"At.mosphere is excellent. They serve a really impressive menu, and their Japanese scallops with vadouvan, cauliflower, raisins and almonds is presented beautifully. The foie gras, apple, beetroot, apple and vanilla dish is absolutely stunning, too."

"A definite for seafood lovers, this restaurant does over-the-top in true Dubai style. Located at Dubai's seven-star hotel, the Burj Al Arab, it has a distinctly underwater feel thanks to its floor-to-ceiling aquarium, and serves exceptional seafood created by Michelin-star winning chef, Nathan Outlaw."

"Order the beautiful lobster risotto featuring carnaroli rice cooked just right, orange segments, scallions, and -- of course -- tender, fiery red lobster."

"Fine-dining Arabic isn't as common as it should be in this part of the world, but this eatery does it exceptionally well," says Hundal of Q'bara, which is currently relocating. "The stylish restaurant and lounge's dishes interpret traditional Middle Eastern fare in a contemporary way."

"Darren Velvick headed the kitchen at one of Dubai's most well-known offerings, Table 9 -- among other restaurants around the world -- before starting The Croft. While I'm not sure it's quite Michelin-level just yet, Velvick is exceptionally talented when it comes to bringing out his ingredients' flavors and pairing them perfectly."
The Croft by Darren Velvick —

"Velvick's contemporary British food is very, very good, and unpretentious. Try the Scotch Egg; chef Darren smokes the chicken using tea leaves and apple wood bark to give it depth of flavor."

This is the ideal place to book a table when you want sophistication, exceptional service and really good French food.  The duck a l'orange is tender and juicy with the perfect amount of pink in the middle, and the citrus' subtle sweetness does not overpower the flavor of the meat.
