive Chef Andy Toh leading a modern Cantonese kitchen and bar. Atlantis paused the room in April 2026 and has not announced a reopening date, so the 2026 star currently sits on a kitchen that is not serving.
Tasca by Jose Avillez
Tasca by Jose Avillez holds ONE MICHELIN STAR in the 2026 Dubai selection. It is chef Jose Avillez's first restaurant outside Portugal, on the sixth floor of Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, translating Portuguese coastal cooking for a Gulf audience.
Akira Back
Akira Back carries a MICHELIN Guide Dubai selection. Modern Japanese on the fifth floor of W Dubai The Palm, with Palm and Marina views and a separate Saturday brunch sitting.
Ce La Vi
Ce La Vi is recognized in the MICHELIN Guide. It occupies the 54th floor of Address Sky View across a restaurant, sky bar and club lounge, and hosts private events for groups from 15 to 600.
