At an event held at One&Only One Za’abeel hotel, Michelin
unveiled its new selection of restaurants for The MICHELIN Guide
Dubai 2024. A total of 106 establishments, covering 35 different
types of cuisine, have impressed the famously anonymous MICHELIN
Inspectors and made this year’s final selection.
For this third edition, The MICHELIN Guide Dubai
recognizes four new one MICHELIN Star restaurants, and one new two
MICHELIN Stars restaurant, as well as 6 new Bib Gourmands.
“Dubai is now truly recognized as an
international gastronomic destination and its impressive
development continues year on year,” says Gwendal Poullennec,
International Director of The MICHELIN Guides. “Its appeal isn’t
just with international travelers or local gourmets; talented chefs
and restaurateurs from around the world are now also attracted by
its vibrant dining scene and arrive keen to make their own mark in
the city. With so many different styles of restaurant and types of
cuisine, there really is something for
everyone.” One new restaurant awarded two
MICHELIN Stars
Row on 45 is not only new to
the Guide but goes straight in with two MICHELIN Stars. It comes
from acclaimed British chef Jason Atherton and is located on the
45th floor of The Grosvenor House. It offers a tasting menu to just
22 people, where Japanese ingredients are married with French
techniques to provide exquisite and refined dishes.
‘Refinement Of
Work’ indeed.
4 restaurants newly awarded one MICHELIN
Star
Dubai adds 4 new one MICHELIN Star restaurants
to its constellation.
La Dame de Pic is acclaimed
chef Anne-Sophie Pic’s debut in Dubai and she is rewarded with a
MICHELIN Star for her modern French cuisine. She introduces a few
subtle local influences in some of her famous and celebrated
signature dishes.
Smoked Room is another
restaurant that goes straight into the Guide with a MICHELIN Star.
In 2024, Chef Dani García introduced Dubai diners to this sister
restaurant to his flagship in Madrid. Fire and grills are used to
great effect in the creative dishes.
Sagetsu by Tetsuya, under
talented chef Tetsuya Wakuda and his team, offers a sublime
culinary experience by fusing Japanese and French culinary
influences in chic, serene surroundings. It also goes straight into
the Guide with a MICHELIN Star.
Orfali Bros is run by three
Syrian brothers and provides globally influenced small plates that
are bold and balanced. This deservedly popular restaurant has
matured and developed and, having previously received a Bib
Gourmand, is now the recipient of a MICHELIN Star.
All the restaurants awarded one MICHELIN Star in
the 2023 selection maintain their distinction this year, bringing
the total to 4 restaurants with two MICHELIN Stars and 15
restaurants with one MICHELIN Star.
6 restaurants receive a Bib
Gourmand
In addition to the new MICHELIN Stars, 6 new Bib
Gourmands were announced for Dubai. Named after Bibendum, the
official name of the Michelin Man, the Bib Gourmand is the award
for restaurants that offer great quality, great value
cooking.
The 6 restaurants are: DUO
Gastrobar: a contemporary restaurant offering a mix of
Asian and European flavors. Revelry: little
sister to avatāra, which is next door, this Indian 'tapas bar'
offers a mix of the traditional and the
modern. Berenjak: Plenty of Persian classics
are on offer at this sister branch to the London
original. Hoe Lee Kow: another venture from
notable local chef Reif Othman, this Korean eatery specializes in
barbecue. REIF Japanese Kushiyaki – Dubai
Hills: a second branch, this one in Dubai Hills, offering
everything from kushiyaki to classics with a modern
twist. Konjiki Hototogisu: a very
likeable Japanese restaurant on the second floor of the Mall of the
Emirates, specializing in ramen and other favorites.
MICHELIN Special
Awards
With its Special Awards, The MICHELIN Guide aims
to highlight and celebrate the amazing diversity of the roles
within the hospitality industry, as well as its most talented and
inspiring professionals.
This year, the Young Chef Award
goes to Jesus Lobato Suarez who, at just 30 years
old, is Head Chef at Smoked Room, which has gained
a MICHELIN Star for 2024. This focused young chef has a calming and
relaxed demeanor. He leads from the front and has a maturity well
beyond his years.
The Sommelier Award goes to
Michael Mpofu, the South African Sommelier at
Celebrities by Mauro Colagreco. His warm, affable
and friendly approach is coupled with a clear passion for wine.
Michael’s infectious and engaging style and his comprehensive
knowledge puts every guest at ease and elevates every dining
experience. His recommendations are always spot on!
The Service Award is given to
the team at DuangDy by BO.LAN. The wonderfully
warm Thai hospitality is led by General Manager Apichaya Khomson
and Team Leader Veerawich (Champion) Chanthawatthamkul. The team
makes a great effort to ensure everyone feels so welcome and their
friendliness and warmth makes dining here a true
pleasure.
The Opening of the Year for
2024 goes to The Guild. ICD Brookfield is now home
to somewhere that really does offer something for everyone. From a
coffee shop to a greenhouse-style meeting room, a cocktail bar to a
choice of two restaurants, whatever it is you’re looking for,
you’ll find it here. The Guild is strikingly designed, deservedly
busy, run with confidence and ability, and is a great addition to
the city’s dining scene.
