“I’m not surprised that the Michelin Guide is coming I think it’s about time that Dubai got noticed. I think it’s improved a lot,” she said, adding that, in the fine-dining category, Dubai remains exorbitantly priced. I know there’s this image of Dubai’s restaurants as just being expensive with not-so-great food, but I disagree. “When I came to Dubai in 2007, it impressed me on a diversity level there were a lot of really good, really authentic cuisines.
Her sentiments were echoed by chef and cookbook author Dalia Dogmoch Soubra. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s on a par with Paris, London, New York or Tokyo - there’s still some way to go, especially when it comes to modern Emirati and Middle Eastern concepts - but Dubai’s certainly heading in the right direction.” “I think the sign of a matured - not maturing - dining scene is when you have more homegrown concepts than imported concepts,” said Samantha Wood, founder of the impartial restaurant review website. All agreed that, in culinary terms, Dubai is in good health, but also that it has some way to go to match up to the international greats. And that can only be a good thing.Īrab News spoke with three respected Dubai foodies to get their take on where the city’s dining scene stands, compared to the great culinary cities of the world, and what they hoped might be improved by Michelin’s arrival. None of Dubai’s thousands of restaurants will know when a Michelin inspector might be assessing their dishes.

That’s something of a rarity in a region where reviewers (often non-specialist journalists like this writer) are usually invited for a free meal booked well in advance, ensuring they receive the best possible experience. Michelin inspectors visit venues multiple times, anonymously. But it’s not uncommon for Michelin to partner with tourism boards for its guides, and the company has stressed that “one star in Dubai equals one star in Paris.” That has led some skeptics to speculate that the list will be filled with international headliners in tourist-friendly venues. (No spoilers, so no descriptions, but it’s genuinely horrific.)ĭUBAI: The Michelin Guide - the restaurant industry’s most-respected guidebook - will launch its Dubai edition this month in partnership with Dubai Tourism. Not just for his appearance - reminiscent of the undead in “Game of Thrones” - but for what he does to his victims. The humanoid demon and main antagonist, Vecna, is terrifying. And the new danger takes the show further into horror territory than ever before (although its trademark humor remains thankfully intact too). Six months on (but three actual years since the last season), the rest of the gang (El’s boyfriend Mike, his friends Dustin, Lucas, and Max, his sister Nancy, her ex-boyfriend Steve and his friend Robin) remain in Hawkins - a town in mourning following the Mindflayer’s decimation of its population - hopeful that the Upside-Down is now shut forever. The sci-fi horror show’s main setting is the fictional town of Hawkins. Last season’s finale laid fertile ground for showrunners the Duffer brothers to explore: Eleven vanquished (with bully-turned-hero Billy’s help) the Mindflayer in the Battle of Starcourt Mall, but at the cost of her superpowers her adoptive father, Hawkins’ chief of police Jim Hopper, was (we thought) killed while destroying the Russian weapon responsible for reopening the portal to the underworld and Joyce Byers and her sons Will and Jonathan (and the re-orphaned Eleven) moved to California to start a new life. But they also opened a portal to a dangerous alternate dimension: The Upside-Down - where demonic entities dwell, posing a lethal threat to Hawkins and the wider world. One, involving children, resulted in Eleven - a girl with awesome psychokinetic powers. Once again, the sci-fi horror show’s main setting is the fictional town of Hawkins - unremarkable except for a laboratory the Ministry of Defense once used for some deeply unethical scientific experiments. DUBAI: “Stranger Things” is back for its penultimate season.
