Michelin Guide 2023: Here are all the Michelin Star restaurants in Dubai
The Michelin inspectors have spoken for a second year…
Just in: the Dubai Michelin Guide 2023 is here – and the city’s hospitality industry has a lot to celebrate. This year’s Michelin Guide features 3 two Michelin Star restaurants (an increase from 2 in 2022) and 11 one Michelin Star Restaurants (an increase from 9 in 2022). There are also three Green Star recipients (an increase from 1 in 2022), 17 Bib Gourmands (up from 14 in 2022) and four restaurants were recognised with Michelin Special Awards. In total, 90 restaurants feature in the guide, an increase from 69 in 2022.
Interestingly, there were once again no three Michelin Star restaurants, and no restaurants lost stars.
Here is the list of Michelin Star restaurants in Dubai for 2023.

About the Michelin ratings
On Tuesday, May 23, Dubai’s top restaurants gathered at Atlantis The Royal to find out who has been awarded one Michelin Star (high-quality cooking, worth a stop), two Michelin Stars (excellent cooking, worth a detour), and three Michelin Stars (exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey). The Bib Gourmand restaurants (places offering great cooking at reasonable prices) were already revealed last week, with 17 Dubai restaurants awarded a Bib Gourmand.
