Dinner review: Asado, Downtown Dubai
In South America, ‘Asado’ is a colloquial term for barbecue, but don’t let the name deceive you: Asado in Downtown Dubai is very much a fine dining restaurant.

Dinner review: Seafire, Atlantis the Palm, Dubai
Behind two inviting, large wooden doors lives Seafire, a modern steakhouse that offers a roomy restaurant setting ideal for group dinners, plus a separate bar area for pre- and post-dinner drinks.

Dinner review: Lao, Waldorf Astoria Palm Jumeirah
Lao has been a stalwart of Dubai's dining scene ever since the hotel opened three years ago. But while it was previously known for serving pan-Asian cuisine, it has wisely switched tack. Today, it specialises in Vietnamese food – which, considering a vast majority of its staff hail from that particular part of South East Asia – is a very good thing

Dinner review: Bistrot Bagatelle
