Dubai Three Michelin Stars
MICHELIN unveiled the fourth edition of its annual MICHELIN Guide Dubai during a glittering ceremony in Downtown Dubai, which saw the naming of the city’s first ever MICHELIN three-starred restaurants.
This year’s MICHELIN Guide Dubai, a dedicated gastronomy guide which features the city’s best dining venues and talents, includes a total of 119 restaurants, indicating a 72.5% rise since the Guide’s inaugural edition in 2022 when 69 outlets were highlighted. With the results determined by MICHELIN’s inspectors, the increase in selected restaurants reflects Dubai’s fast-growing and diverse culinary scene.
In addition to the overall increase in selected venues, two restaurants received Three MICHELIN Stars for the first time since the destination’s guide launched in 2022, marking a historical moment in Dubai’s culinary scene. This distinction highlights exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.
Having received its first MICHELIN Star in 2022 and second in 2023, homegrown concept Trèsind Studio, Chef Himanshu Saini’s flagship restaurant, is now the first Indian three MICHELIN Star restaurant in the world.
Chef Björn Frantzén, whose restaurants Frantzén (Stockholm, Sweden) and Zén (Singapore) have already been awarded three stars respectively, has added another to his extensive MICHELIN Star collection with FZN by Björn Frantzén now receiving the accolade. This makes him the only chef in the world to currently hold Three MICHELIN Stars in three different restaurants simultaneously.

Featuring a diverse selection of 35 cuisines, the 119 restaurants featured in the MICHELIN Guide Dubai 2025 directly underpins the city’s vibrant culinary landscape by offering unique dining experiences while also supporting the city’s tourism and economic objectives.
Home to thousands of restaurants and F&B outlets, including world-renowned and homegrown brands, Dubai is known for being one of the most impressive culinary capitals across the globe. The diverse landscape caters to a host of varied tastes, preferences and budgets and according to the Dubai Gastronomy Industry Report 2024, the city ranks second only to Paris as the world’s leading gastronomy capital, and was also named one of the top 10 cities for foodies to dine in.
Celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, the MICHELIN Guide is one of the world’s oldest, and most prestigious culinary authorities. Since its inception, it’s been rating restaurants anonymously through a three-star approach, in addition to the introduction of Bib Gourmand which highlights first-class affordable dining options. The MICHELIN Green Star was introduced five years ago to highlight restaurants prioritising sustainability within their offerings.
The city’s gastronomic evolution has been among the key driving factors behind its continued tourism growth, with Dubai welcoming 7.15 million international overnight visitors from January to April 2025 – a 7% YoY increase compared to the same period in 2024.
