With a plethora of restaurants available in Dubai, it can be hard to choose where to go. However, we’ll happily go to any place that’s approved by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Here’s six restaurants in the emirate which are approved by His Highness.
Shanghai ME
The Ruler of Dubai was seen dining out at Shanghai ME located in DIFC with a few others back in September. This establishment is famed for its culinary classics of East Asia, which all have a playful twist. The restaurant is relatively new to the Dubai restaurant scene, having only opened in September last year.

The venue serves up a fresh take on Mediterranean cuisine including seafood orzo, baked feta cheese, indulgent truffle potatoes and the unmissable mille-feuille that is nothing like you’ve ever tried before – trust us.
