Looking for a new foodie experience to try this month? From hidden gems along the Creek to trendy new openings in DIFC, here are six new restaurants in Dubai that we’re loving right now.
1. NOÉPE
We actually checked NOÉPE out last weekend and the first thing we said was, “we feel like we’re on holiday“. Situated on Park Hyatt’s scenic Promenade, NOÉPE offers chilled-out vibes, amazing food (the lobster rolls are a must!) and refreshing sundowners.
Where: Park Hyatt Dubai, Dubai Creek
2. GIA
A brand new foodie hotspot in Dubai Mall’s Fashion Avenue Extension, GIA offers authentic Italian food in a homey setting. From Porcini E Lumache to Ossobuco e Risotto, the carefully-curated menu oozes flair and flavour in all the right ways.
Where: The Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai
3. ONI
Asian food lovers, there’s a new Japanese restaurant in town and it looks awesome! From hand-rolled sushi to spiced ramen, head down to ONI for a true taste of Japan. Expect to find the freshest ingredients used in every single dish – all of which are imported from Japan’s ‘hakodate asaichi’ (morning market).
Where: Shangri-La Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road
4. Crab Market
Serving up some of the freshest crab in the city at affordable prices, the newly-opened Crab Market was made for Dubai’s seafood lovers. Specialising in Kamchatka Crab imported directly from Russia, Crab Market offers a unique dining experience that won’t break the bank.
