What people say

Lucy Mulcahy
"3Fils is a Japanese and Middle-Eastern fusion restaurant located in the Jumeirah fishing port. The kitchen team is led by "umami warrior" Shen Shiroma from Okinawa. Opened in 2016, it is honestly so beloved by now, it has been voted the fifth-best restaurant in the MENA region. "Unique" is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but there really is no other way to describe the flavours here. The team is just so innovative! Definitely not overpriced, but you're looking at small portions, to favour quality over quantity. "

"The best time to visit is just before sunset, allowing you to relish the breathtaking view of the sun setting. It's advisable to make a prior reservation for the best experience, but if you choose to walk in, the wait is worth it. During the wait, take a leisurely stroll along the harbor, capturing plenty of picturesque moments to enhance your overall experience "

It's no secret, I am a huge fan of the food scene in Dubai. As a multi-cultural, cosmopolitain city, the variety of restaurants and cuisines is unmatched. And it’s not just Michelin stars and bottomless champagne brunches. There are so many surprises in this city, including delicious low-key eateries, that cater to the many different nationalities that make up the UAE's population. Whether you want to eat local Emirati food, try Yemeni or Ethiopian, or enjoy Indian food bursting with flavour, there is so much to discover. Japanese, Thai, Chinese and Korean cuisines in particular have been trendy in Dubai for years, ranging from the authentic to modern fusion. The restaurant scene is so competitive, it has started to attract creatives and celebrity chefs from all over the world who want to make their mark in the city. This being said, Dubai is also a minefield where you can find yourself in a soulless restaurant, that looks the part, but serves average food for haughty prices. To help you navigate the city, I’ve made a list of places that I would honestly recommend, sharing some of my personal favourites, my secret spots as well as classic Dubai institutions that HAVE to be mentioned. Below you'll find both cheap-eats and luxury catering and many options that are veggie and vegan friendly.
