Excellent food by a fantastic chef. It’s in a mall but is far from a “mall restaurant”.

Flavourful Abundance 3 Fils holds the title of Best Restaurant in Middle East & North Africa 2022 and after just one visit you’ll understand why. This casual and reasonably priced dining spot overlooks the Jumeirah Fishing Harbour and it’s, arguably, one of the most popular restaurants in Dubai (with good reason, of course). The restaurant offers unique community style dining with large shared tables. You can look forward to a menu selection of Japanese influenced dishes. Each and every dish is loaded with flavour to impress. The ‘Charcoal’ surprise is one of their signature dishes that’s not to be missed; a secret dish that will not only keep you guessing but wanting more too. Another classic 3 Fils dish is their seaweed salad which boasts sweet apple and crunchy walnuts. And of course, you can’t go wrong with the mouth-watering 3 Fils wagyu truffle burger; simply superb. Great food, great service and a great setting; you don’t want to miss out on 3 Fils when visiting Dubai.

Teible is at its best when drawing big flavours out of local ingredients. Teible recently opened focusing on farm to table, sustainably sourced local ingredients. It’s best dishes are those bold, “go for it” courses layering flavours — like the garum steak tartare with manchego, 80 day fermented local beef garum burger or the thousand dates mille-feuille with fresh fig brûlée. This is a restaurant to watch in Dubai.
