      14 Sheikh Mohammed-approved restaurants to experience in Dubai

      by

      Let the Ruler of Dubai influence your dining decisions… 
      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, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
      Here are 14 Dubai restaurants where Sheikh Mohammed has been spotted.
      Baoli

      One of the biggest new culinary hits at J1 Beach, Baoli brings the flavours of the Far East and Mediterranean together over a crowd-pleasing menu served up in a sophisticated seaside setting. And over the weekend, this lively spot saw a VIP visit from Sheikh Mohammed, who took time to check out several of the new J1 venues. In an Instagram video of Sheikh Mohammed exiting the venue, they posted that they were “deeply honoured” to welcome the Ruler of Dubai.
      Sirene by Gaia

      A seaside iteration of the stalwart homegrown Greek restaurant in DIFC, Sirene is the world’s largest luxury beach club. Having opened at the end of last year, it’s quickly become one of the hottest spots in the city. Over the weekend, the venue got a visit from Sheikh Mohammed, who appeared to be on a tour of J1 Beach. The venue posted that it was a ‘pleasure’ to host the Dubai Ruler.
      Gerbou

      Mere days after opening, earlier this year, Sheikh Mohammed paid a visit to Gerbou. Housed in an ornate Jumeirah villa that dates back to 1987, Gerbou comes from the team behind top-tier concepts including One Michelin Star 11 Woodfire and refined French eatery RSVP. Through a collaboration with Tashkeel and its founder and director HH Sheikha Lateefa bint Maktoum, the two innovative brands have created Gerbou to redefine Emirati dining.
      Gigi Rigolatto 

      Soon after Gigi Rigolatto opened its doors at J1 Beach last year, Sheikh Mohammed paid the venue a visit. From its stunning beachfront location to its exquisite cuisine, every detail is meticulously curated to offer guests an unforgettable experience. The club boasts a state-of-the-art infinity pool, plush sunbeds, and private cabanas, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. The restaurant, a culinary masterpiece, serves up a delectable array of Italian dishes, from classic pasta to fresh seafood. The Bellini Bar, a signature feature of Gigi, offers a wide range of handcrafted cocktails, including the iconic Bellini, a tribute to the brand’s heritage.
      Scalini Cucina

      In November 2024, Sheikh Mohammed was spotted along with other members of the Royal family at Scalini Cucina in Dubai Mall. A casual iteration of the renowned fine dining restaurant, this Italian gem is known for its irresistible home-cooked dishes crafted to perfection.
      Bkry

      His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum visited Alserkal’s popular bkry on 12 June 2024, and the restaurant posted the following caption to its official Instagram account: “We were honoured yesterday by the visit of HH. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum @alserkalavenue. We are beyond thankful for your continued support.”
      Cipriani Dolci

      The Dubai Ruler spotted at the new outpost of the chic Italian eatery in January 2024 with a group. The Cipriani name is firmly a family legacy, with four generations of the Italian Cipriani family building a single restaurant that opened in 1931 into a renowned hospitality brand all over the world. In the UAE, Cipriani’s upscale Italian restaurants can be found in various locations – DIFC in Dubai and Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi.
      Armani Hotel

      Last Ramadan, Sheikh Mohammed was spotted in the fashionable Armani Hotel Dubai. He broke his fast at the outdoor iftar, and the images – albeit from a distance – did the rounds on social media. The venue boasts views of Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain, which twinkle away at night.
      Alaya

      Known for his love for food, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has given Chef Izu Ani’s latest restaurant a royal thumbs up. In a video shared on Chef Izu’s Instagram, Sheikh Mohammed is seen exchanging a handshake with the restauranteur outside new venue Alaya, whilst also sharing a few moments of laughter together. Masterminded by Chef Izu and one of Emirates Man’s former cover stars Evgeny Kuzin, the concept is nothing short of extraordinary, with a combination of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences.
      CÉ LA VI

      This world-famous Singaporean restaurant received the royal seal of approval after Sheikh Mohammed visited in February 2020. Known for their contemporary Asian dishes and incredible views of Dubai’s sweeping skyline, the restaurant is located on the 54th floor terrace of Address Sky Views. Posing against the outdoor infinity pool, this restaurant is one of the most popular fine-dining spots in Dubai.
      Shanghai Me

      The Ruler of Dubai was seen dining out at Shanghai ME located in DIFC with others in September 2020. This establishment is famed for its culinary classics of East Asia, which all have a playful twist.
      Gaia

      In 2021, Sheikh Mohammed was spotted out in DIFC at Gaia, a restaurant founded by Chef Izu Ani. 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.
