Dubai Restaurants

  1. Amwaj

    It's rare in Dubai to find an adroit kitchen staff properly schooled in classic European technique, which is exactly why we love Amwaj. Seafood is the specialty on the French-derivative menu. Dishes may include torchon de foie gras with warm brioche toast, sautéed scallops fanned on the plate and topped with an elegant saffron-orange foam, or rack of lamb on eggplant compote with black-olive sauce.

  2. Hoi An

    Teakwood latticework, plantation shutters, and spinning wooden ceiling fans evoke a très civilisé Colonial-era Vietnam at this upmarket French-Vietnamese restaurant. The flavours are lively and bright. Start with the crispy crab rolls, then move on to the signatures: lotus-wrapped sea bass with ginger-lemon sauce, or tamarind-spiced rack of lamb. Deliciously low lighting and genteel service make this an ideal place for a third date.
