      14 Sheikh Mohammed-approved restaurants to visit in Dubai

      by

      Life

      by Team Emirates Woman
      1 day ago

      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.
      Siraj

      Known for its authentic Emirati cuisine with a contemporary twist, Siraj is another Sheikh Mohammed-approved restaurant. It’s located within the Souk Al Bahar, the world-famous Arabian Souk overlooking the Dubai Fountain.
      Farzi Cafe

      Having trouble sleeping over the long weekend? Here’s the secret…

      Many of us spend more time trying to fall asleep rather than actually sleeping.
      The number of hours recommended by experts for sleep depends on your age. However, most people need at least 7 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. Just the act of trying too hard to fall asleep may cause wreak an air of anxious, nerve-wracking energy that keeps you awake. If your mind can’t sleep, it’s difficult for your body to follow, too.
      To delve into the subject of sleeping well, the wellbeing practitioners from Patina Maldives‘ award winning FLOW Spa, have shared these expert tips to help enhance your sleep quality, ensuring you wake up refreshed and ready to tackle the day.
      From dietary choices to relaxation techniques, designed to help you drift off more easily and enjoy a deeper, more restorative slumber.
      Eat Right to Sleep Tight
      Your diet can significantly impact your sleep quality. Incorporating certain foods into your evening routine can promote relaxation and help you fall asleep faster. Kiwi, cherries, milk, fatty fish, nuts, and rice have been found to aid in relaxation and sleep. These foods are rich in nutrients that support the production of sleep-regulating hormones, making them perfect additions to your dinner or pre-bedtime snack.

      Chamomile as a Sleep-Inducer
      Chamomile tea has long been revered for its calming properties. Drinking one cup of chamomile tea about 45 minutes before bed can help induce sleepiness. Additionally, chamomile essential oil, when diffused in the air, releases a subtle floral aroma that has a calming and relaxing effect on the mind. Incorporating chamomile into your nightly routine can create a soothing atmosphere conducive to sleep.

      Breathing Techniques
      Breathing exercises can be a powerful tool for reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation before bed. The 4-7-8 breathing technique, also known as relaxing breath, involves a rhythmic pattern of inhaling, holding the breath, and exhaling. This technique helps calm the mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep. To practice, exhale completely through your mouth, then inhale quietly through your nose for a count of 4, hold for a count of 7, and exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of 8. Repeat this cycle around six times before returning to normal breathing.
      Progressive Muscle Relaxation Against Insomnia
      Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is an effective method for reducing physical tension and promoting relaxation. This technique involves tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups in the body. Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down, where you won’t be disturbed for 10-15 minutes. Focus on each muscle group, tensing for five seconds while breathing in, then releasing and relaxing. Repeat the process for each muscle group, gradually using less tension each time. This practice can help you release the day’s stress and prepare your body for restful sleep.
      Warm Bath
      Taking a hot shower or bath 90 minutes before bed can significantly improve your ability to fall asleep. The warm water helps you unwind, and as your body cools down afterward, it triggers your circadian rhythms to signal that it’s time to sleep. This cooling-down process promotes a natural decline in core body temperature, which is essential for falling asleep quickly and enjoying deep, restorative sleep.
      Here’s what can help enhance your sleep routine…
