DUBAI: The Michelin Guide on Tuesday revealed the new Bib Gourmand restaurants for the 2023 Dubai guide: 21 Grams, 3Fils and Aamara.
The Bib Gourmand puts the spotlight on the restaurants offering authentic and memorable culinary experiences at a moderate price. Launched in 1997, this distinction highlights restaurants offering quality and value cooking.
The owner of 21 Grams calls her simply styled but warm neighborhood space an “urban Balkan bistro.” As such, the dishes are made for sharing and the influences come from all over the region, from Eastern Europe down to Greece and Turkey.
3Fils has an open kitchen, a pared-back interior and a laid-back vibe. The restaurant overlooks the Jumeirah Fishing Harbour. Their strapline is “making complex simple” and the Asian small plates deliver fresh, vibrant flavours with a strong nod to Japan.
Aamara, by Trèsind group, covers everything from the Mediterranean to Eastern Asia. Dishes are designed for sharing and must-haves include butterfly prawn with muhammara, and the Aamara finger salad with lettuce cream.
The full Michelin Guide Dubai 2023 list will be unveiled on May 23.
