Asian Magic

This month we visited Wakame, a modern Asian concept cuisine restaurant within the Sofitel Dubai Downtown. While the main influences are Chinese, Japanese and Thai cuisine, each dish has an interesting international element that completely changes the treatment of the dish. We tried a set menu that is priced at...

The Frevo Experience

In recent times, the Churrascaria model of restaurants have taken a glamorous turn from the historical steakhouses. Dubai has seen many of these type of restaurants mushrooming in specific locations. Enter Frevo, a steakhouse that boasts Brazilian cuisine. The Frevo Experience is a typical offering of this kind, with an...

Ostentatious Okku

This month we decided to go sample fusion Japanese on a whim. So Okku was the prime choice due to its eight-year track record of positive reviews. Although it was Ramadan, the ambiance was fascinating, albeit slightly dim. We decided to try the “O” Style tasting menu. It was a...

Boldly Italian

This month Premium visited the Solo restaurant at the Raffles hotel in Umm Hurair. The foyer of the restaurant resembled a vintage tavern style setting with its rustic furniture. But when we walked into the dining area the interiors were a mix between the rustic and refined looks, with exposed brick...

Destination Steak

Situated on the 68th floor of the JW Marriot Marquis is a steakhouse that never fades out of style, owing to the sheer strength of its culinary offerings. Prime 68, so far, has only garnered positive appreciation, over the years of its existence. Therefore Prime68 is Premium’s go-to place this...

Indian Elegance

Take a look around town. The number of Indian or Indian fusion restaurants have quietly multiplied. Mixing, shaping, flavouring and creating new dishes that sometimes don’t even look like what one had in mind. And in the middle of all these, Rang Mahal stands tall and proud, looking out from...

A Bespoke Experience

You know those out-of-the-way places that give you the feeling you are no longer in the place where you stay (in this case Dubai)? Stay by Yannick Alléno has this quality – quiet, away from the crowd, but dazzling with opulence nonetheless. Going to a restaurant by a three Michelin-star...

Innovative Italian

There are many restaurants in Dubai that stay true to classical Italian cuisine, and some others who veer off to explorative routes. Roberto’s in the DIFC falls in the latter category, choosing to be eclectic in approach, borrowing from many well-known cultures and cuisines. Roberto’s opened doors in the DIFC...
