dinners with all the trimmings, crispy battered chips with feather-light fish, and comforting cottage pie fashioned from slow cooked beef. Bookend your mains with a fabulous coronation chicken and a sweet treat such as the quintessentially English sticky toffee pudding. At The Croft (+971 4 319 4000, marriott. com), modern British cuisine with a twist is the culinary mantra (try the tongue and cheek pie, it's a surprisingly delicious revelation). With a focus on sourcing homegrown produce and working with local suppliers where possible, the menu is packed with the expected and the intriguing, with dishes such foie grasstuffed chicken and Chef Sentil's mum's curry among the highlights. The Scene (+971 4 422 2328, thescenedubai.com) by TV chef and author Simon Rimmer is the frontrunner at Pier 7, a hugely popular sevenfloor, seven-restaurant tower set on a (licensed) pier in Dubai Marina. British-style comfort food is the gist of it – think deep-filled pies, veal Scotch eggs, battered fish and chunky chips – while veggies and vegans have their own thoughtfully designed collection of dishes including curries and burgers. 38 Basta! by David Myers IN THE KNOW Perfect pizza EATALY The Dubai Mall, 800 328 259, eataly.ae Eataly’s simple margherita is so good, the tomato sauce so rich and flavoursome, you may well forgo fancy toppings for ever. BASTA! BY DAVID MYERS Renaissance Downtown Hotel, Dubai, +971 4 512 5522, basta-dubai.com The celebrity chef adds a sprinkle of stardust to the simple pizza here, serving up slices crisp from the wood-fire oven. TORNO SUBITO W Dubai – The Palm +971 4 245 5555 Massimo Bottura is chef at The World's Best Restaurant, but when he opened this seaside spot he asked a fellow Italian to make the pizza dough for him, believing him to make the world's best. FOODIE DISTRICT DIFC Within Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is Gate Village, where amid the high-end galleries and auction houses are some of Dubai’s best restaurants. At Zuma (+971 4 425 5560, zumarestaurant.com) the ever outstanding Japanese food is best ordered to share. As it is at the always buzzing La Petite Maison (+971 4 439 0505, lpmlondon.co.uk/ dubai), which uses produce from local UAE farms in a number of its fabulous creations, all of which have their roots in French- Mediterranean cooking. Greek-Mediterranean restaurant GAIA (+971 4 241 4242, gaia-dubai.com) has racked up the plaudits since it opened at the back end of last year, with the chef's passion for flavour evident in every dish. How about crumbly feta cheese baked and draped in honey to start you off? For something more casual BOCA (+971 4 323 1833, boca.ae) is a bar/ restaurant concept that does Mediterranean dishes to share, preferably with a bottle drawn from its very wellstocked cellar.
