Here are some new Dubai restaurants that you should check out.

Carna

@whatsondubai@slsdubai has a new restaurant – meet Carna by Dario Cecchini ##dubairestaurants ##whatsondubai ##LiveForTheChallenge ##wheretoeatdubai ##dubai_dxb_uae♬ original sound – Sickickmusic

Celebrity butcher Dario Cecchini has opened his first Dubai restaurant in SLS Dubai. Carna is found on the 74th floor so you’re guaranteed fantastic views of the city below. Floor to ceiling windows break up green-tiled walls surrounding an ample selection of chandeliers and cushy booth tables. There aren’t many steakhouses in Dubai that really utilise the entirety of the animal in the cooking, which is exactly what makes Italian butcher Dario Cecchini and his restaurants extra special.

Carna by Dario Cecchini, SLS Dubai, Business Bay, daily 7pm to 1am. Tel: (0)4 607 0757. @carnadubai

This retro Havana-inspired restaurant will take you straight back to the 1950s. Authentically Cuban, Rumba has nods to the Latin American culture everywhere you look. The detail goes beyond traditional food and pretty artwork, you’ll see hints of Cuba right down to the napkins. The menu is designed as an old fashioned newspaper, packed with dishes and facts, as well as some cool creative cocktails.

Rumba, Club Vista Mare, Palm Jumeirah, daily 12pm to 1am. @rumbadubai
