The World’s 50 Best Restaurants
Definitely a place worth returning to, and a place deserving to be in The World’s 50 Best MENA: Restaurant Jun’s (28. April 2023)
It’s about one month ago since I’ve last been to the Jun’s, and I was actually looking forward to trying it again, as the last time it was rather stressful to be there (as I had to rush for the airport). This time, I went for the “rainbow heirloom carrots (smoked labneh, soy honey butter, […]
A well-deserved place on The World’s 50 Best Mena (No. 44): Restaurant Jun’s (26. March 2023)
I have tried visiting the Jun’s a few times already since it was nominated No. 44 of The World’s 50 Best MENA, but somehow something got in between. So, before flying out at 8.30pm, I decided to visit it at 6pm. Hence, I had, obviously, not too much time to eat, but they made sure […]
Amazing dishes, but non-satisfactory service performance: Restaurant 11 Woodfire (18. March 2023)
Since there are not too many restaurants of The World’s 50 Best MENA in Dubai, my ambition is to try basically all of them. Tonight, it was time for No. 35. Again, I had asked to have the starters timed, so I wouldn’t end up with all the dishes at the same time. Guess what. […]
Definitely one of the better options of The World’s 50 Best MENA (No. 15): Restaurant Lowe (17. March 2023)
Apparently, the Lowe is No. 15 of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants in MENA. Well, I’m not entirely sure about that, but I would definitely see why it ranks high up on that ranking. It is located quite a bit outside of anything central in Dubai, hence, it takes a while to get there. But […]
An absolutely delicious, dry experience in The World’s 50 Best MENA number 1: Restaurant Orfali Bros Bistro (4. February 2023)
And it was finally time for number 1 on the list of The World’s 50 Best MENA! The Orfali Bros Bistro! I was surprised that they hadn’t called in advance to re-confirm the reservation, but they worked according to the bookings, and since the place is rather small, I would highly recommend you to book […]
Quite a delicious experience with way too small tables: Restaurant Kinoya (2. February 2023)
Since the new list of the World’s 50 Best MENA had just been released, I was curious to try as many as possible during my stay in Dubai this time. The Kinoya is No. 7 of The World’s 50 Best MENA and I must say, I do partially understand why. I started with “spicy edamame” […]
A delicious dining experience at No. 46 of the World’s 50 Best – but not as great as in 2014: Restaurant Belcanto (7. January 2022)
Last time I was at the Belcanto in 2014, it had just been nominated No. 98 of the World’s 50 Best. Since then it has gained one Michelin star (to a total of two) and climbed up to No. 46 in the world. Hence, I was relatively curious to experience it again, and hopefulyl better […]
Abu Dhabi’s best restaurant, allegedly: Restaurant Coya Abu Dhabi (9. December 2022)
According to the Acqua Panna and San Pellegrino’s List 5o Best of the World Middle East, North Africa, the Coya Abu Dhabi ranks as No. 37 of the Middle East, and as the best one in Abu Dhabi. Now, frankly, I’m not sure if that is true, but it is at least not a bad […]
