The UK’s other celebrity chef with the "GR" initials, spiky-haired Gary Rhodes, set himself a mission long ago to prove that British food could be interesting, and if you come here, you’re likely to agree with him. The setting is minimalist white and the food is British classic with a high-end twist. Gary’s take on dishes such as herb-crusted lamb and bread-and-butter pudding are hard to beat, and you’ll be served scones with jam and clotted cream to finish even if you didn’t order them.
4. Indego By Vineet
With the amount of construction workers and laborers in this city, it’s no surprise that Dubai has hundreds of Indian restaurants and takeaways, but none are anything like this. Indego is the mastermind of the world’s only Michelin Star Indian chef, Vineet Bhatia, and his concept is Indian food and flavors with a contemporary look and texture. Dishes like the green-herb tandoori monkfish and spice-crusted sea bass are high-end twists on more familiar Indian food.
3. La Petite Maison
La Petite Maison is located in the city’s financial district. While some restaurants in this area find themselves in sterile office blocks or sandwiched between hotels, this newest outpost of the Mediterranean chain, which has branches in London and Nice, has come up trumps, located next to art galleries and boutiques to give a more relaxed, airy setting.
The food is simple but done exceptionally well: beef carpaccio with prawns in olive oil and basil, foie gras with green beans,and truffle pasta and salt-baked filet of sea bass are particular highlights. And as an added twist, most of the staff are actually French (Western staff in restaurants are rarely seen in this city).
2.Armani Ristorante
Dubai is certainly full of firsts: Gordon Ramsay opened his first restaurant outside of the UK here with Verre, and Giorgio Armani chose the city as the first place to launch an Armani-branded hotel. Located within the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, the hotel boasts a number of restaurants at the same level of quality as an Armani suit. Homemade pasta and bruschetta are par for the course, but where this eatery really excels is in its desserts, with each course as memorable in presentation as it is for taste -- just as you would expect from the man who inspires it all.
1. Ossiano
How many Spanish restaurants are there where you can stare into the deep-blue depths of a gigantic fish tank between courses? We can only think of this one, and it’s situated in the Atlantis hotel on the man-made Palm Jumeirah island. The aquarium is one of the major highlights of the restaurant and takes up an entire wall. The late three-Michelin-starred chef Santi Santamaria took this restaurant on as his first outside of Spain, and the menu is something else. Sadly, they won’t cook a shark for you, no matter how much you point at it.
