Debuting in the Michelin Guide Dubai 2025 straight to three stars is FZN by Björn Frantzén at Atlantis, The Palm. The restaurant showcases the chef's creative approach to modern European cuisine, infused with Japanese influences, over a nine-course tasting menu. Sibling to the also three-Michelin-starred Frantzén in Stockholm and Zén in Singapore, FZN is the Swedish maestro's second eatery in Dubai after Studio Frantzén, also at Atlantis, The Palm.

Fine Italian cuisine is at the heart of Il Ristorante - Niko Romito – one of the proud two Michelin-star winners in Dubai. The restaurant, located at the Bulgari Hotel & Resorts, was conceptualised to showcase traditional culture through its cooking. From Parmigiano Reggiano soup to roasted langoustines salad and spaghetti with sea urchins, this eatery serves up favourites that will transport you to the scenic Italian countryside. Seafood fans will not be disappointed with the variety on offer, with the oven-baked black cod being a showstopper.

An exclusive curated, vegetarian degustation experience, avatara is defined as the reincarnation of soulful Indian food. Helmed by Passion F&B, the culinary masters behind The World's 50 Best lauded Trèsind and Trèsind Studio, avatara focuses on locally-farmed, seasonal ingredients, presented with panache. After starting life in the intimate space formerly occupied by Trèsind Studio at voco Hotel, the restaurant has relocated to a larger purpose-built space in Business Park 1 in Dubai Hills. The venue presents an intimate experience that sits just 30 diners a night. Each dish from the 16-course menu arrives with an explanation of the ingredients and origin, often with a personal anecdote from the chef.
