TORNO SUBITO, W DUBAI<br />
- THE PALM<br />
Despite being a shiny, smiley, seaside<br />
affair, Torno Subito carries the<br />
weighty expectation of Chef Massimo<br />
Bottura on its shoulders, he of three<br />
Michelin stars and 2018’s <strong>World</strong>’s<br />
Best Restaurant (for Italy’s Osteria<br />
Francescana) acclaim. It doesn’t<br />
buckle. A playful gem topped by the<br />
best gelato in town.<br />
What to order: The mere but<br />
magnificent margherita pizza takes<br />
centre stage, edging the too-rich-forour-taste<br />
chef’s favourite.<br />
MEKONG, ANANTARA THE PALM<br />
DUBAI RESORT<br />
Pan-Asian restaurants usually suffer<br />
by being, as the saying goes, a<br />
jack of all trades but a master of<br />
none. Not so Mekong, which has<br />
proved itself skilled in Chinese and<br />
Vietnamese and a master of Thai. Park<br />
yourself in rickshaw-style seating for<br />
complementing views across to the city.<br />
What to order: The comes-with-a-kick<br />
phad kaprow goong.<br />
101 DINING LOUNGE AND<br />
MARINA, ONE&ONLY THE PALM<br />
Nowhere says you’re having dinner<br />
on the Palm quite like this place, the<br />
terrace of which bestows glorious<br />
across-water views of the city’s spiked<br />
skyline. With a new menu rubber<br />
stamped by three-Michelin starred chef<br />
Yannick Alléno, the food doesn’t suffer<br />
by comparison.<br />
What to order: Anything plucked from<br />
the sea is good, but Alléno’s take on<br />
bouillabaisse is best.<br />
RUE ROYALE, THE POINTE<br />
The pride of the Palm’s foodie hotspot<br />
The Pointe, Rue Royale is the result<br />
of chef Mathieu Viannay’s ambitious<br />
quest to sprinkle his Michelin stardust<br />
over an entirely Halal and alcohol-free<br />
menu inspired by classic French fare.<br />
TRUCK ON…<br />
Swap fine dining for side-ofthe<br />
road bites at the 11km-long<br />
The Boardwalk, which is home to<br />
several dozen food trucks serving<br />
everything from fish and chips<br />
to shawarma, which you can<br />
tuck into while soaking up<br />
the sea views.<br />
Dishes are on the pricey side, but worth<br />
it for the prized ingredients used.<br />
What to order: The milk-fed lamb<br />
shoulder from the rotisserie.<br />
THE RIB ROOM, JUMEIRAH<br />
ZABEEL SARAY<br />
Its elder sibling in Jumeirah Emirates<br />
Towers is a city stalwart, but this<br />
outpost tops it. Here you can truly<br />
