MICHELIN Guide unveils three new Bib Gourmands in Dubai

The MICHELIN Guide ceremony will take place on 23 May.

Dubai, known for its extravagant dining scene, is set to dazzle food enthusiasts once again as the highly anticipated MICHELIN Guide Dubai 2023 prepares for its grand reveal. While the prestigious event is slated for Tuesday, 23 May, MICHELIN’s inspectors have already announced some new Bib Gourmands in town.

Delighting palates since 1997, the Bib Gourmand distinction celebrates restaurants that offer exceptional quality and value. This distinction, represented by the Michelin Man, has become a global hit, guiding food lovers toward unforgettable culinary experiences that don’t break the bank.

Last year, the inaugural edition of the MICHELIN Guide Dubai showcased an impressive selection of 14 Bib Gourmand establishments, all meticulously chosen by anonymous inspectors renowned for their discerning tastes. This year, the inspectors have added three deserving venues to the coveted list. These culinary hotspots bring together diverse flavours from around the world, showcasing the richness of diverse cuisines.

21Grams

Nestled on the second floor of Meyan Mall, this unpretentious yet inviting urban Balkan bistro captivates diners with its homemade dishes designed for sharing. Influences from Eastern Europe, Greece and Turkey dance together, delivering fresh, satisfying flavours. Don’t miss their signature phyllo pie or the delightful array of egg dishes available during breakfast.

3Fils

Step into this unassuming eatery, boasting an open kitchen and a relaxed atmosphere. Sit outside, savouring the picturesque view of Jumeirah Fishing Harbour. Guided by their motto of “making complex simple,” 3Fils serves up Asian small plates bursting with vibrant, Japanese-inspired flavours. Plan on indulging in 3 to 4 dishes per person for a satisfying dining experience.

Aamara

Created by the talented minds behind the Trèsind group, Aamara captures the essence of the Silk Route, drawing inspiration from diverse regions spanning the Mediterranean to Eastern Asia. Vibrant and lively, this restaurant embraces the art of sharing, with must-try dishes like butterfly prawn with muhammara and the tantalising Aamara finger salad featuring lettuce cream.

The three restaurants join Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant, Bait Maryam, Brasserie Boulud, Fi’lia, folly, Goldfish, Ibn Albahr, Indya by Vineet, Kinoya, Ninive, Orfali Bros, REIF Japanese Kushiyaki, Shabestan and Teible as the MICHELIN Guide Dubai’s Bib Gourmand selections for 2023.
