Michelin is delighted to unveil the new selection of restaurants for The MICHELIN Guide Dubai 2024. This year’s award winners were announced at a ceremony held at One&Only One Za’abeel hotel.
The selection that makes up the third edition of the Dubai Guide includes a total of 106 restaurants. The headline news this year is the awarding of Two MICHELIN Stars to Row on 45, along with the award of One MICHELIN Star to 4 other restaurants, as well as 6 new Bib Gourmands.
Row on 45 accomplishes the impressive feat of going straight into The Guide with Two MICHELIN Stars. Under the aegis of celebrated British chef Jason Atherton, it serves a multi-course tasting menu to just 22 guests. The name derives from an acronym of ‘Refinement of Work’ and its location on the 45th floor of the Grosvenor House hotel. The Inspectors were hugely impressed by the marriage of French techniques with Japanese ingredients such as Hokkaido scallops and Saroma wagyu to create dishes that are refined and sophisticated. The restaurant brings the total number of restaurants with Two MICHELIN Stars in Dubai to 4.
4 Restaurants Newly Awarded One MICHELIN Star
The quality and variety of Dubai’s restaurants continues to improve and develop. A further 4 new One MICHELIN Star restaurants were added to Dubai’s constellation, bringing the total number of One MICHELIN Star restaurants to 15. Once again, a number of celebrated international chefs have opened restaurants in the city.
La Dame de Pic Dubai comes from acclaimed chef consultant Anne-Sophie Pic and is her debut in Dubai. Her modern French cuisine, which sees a few subtle local influences added to her famous signature dishes, is rewarded with a MICHELIN Star.
Smoked Room is another restaurant that goes straight into The Guide with a MICHELIN Star. In 2024, chef Dani GarcÃa introduced Dubai diners to this sister restaurant to his flagship in Madrid. The skill with which the kitchen uses fire and grills for the creative dishes is quite something.
Chef Tetsuya Wakuda is another famous name and he has created Sagetsu by Tetsuya. His team offers a sublime culinary experience by fusing Japanese and French culinary influences in chic surroundings and it too 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, 15 restaurants with One MICHELIN Star and 3 with a MICHELIN Green Star.
