Dinner review: Il Borro Tuscan Bistro Dubai
In its first venture outside of Italy, Il Borro is a Tuscan estate owned by the Ferragamo family, steeped with over 1,000 years of culinary heritage (and trust me, on taste of the food here, and you can really tell). Perched idyllically on the side of Jumeirah Al Naseem’s turtle rehabilitation lagoon, Il Borro offers a warm and welcoming, homely feel with a neutral colour scheme throughout.

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

This Indian restaurant is based in the palatial Jumeirah Zabeel Saray hotel on Palm Jumeirah. Although Amala is largely focused on North Indian cuisine (particularly Mughali with plenty of Ottoman flavours), it also has a Malabar set menu, for those who prefer southern Goan-style dishes.

Dinner review: Segreto, Souk Madinat Jumeirah
Segreto used to be an Italian fine dining restaurant, hidden away within the vast maze of corridors and staircases that make up the Souk Madinat Jumeirah. It underwent renovations last year and ditched the pomposity that comes with silver service. Today it serves simple Italian cooking alongside a fantastic view. It's now more bistro than a fine dining establishment, and far better for it.
