A burger, fries and a sprinkle of 24-carat gold… now that’s something we’ve never heard before! Dubai is already known for its extravagance when it comes to food, but when we heard there are restaurants offering actual gold dishes, we had to dig deeper. From 24K gold samosas to charcoal ice cream topped with edible gold, get ready to be amazed with these gold dishes in Dubai…
1. The One & Only Ossobuco Burger
24 Karat Restaurant – the name pretty much says it all. This unique restaurant in Dubai serves up signature dishes with a golden touch, ranging from soup with truffle gold flakes to burrata topped with gold. One particular dish that caught our eye was The One & Only Ossobuco Burger, made with slow-cooked veal Ossobuco and topped with – you guessed it – gold!
Location: 24 Karat, Marriott Hotel Al Jaddaf Dubai
Price: AED 165 (you can also order this burger without gold for AED 98)
2. Charcoal ice cream with edible gold
Offering unique ice cream flavours such as rose & chilli and avocado & nachos, we think it’s safe to say Scoopi Café is one of Dubai’s quirkiest ice cream parlours. Not only does it boast the most expensive ice cream in Dubai, it also offers charcoal ice cream sprinkled with edible gold.
Location: Scoopi, Umm Suqeim and Dubai Marina
Price: AED 99
3. 24-carat gold cappuccino
This list of luxury wouldn’t be complete without a mention of Burj Al Arab. We were lucky enough to spend the night at Burj Al Arab and got to try Sahn Eddar‘s impressive 24-carat gold cappuccino. Not only was it topped with 24-carat gold dust, it also came served on a gold tray, with a gold spoon, and in a gold cup. Now this is the type of caffeine kick that we could get used to…
Location: Sahn Eddar in Burj Al Arab
Price: AED 85
4. Cioccolato
Got a sweet tooth? The Cioccolato dessert at Armani Ristorante features dark chocolate mousse, white cremoso, cocoa sponge, milkshake sauce and 24-carat gold. Let’s just say this is definitely one dessert that is so worth the calories…
Location: Armani Ristorante, Armani Hotel Dubai, Burj Khalifa
Price: AED 95
5. 24K Gold Samosa
Yes, you read that right – Dubai actually has a 24-carat gold samosa! Adding a unique touch of luxury to everyone’s favourite snack, this JLT restaurant is serving up a quirky array of samosa flavours – one of which is dipped in actual 24K gold. Available for dine in only, head down to Yalla Samosa to check it out!
