Verre by Gordon Ramsay
The eponymous British chef hardly ever comes by anymore, but fortunately executive chef Matt Pickop is competently helming the kitchen. Long one of the top eateries in town, Verre continues to stand out for embracing the gentle art de la table in all its sensuality – from your first sip of champagne to your last bite of chocolate, this is one meal you won’t soon forget.

Tall palms sway in the breeze around the outdoor patio at the Ritz-Carlton’s northern Italian restaurant, an ideal spot to hold hands by candlelight.

In fact, the cooking is more upmarket trattoria style: earthy and rich as in the ravioli alle noci (walnut-and-mascarpone ravioli) and agnello arrosto (pan-roasted lamb loin). The Friday champagne brunch has a constant league of fans.

Eauzone
This jewel of a restaurant is an inspired port of call drawing friends, lovebirds and trendy families. The poolside setting is sublime, with decks jutting out over illuminated blue water like little islands, while the menu is a winning fusion of European cooking techniques and Pacific Rim flavours. This is smart cooking, some of the best in Dubai. Reservations essential.
