Up on the blog this week is one of the newer additions to the Dubai food scene - Sushi Samba @ St Regis! This is a Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant that has already welcomed the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sheikh Hamdan.

This week on the blog, I wanna share some of the most authentic Japanese cuisine experiences I’ve had since I’ve had in Dubai, and it is none other than Tomo! This is a comfy Japanese restaurant near Wafi Mall (Raffles Hotel is connected to Wafi Mall).

Today, I’m sharing a lovely restaurant - Leonardo at the Stella di Mare Hotel. This is one of the highest-rated restaurants on the “The Entertainer” app, and it so rightfully deserves that acclaim. This is one of the best deals on the app, and I’ll show you what we had!

Formerly known as Kim’s Singapore Seafood, I honestly think that the revitalized Sedap Kitchen is a place where you can get a wonderful taste of Singapore with a beautiful view overlooking Dubai Creek.

This week on the blog, I’m sharing Maine, a popular French restaurant in Business Bay for all you foodies! This is a restaurant serving up delicious French foods at a reasonable business lunch price. This review will cover their lunch offerings - I’m personally not familiar with their dinner/a-la-carte offerings.

Got another place to share to get your Japanese food cravings fix and this time I’m sharing my thoughts about my visit to Goldfish Sushi & Yakitori! This is a pretty hip sushi/yakitori joint focusing on high-quality casual Japanese dining, here’s what I thought!

Today I’m sharing the sister restaurant to Zuma (which I blogged about previously) - a restaurant that I’m a big fan of. I would say as a straight comparison, Zuma is the more upbeat place with everything happening quickly and Roka is the more cozy/comfy place.

A humble spot for Asian food at a cheaper price point is none other than Daikan, with their assortment of ramens and titbits.

Today I’m sharing a restaurant at which I had my birthday dinner with my parents. It is none other than Marina Social by Jason Atherton, located on the first floor of the Intercontinental Hotel (Dubai Marina).

One restaurant that has been eagerly anticipated by the Malaysian crowd in Dubai is none other than Oriental Dining - whose chef is actually a Malaysian who built a foodie following at Oriental Restaurant Dubai!

I’m not going to lie, on entry to Nine Squares, I actually didn’t particularly think : Chinese Steamboat Restaurant. I think my thoughts went more in the direction of “Rustic Western Restaurant” simply because of the interior design.

Today I’m sharing an Argentinian restaurant-dance studio hybrid restaurant in DIFC, Dubai. This review covers what they offer for their business lunch. I’m not particularly sure when they hold tango classes, but all the information (including booking) is available on their website.

Kimura-ya is a Japanese Izakaya-style restaurant with a very wide menu and a casual atmosphere. Overall, I would say that this is a really cozy restaurant providing an authentic Japanese dining experience.

Honestly my pick for Malaysian friends in Dubai if you’re missing home, Social House offers quality Asian food, (you got the lot really, Korean bibimbap, nasi goreng, satay, really most things you would miss from Malaysia) Western food and some great desserts to compliment them.

Trendy, hip and wildly popular, Zuma Dubai combines traditional Japanese tastes with a contemporary twist, making it one of the hardest places to get a table in Dubai. Promising of high quality ingredients and vibrant atmosphere, this is definitely one of the best eats in Dubai for a reason.

Sharing a really fun one today - because I think the concept is modern, fun and almost smart casual. It’s Tasca, by 2-Michelin-star chef Jose Avillez (of Belcanto fame). This is a really new place that I haven’t seen too many reviews about, so it is one that I am absolutely thrilled to share with you guys.

My first time in a restaurant by Gordon Ramsay, and it doesn’t disappoint. Bread Street Kitchen is a lovely spot for a relaxing lunch with quality food at Atlantis Dubai! (and don’t forget to try the beef wellington - Gordon Ramsay’s signature!)

So, last Friday (yes, weekends are Friday and Saturday here) my family headed to Shangri La Dubai to check out the weekend a-la-carte buffet offered at the Vietnamese restaurant Hoi An. (I sincerely apologise about the quality of the photos, the lighting and everything made it a bit difficult but this is what I have)

Sharing a great eating spot at City Walk, and this time it’s Mitts & Trays City Walk! This is a really good option for Western food developed by Chef Amna. You’ve got a really wide menu, decent prices and a whole lot of fresh ingredients to go around here!
