PARIS, July 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At an event held at One&Only One
Za'abeel hotel, Michelin unveiled its new selection of restaurants for The
MICHELIN Guide Dubai 2024. A total of 106 establishments, covering 35 different
types of cuisine, have impressed the famously anonymous MICHELIN Inspectors and
made this year's final selection.
For this third edition, The MICHELIN Guide Dubai recognizes four new one
MICHELIN Star restaurants, and one new two MICHELIN Stars restaurant, as well as
6 new Bib Gourmands.
"Dubai is now truly recognized as an international gastronomic destination and
its impressive development continues year on year," says Gwendal Poullennec,
International Director of The MICHELIN Guides. "Its appeal isn't just with
international travelers or local gourmets; talented chefs and restaurateurs from
around the world are now also attracted by its vibrant dining scene and arrive
keen to make their own mark in the city. With so many different styles of
restaurant and types of cuisine, there really is something for everyone."
One new restaurant awarded two MICHELIN Stars
Row on 45 is not only new to the Guide but goes straight in with two MICHELIN
Stars. It comes from acclaimed British chef Jason Atherton and is located on the
45th floor of The Grosvenor House. It offers a tasting menu to just 22 people,
where Japanese ingredients are married with French techniques to provide
exquisite and refined dishes. 'Refinement Of Work' indeed.
4 restaurants newly awarded one MICHELIN Star
Dubai adds 4 new one MICHELIN Star restaurants to its constellation.
La Dame de Pic is acclaimed chef Anne-Sophie Pic's debut in Dubai and she is
rewarded with a MICHELIN Star for her modern French cuisine. She introduces a
few subtle local influences in some of her famous and celebrated signature
dishes.
Smoked Room is another restaurant that goes straight into the Guide with a
MICHELIN Star. In 2024, Chef Dani García introduced Dubai diners to this sister
restaurant to his flagship in Madrid. Fire and grills are used to great effect
in the creative dishes.
Sagetsu by Tetsuya, under talented chef Tetsuya Wakuda and his team, offers a
sublime culinary experience by fusing Japanese and French culinary influences in
chic, serene surroundings. It also goes straight into the Guide with a MICHELIN
Star.
Orfali Bros is run by three Syrian brothers and provides globally influenced
small plates that are bold and balanced. This deservedly popular restaurant has
matured and developed and, having previously received a Bib Gourmand, is now the
recipient of a MICHELIN Star.
All the restaurants awarded one MICHELIN Star in the 2023 selection maintain
their distinction this year, bringing the total to 4 restaurants with two
MICHELIN Stars and 15 restaurants with one MICHELIN Star.
6 restaurants receive a Bib Gourmand
In addition to the new MICHELIN Stars, 6 new Bib Gourmands were announced for
Dubai. Named after Bibendum, the official name of the Michelin Man, the Bib
Gourmand is the award for restaurants that offer great quality, great value
cooking.
The 6 restaurants are:
DUO Gastrobar: a contemporary restaurant offering a mix of Asian and European
flavors.
Revelry: little sister to avat?ra, which is next door, this Indian 'tapas bar'
offers a mix of the traditional and the modern.
Berenjak: Plenty of Persian classics are on offer at this sister branch to the
London original.
Hoe Lee Kow: another venture from notable local chef Reif Othman, this Korean
eatery specializes in barbecue.
REIF Japanese Kushiyaki - Dubai Hills: a second branch, this one in Dubai Hills,
offering everything from kushiyaki to classics with a modern twist.
Konjiki Hototogisu: a very likeable Japanese restaurant on the second floor of
the Mall of the Emirates, specializing in ramen and other favorites.
MICHELIN Special Awards
With its Special Awards, The MICHELIN Guide aims to highlight and celebrate the
amazing diversity of the roles within the hospitality industry, as well as its
most talented and inspiring professionals.
This year, the Young Chef Award goes to Jesus Lobato Suarez who, at just 30
years old, is Head Chef at Smoked Room, which has gained a MICHELIN Star for
2024. This focused young chef has a calming and relaxed demeanor. He leads from
the front and has a maturity well beyond his years.
The Sommelier Award goes to Michael Mpofu, the South African Sommelier at
Celebrities by Mauro Colagreco. His warm, affable and friendly approach is
coupled with a clear passion for wine. Michael's infectious and engaging style
and his comprehensive knowledge puts every guest at ease and elevates every
dining experience. His recommendations are always spot on!
The Service Award is given to the team at DuangDy by BO.LAN. The wonderfully
warm Thai hospitality is led by General Manager Apichaya Khomson and Team Leader
Veerawich (Champion) Chanthawatthamkul. The team makes a great effort to ensure
everyone feels so welcome and their friendliness and warmth makes dining here a
true pleasure.
The Opening of the Year for 2024 goes to The Guild. ICD Brookfield is now home
to somewhere that really does offer something for everyone. From a coffee shop
to a greenhouse-style meeting room, a cocktail bar to a choice of two
restaurants, whatever it is you're looking for, you'll find it here. The Guild
is strikingly designed, deservedly busy, run with confidence and ability, and is
a great addition to the city's dining scene.
