The MICHELIN Guide is coming to Dubai

The MICHELIN Guide has announced its arrival in Dubai and will unveil its first selection in 2022. The emirate will be the latest addition to the MICHELIN Guide, which currently covers 36 culinary destinations across North America, South America, Asia Pacific and Europe. The full 2022 selection of the MICHELIN Guide Dubai restaurants worldwide will be available on the MICHELIN Guide website and on the MICHELIN Guide App, where users can search for restaurants based on their location, cuisine or additional features.

“We are delighted to announce that Dubai will be joining the MICHELIN Guide family. Our team of inspectors is already on the field, in order to prepare the first selection of restaurants, which will be revealed in June,” said Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the MICHELIN Guides. He added: “We will be showcasing the best of Dubai’s gastronomy, to reflect not just the sophistication that the city is famed for, but also the wide diversity of cuisines that the city’s location and history provide.”

Issam Kazim, chief executive officer of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing, said: “With Dubai home to thousands of restaurants serving a variety of cuisines from fine dining to street food and talented chefs, the MICHELIN Guide Dubai will provide a fresh perspective and new insights into the diversity, creativity and multicultural nature of Dubai’s culinary offering. We are excited to discover the special selection for Dubai.” The selection will be made according to the tried-and-tested methodology applied all over the world by the inspectors of the MICHELIN Guide, based on its universally applied set of five criteria, including the quality of the ingredients, the mastery of cooking, the harmony of flavors, the personality of the chef through the cuisine and the consistency both over time and across the entire menu. These are applied to all the selected restaurants in order to help gastronomes from around the world make an informed choice.

The MICHELIN Guide conveys its restaurant reviews through an extensive system of distinctions, the most revered of which are its globally renowned MICHELIN Stars. One MICHELIN Star is awarded to restaurants for “high quality cooking that is worth a stop,” two MICHELIN stars for “excellent cooking that is worth a detour,” and three MICHELIN stars for “exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey.” Besides the coveted star ratings, the selection will also include the popular Bib Gourmand category, which is awarded to establishments providing value-for-money three-course meals.
