If you’re looking for three square meals in Dubai, you won’t be disappointed. Indeed, the real problem is choosing where to have those meals – and whether to have just one more. Restaurants, after all, are burgeoning in the city, with new food outlets opening at the rate of four per day.
Figures from Dubai Municipality show that the number of restaurants opening last year tripled from 2014, bringing to the total to over 16,000 places to eat. Most of us, if we’re honest, only sample a fraction of those places: we have our favourite Lebanese for languid Saturdays, an Italian for romantic evenings and an Indian takeaway for weekdays when we’re too lazy to cook. (If you’re wondering, Friday brunch doesn’t technically count as a restaurant.)
Yet Dubai has so much more: obscure Asian restaurants, restaurants from African countries and food trucks in most of the parks. So this is a challenge: try something different for dinner this week. You might just find a new firm favourite.
