BOCA – Where Sustainability Meets Taste:

Dubai's not just about glitz and glamour; it's about green stars too! Meet BOCA, the DIFC gem that's not only serving up dishes like kingfish ceviche and roasted spiced potatoes but also bagged a green star in the Michelin galaxy for its commitment to sustainable dining. This place is so eco-friendly; even the air seems to whisper, "reduce, reuse, and relish." Plus, the kitchen is led by the formidable Chef Patricia Roig, proving that Dubai's culinary scene has a taste for both excellence and equality.




Frying Pan Adventures – Street Food Extravaganza:

Why settle for a regular tour when you can embark on a culinary odyssey with the fabulous Ahmed sisters from Frying Pan Adventures? We took a stroll through the spice souk, discovering hidden gems like paratha-filled dreams and Persian faloodeh delights. If your taste buds are itching for a joyride, this is the food tour you never knew you needed. Who knew Dubai had a street food scene that could rival the skyline?




Al Ustad – Where Kebabs Reign Supreme:

Tucked away past the textile souk, Al Ustad is the Persian kebab haven that'll make your mouth water from the moment you spot the chefs grilling those juicy kebabs. With a canteen-style vibe and walls adorned with decades of dining memories, this spot is a hidden gem that attracts both locals and tourists alike. Their kebab khas is the stuff of legends – marinated in yogurt, it's a carnivore's dream come true.




Orfali Bros Bistro – Culinary Poetry in Motion:

Picture this: three brothers, one kitchen, and a menu that's a love letter to their roots and culinary adventures. Orfali Bros Bistro isn't just a restaurant; it's a dining experience that recently snagged the title of the best in the Middle East and North Africa. From burnt leek and truffle pide to umami eclairs, these brothers are serving up a symphony of flavors that'll make you wish they had a branch in every corner of the globe.




Time Out Market – A Carnival of Cravings:

Craving street food with a side of glamour? Time Out Market is your foodie fantasy come to life. With 17 food concepts to explore, this downtown destination is a feast for the senses. Drama is the theme here, with gold leaf garnishes and nitrogen-frozen ice cream stealing the show. It's a market like no other, where every bite comes with a side of spectacle.




Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant – Cooking Up History:

Ever cooked your own meal in a restaurant? Neither had I, until I stumbled upon Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant. From regag bread to crafting our own machboos, this rooftop kitchen experience is a hands-on history lesson in Emirati cuisine. Forget the regular cooking class; this is a culinary adventure where you eat what you create, and trust me, it's a treat worth savoring.




Avatara – Michelin Stars for Vegetarian Wonders:

Vegetarian fine dining in Dubai? You bet! Avatara, Dubai's first and only all-vegetarian Michelin-starred restaurant, is breaking stereotypes and serving up a 16-course tasting menu that'll have even the most devout carnivores questioning their choices. From cucumber granita to horse gram curry, each dish comes with its own story or fun fact, making it an enlightening and delicious journey.

So, the next time you find yourself in the city of skyscrapers, don't just look up at the buildings – look down at your plate and savor the culinary magic that Dubai has to offer.
