Dubai’s strive for excellence doesn’t stop with its architectural and engineering marvels. The city’s culinary landscape mirrors an inexhaustible insistence on perfection, luxury and exoticism. Every type of imaginable cuisine is represented. Restaurants operated by prestigious chefs are a backbone of the Dubai food adventure. These experiences are defined not just by the food – but by breathtaking views, impeccable service, stunning architecture and intricate décor. Most fine-dining venues have strict dress policies against shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops or other attire that may be too casual.
A mainstay of the Dubai food scene, this award winning restaurant establishes the benchmark of refinement in Japanese cuisine. While the succulent miso-marinated black cod, seafood and meats seared on the robatayaki grill, andr oasted Boston lobster with ponzu butter are perennial hits, anything from the main dish or sushi menus will delight. Since Zuma is in high demand, a reservation in advance of your arrival is essential for scoring a seat.
