Dubai’s Hottest New Restaurants and Bars to Watch in 2025

More and more restaurants and bars are preparing to open in Dubai in 2025, making its dining scene even more attractive. People who love food can find much to enjoy in the city, from beach restaurants to elite dining venues.

The new Canary Beach, designed by the same team behind Canary Club and The MAINE, will open at Club Vista Mare, Palm Jumeirah. There will be a range of beach-ready dishes, including sushi and ceviches.

CARBONE, an acclaimed Italian-American restaurant from New York, is moving to Atlantis The Royal. Because it’s a hotspot for celebrities, expect veal parmesan, traditionally dressed wait staff and an atmosphere inspired by 1950s New York when you visit here.

Gran Meliá Dubai Jumeirah is introducing several new ideas such as Cazibeli (a Turkish kind of communal dining), Novikov (Italian-Mediterranean), Park Chinois (luxury Chinese that reflects 1930s Shanghai) and Rubia Gallega (Spanish steakhouse for Galician beef).

Pan-Asian food, sushi and evening entertainment are all promised when Geisha dines open in the DIFC district in May. At the same time, the French concept Mūn will offer sharing plates from Asian cuisine at J1 Beach, La Mer.

Nobu One Za’abeel, the newest Dubai branch of Nobu, will deliver skyline vistas, options for private dining and live events at The Link.

YUBI completes our list as the city’s first homegrown Japanese handroll bar and will debut at 25 Jump Street, One Central in August.

Because there are so many different ideas to draw from, upcoming eateries and watering holes are projected to lift Dubai’s culinary scene to new heights.
