A First for the Middle East: Michelin Guide Reveals 11 Starred and 14 Bib Gourmand Restaurants in Dubai
A prestigious gastronomic selection that covers over 30 destinations worldwide, the Michelin guide is considered one of the world's most respected food guides in existence. The guide anonymously rates restaurants based on a one to three star system and also awards Bib Gourmand for quality cooking at reasonable prices.
During its Middle East debut, Michelin unveiled the 2022 edition of its iconic MICHELIN Guide in Dubai, celebrating the mega-city’s spectacular culinary map. The 69 restaurants in the guide were selected and recommended by anonymous inspectors. 2 restaurants were awarded two stars, 9 received one star, and 14 were recognized as Bib Gourmand restaurants.
Dubai is a city that knows how to eat. With a wide variety of internationally recognized brands paired with many home-grown concepts, it is likely there's a restaurant in the city’s buzzing Food and Beverage scene that will satisfy cravings. From Italian to Japanese and everything in between, the choices are simply endless.
“One thing all the restaurants in this fast paced dynamic and elegant city have in common is they are brimming with passion and enthusiasm. Today, Dubai is settled as an inspiring gastronomic destination and we have no doubts that gourmets from all over the world will be seduced by its very unique energy.”
