If you're targeting the best restaurants in Dubai, head to Armani/Amal at Armani Hotel. It's an al fresco Indian restaurant, very beautiful and stylish. Prepare to go through face control and shell out 350-500 AED for dinner.
An even more pretentious place is the Michelin-starred French restaurant Reflets by Pierre Gagnaire on Al Rebat Street. The average bill at this establishment is AED 700.
Fans of Italian food will be led to Massimo's Italian Restaurant on Park Island (average bill is 80 AED) by Dubai restaurant reviews.
Seafood is served at Seagrill on 25° Restaurant & Lounge at Fairmont The Palm Hote (average bill is 150 AED).
Vegetarians are welcome at the open-air XVA Cafe at the hotel of the same name. Those looking for an African-inspired meat feast, on the other hand, are invited to Dubai's exotic restaurant The Grand Grill on Habtoor Grand Beach (average bill: 80 AED).
Dubai's affordable restaurants include Liwan at Al Ghurair Rayhaan by Rotana, a family-friendly spot for international cuisine. The average bill is 150 AED.
As you can see, prices in Dubai restaurants vary quite a lot, and the cost of eating out will depend on your preferences. Even good but not too fancy restaurants are not expensive, and cafes are even cheaper.
The best cafes in Dubai are Pappa Roti on the second floor of Dubai Mall (amazing coffee and pastries) and Lime Tree Cafe on Jumeirah Beach Road, where you'll be treated to delicious Mediterranean cuisine.
