Best European restaurants in Dubai 2025: 10 highly-rated spots to try next
Love European food? Look no further. Here's a list of the best European restaurants in Dubai, as chosen by the Time Out Dubai team. Check out the full list of Time Out Dubai Restaurant Awards 2025 winners here Here at Time Out Dubai, we celebrate diversity and deliciousness, with the best European restaurants in Dubai offering the best of the continent. Time Out Dubai reviews anonymously and pays for all its meals. For more on the review process click here. These are the best European Restaurants in Dubai, as recognised by the Time Out Dubai Restaurant Awards 2025. The best European restaurants in Dubai 2025 WINNER Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (Credit: Dinner by Heston Blumenthal) One of the most famous chefs in the world, Heston Blumenthal, opened a restaurant in the eye-popping Atlantis The Royal in 2023. And two years later, it still hits all the high notes. A stunning experience from start to finish, the service is impeccable, grape list wide ranging and dishes creative and expertly prepared. You'll have seen the Insta posts of the famed 'meat fruit' and if you're a carnivore it's well worth trying. As is everything else on the British menu, especially the steak and a dessert from circa 1810. Quirky, fun and elegant at the same time, this is one for a special occasion that will be truly memorable. Licensed. Atlantis The Royal, Palm Jumeirah, (04 426 2444). Check out our full Dinner by Heston Blumenthal review here Highly Commended: Bull & Bear (Credit: Bull & Bear) This formerly North American restaurant (New York-inspired to be exact) has completely shifted its focus to a European offering led by British chef Marc Hardiman. The lovely grown-up vibes and slick service, however, have stayed the same. It's a truly refined dining experience with a short and sweet menu that features just 19 thoughtfully crafted dishes, which highlight local ingredients and sustainability. Some unmissable dishes include a purple potato wrapped in seaweed and caviar, a sustainable crab sandwich and a satsuma wagyu steak with duck fat fries. To really get a deeper experience, make sure you go for one of the three tasting menus on offer starting from Dhs295 per person. Licensed. Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre, DIFC, (04 515 9888). Check out our full Bull & Bear review here Lana Lusa (Credit: Lana Lusa) We've long been fans of Lana Lusa's traditional Portuguese cuisine (that's why you'll find it in Time Out Market Dubai), but in its new home at the Four Seasons Private Residences, both the food and the dining experience have levelled up. It's a gorgeous space for a start, with a dreamy terrace overlooking Dubai Canal, and while there's still that home-cooked vibe, with recipes from the founder's grandmother, the menu also includes more diverse Mediterranean dishes. It's licensed as well, with Portuguese grape and mixed drinks to pair with your meal. Licensed. Four Seasons Private Residences Dubai, Jumeirah 2 (04 380 1515). Check out our full Lana Lusa review here Shortlisted carine A cute Mediterranean restaurant from famed chef Izu Ani, carine is a charming space for a catch-up with friends or a romantic date night. With chic interiors full of neutral tones and delightful accents such as bowls of lemons and bottles of olive oil, there's a low-key, friendly vibe, while the large outdoor terrace overlooks the rolling greens of the golf course. Coming from chef Izu, the food is particularly impressive with standouts including watermelon salad, tuna tartare, onion tart, lobster linguine and perfectly grilled lamb chops. Save room for dessert – the tarte tatin is a buttery, sweet plate of joy. Licensed. Emirates Golf Club, Sheikh Zayed Road, @ (04 417 9885). Check out our full carine review here City Social Dubai (Credit: City Social Dubai) Coming from renowned British chef Jason Atherton, this is a sister to his popular City Social in London. Set on the 43rd floor of Grosvenor House Dubai, City Social Dubai is one of the best European restaurants in Dubai and affords stellar views across the Marina to Bluewaters and the Palm. The vibe is elegant and the menu is modern European, with a hint of Asia thanks to ingredients such as Hokkaido scallops, which are served with charred corn and red pepper confit for a delicious combination. Other hits include stuffed tomato, shellfish raviolo, while the grills shouldn't be missed either – especially the tender steaks. While at City Social, be sure to stop into Atherton's cool speakeasy bar 7 Tales for a drink, too. Licensed. Grosvenor House Dubai, Dubai Marina, (04 402 2222). Check out our full City Social Dubai review here. Jara by Martín Berasategui (Credit: Jara by Martín Berasategui) In the hands of Spanish masterchef Martín Berasategui, whose restaurants have earned 11 Michelin stars to date, the rustic cuisine of the Basque Country gets a serious glow-up at The Lana. Serving up some of the finest European food in the city, Jara's menu is centred around charcoal-grilled meats and seafood, from dry-aged Spanish ribeye to Cantabrian carabineros. The anchovy duo starter and smoked brioche caviar demand your attention, as do Berasategui's signature croquettes. That's if you can take your eyes off the spectacular views. Licensed. The Lana Dorchester Collection Dubai, Business Bay, (04 541 7755). Check out our full Jara by Martín Berasategui review here Maison Revka (Credit: Maison Revka) Arriving in Dubai via Paris and St. Tropez, this French import is actually a celebration of food from central Europe, from Poland and Slovakia to Bulgaria and the Ukraine. Inspired by Slavic culture and cuisine, the menu puts caviar, smoked salmon and raw dishes centre-stage and recommends ordering plates to share. Desserts are another highlight here, with four different types of pavlova begging to be tried. More than just a restaurant, you can spend the day at Maison Revka with a plush lounger by the pool and even stock up on gourmet treats and posh tableware at the boutique. Licensed. Delano Dubai, Bluewaters Island, (04 543 2900). StreetXO With StreetXO, acclaimed avant-garde chef Dabiz Muñoz has created something that shouldn't work, but that absolutely does. A riotous mish-mash of Asian and Spanish cuisine, perhaps most easily summed up by the kimchi croquette with tuna sashimi or the crazy paella with shrimp and king crab cooked in a tom yum broth, this is food that is genuinely exciting. Challenge your perceptions with street food amped up to the max in an uber-luxurious setting – and a surprisingly refreshing price tag. It's unlike any European restaurant you'll have visited before, and that's what makes it one of the best. Licensed. One&Only One Za'abeel, Za'abeel 1, (04 666 1617). Check out our full StreetXO review here Studio Frantzén (Credit: Studio Frantzén) Hands down one of the best European restaurants in Dubai, Studio Frantzén from Swedish chef Björn Frantzén is just a really cool place to go for dinner. The dining room is buzzing, but if you can take a seat at the kitchen counter for a more intimate experience, do it. Watch classic Nordic cuisine come to life with a dash of Asian umami, discover Scandinavian sushi (it's a thing), and pile up your plates with some of the most brilliant sides we've ever tried. Oh, and prepare to get totally giddy in the Candy Room, where dessert is an experience all of its own. Licensed. Atlantis The Royal, Palm Jumeirah, (054 584 3105). Twiggy Credit: Twiggy by La Cantine Perched above Twiggy Lagoon at the chic Park Hyatt Dubai is oh-so-elegant Twiggy by La Cantine. All neutral tones, rattan furnishings and gorgeous boho-chic décor, this spot is perfect for a lazy lunch or romantic dinner. As well as views over the lagoon pool, you'll be treated to a view of Dubai Creek and the Downtown skyline, with the twinkling Burj Khalifa front and centre. From sushi to salads, a brilliant burrata, superb lobster ravioli and a range of expertly grilled meat and seafood, everything is fresh, fragrant and adds to the holiday feels. One of the best European restaurants in Dubai, with one of the best settings, too. Licensed. Park Hyatt Dubai, Deira, (04 602 1105).
