The MICHELIN Guide ceremony will take place on 23 May.
Dubai, known for its extravagant dining scene, is set to dazzle food enthusiasts once again as the highly anticipated MICHELIN Guide Dubai 2023 prepares for its grand reveal. While the prestigious event is slated for Tuesday, 23 May, MICHELIN’s inspectors have already announced some new Bib Gourmands in town.
Delighting palates since 1997, the Bib Gourmand distinction celebrates restaurants that offer exceptional quality and value. This distinction, represented by the Michelin Man, has become a global hit, guiding food lovers toward unforgettable culinary experiences that don’t break the bank.
Last year, the inaugural edition of the MICHELIN Guide Dubai showcased an impressive selection of 14 Bib Gourmand establishments, all meticulously chosen by anonymous inspectors renowned for their discerning tastes. This year, the inspectors have added three deserving venues to the coveted list. These culinary hotspots bring together diverse flavours from around the world, showcasing the richness of diverse cuisines.

Nestled on the second floor of Meyan Mall, this unpretentious yet inviting urban Balkan bistro captivates diners with its homemade dishes designed for sharing.

Don’t miss their signature phyllo pie or the delightful array of egg dishes available during breakfast.
3Fils
Step into this unassuming eatery, boasting an open kitchen and a relaxed atmosphere. Sit outside, savouring the picturesque view of Jumeirah Fishing Harbour. Guided by their motto of “making complex simple,” 3Fils serves up Asian small plates bursting with vibrant, Japanese-inspired flavours.
