With the arrival of the Michelin Guide to Dubai last year, the Emirates dining scene is set to rise to new heights. We have pinned down the top five trends that are shaping the UAE gastronomy landscape right now.
With its rich tapestry of culinary experiences, the UAE continues to push boundaries in gastronomy in 2023. The prestigious Michelin guide arrival, fusion cuisine, immersive dining experiences, sustainable practices and the enchantment of edible flowers will shape the culinary landscape of the Emirates. Join us on this exciting gastronomic adventure as we celebrate the top 5 trends that promise to delight UAE's food enthusiasts in 2023.
In 2023 fusion cuisine gives us the much needed respite from the complexities of our daily lives. Giving all an opportunity to appreciate how our differences can complement each other to offer new twists on our favourite dishes. Dubai's multicultural environment has fostered a vibrant fusion of flavours and culinary traditions. Restaurants in Dubai are increasingly exploring creative combinations, merging different cuisines to create unique and innovative dining experiences. From Emirati-Asian fusion to Levantine-Mediterranean blends, Dubai's restaurants celebrate the harmonious coexistence of diverse culinary influences.
2023 has seen restaurants in Dubai going beyond serving exceptional food; they are creating immersive dining experiences that engage all the senses. From interactive culinary theatrics to multi-sensory tasting menus, these establishments aim to captivate diners and leave a lasting impression. One spot our editorial team has been buzzing about is KRASOTA gastro theatre. By incorporating art, technology, and storytelling, KRASOTA is transforming dining into an unforgettable journey.
As the world increasingly embraces sustainability, UAE's gastronomy scene is no exception. In 2023, a conscious effort is being made by restaurants to source local, reduce food waste, and implement eco-friendly practices. Gastronomy will unite with sustainability, offering diners an opportunity to indulge in culinary delights while contributing to a greener future.
One way of achieving sustainability goals is the farm-to-table solution. The movement has gained significant traction in recent years. Restaurants are showcasing locally sourced ingredients, often partnering with nearby farms to provide fresh produce. This trend not only supports local farmers but also highlights the flavours and diversity of the region.
Fusion Cuisine
A blossoming sensation that unites both the demand for elevated cuisine and the promise of a sustainable future. As the Michelin guide dons its stars and recommended emblems on the city’s restaurants, their chefs adorn their creations with culinary gems of 2023: edible flowers. Nature's vibrant blooms take centre stage on UAE's gastronomic landscape. The edible flowers not only enhance the visual appeal but also contribute subtle floral notes, complementing the flavours of the dish.

Dubai is quickly becoming the worldwide convergence point for gastronomy experiences and we are here for it. Cultures and tastes blend in unique ways to offer new exciting flavour combinations for restaurants in 2023. Fine dining has never been finer, and the best at it go beyond serving excellent food. Now is the best time to delve into the world of immersive shows but be sure to book in advance. But while these trends focus on the pursuit of novelty and excellence, the city is growing ever more environmentally conscious. The goal now is to achieve high culinary standards while using sustainable practices to ensure the longevity or region’s dominance in the gastronomy scene. With the city’s demand for unique experiences and sustainability, edible flowers will be the “it” item on the menu of 2023.
